Following the sale of its Video Network business in June 2026, Synamedia is entering a new phase focused on helping operators compete more effectively in the battle for audience attention and rethink traditional television experiences. The company has accelerated innovation in cloud video platforms, streaming, advertising, and user experiences. Its products cover content distribution and delivery, video processing, advanced advertising, broadband offerings, and video security.
