Verizon Digital Media Services(DMS) is partnering with India's largest service provider, Bharti Airtel to provide superior digital media experiences to millions of internet users in India. Verizon DMS offers a next generation platform for all online video streaming and content delivery network (CDN) needs.
Verizon is opening new points of presence (PoPs) for its video platform in four cities across India: Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and New Delhi. The company's end-to-end platform also provides a variety of solutions including the Video Lifecycle Solution, the Web Acceleration Solution and the Commerce Acceleration Solution for broadcast, enterprise and commerce businesses, respectively.
The four PoP installations mark Verizon DMS' significant investment into expanding throughout the country, leveraging Airtel's digital infrastructure as a gateway to the market. This partnership will ensure that content on the Verizon Digital Media Services platform can be accessed by digital media consumers in a fast, seamless and reliable way and will improve the experience for users in India.
According to Verizon, the newly installed PoPs have already yielded exceptional outcomes. Using third-party Cedexis measurement tools, Verizon Digital Media Services claims that it has observed significant network improvements when comparing its network performance in India before and after the PoP installations.
