Concurrent Targets Latin America with WESCO Agreement

Concurrent, (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global leader in unified content delivery and multi-screen video analytics solutions, today announced a strategic agreement with TVC Communications, a division of WESCO Distribution, Inc., to resell Concurrent’s UpShift Unified Content Delivery Solution to customers throughout the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA).

WESCO, through TVC Communications, is the region’s leading solutions provider, supplying the end-to-end system integration, localization, and field support services required to deploy Concurrent’s next generation content delivery network solutions. WESCO will resell Concurrent’s IP-CDN, transparent caching, cloud DVR, and video on-demand capabilities to address multi-screen and classic TV opportunities in the cable and telecommunications market.

“We are proud to work with TVC Communications to expand our sales reach into new and growing markets,” said Jim Marino, senior vice president, Global Sales & Services at Concurrent. “We believe UpShift, our unified content delivery solution, is well suited to meet the unique and demanding needs of Latin American service providers. Our all-in-one approach enables service providers to embrace new video formats and deliver revenue-generating services to the latest consumer electronics devices, while also providing a way to modernize their classic set-top box video-on-demand architectures. We believe WESCO will be a strong affiliate to help us introduce our class-leading solution set to a new and broader range of customers.”

The Latin American pay TV market continues to grow. According to BuddeComm, there are about 68 million pay TV subscribers in the region, an increase of 11 percent year-over-year. Online video usage in the region has also been growing. Online revenues in Latin America are projected to increase by 170 percent between 2013 and 2018 according to IHS Technology.

“Concurrent’s Unified Content Delivery Solution is a great fit for Latin American service providers that are seeking a more flexible and cost-effective way to reach Internet connected devices and enhance their traditional TV services,” said Ken Olsen, senior vice president and general manager of WESCO’s TVC Communications’ CALA Division. “Our in-region sales and support experience provides us with unique insight into the opportunities and challenges faced by Latin American service providers, and our agreement with Concurrent enables us to serve our customers’ needs. We look forward to working with Concurrent, showcasing their solutions to our customers, and providing the local support and services required to integrate their latest technology into operators’ networks.”

WESCO’s TVC Communications’ CALA Division is based in Miami. It maintains offices and personnel throughout Latin America to deliver full turnkey services, including system design and implementation services, project management, post-installation support, and product training.
