Vecima Joins Established Panel of Experts at Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies

“The New Video Playbook” panel to share insights on how cable providers can overcome challenges in the pay-TV marketplace

VICTORIA March 11, 2019 – Vecima Networks Inc. (“Vecima”) (TSX: VCM), today announced that Mr. Colin Howlett the company’s Vice President of Architecture, will join a panel of experts at the Cable Next-Gen Technologies & Strategies annual conference on Wednesday, March 13 in Denver, Colorado.

Mr. Howlett will participate in “The New Video Playbook” panel moderated by Heavy Reading Contributing Analyst Craig Leddy. During the session, he and his fellow panelists – including representatives from ARRIS, AirTV L.L.C. / Dish Network, Evolution Digital, and NetScout – will discuss the future of the pay-TV market and the challenges that cable operators need to overcome.

With traditional pay-TV programmers like HBO, Disney and Viacom now going direct-to-home and major OTT video services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Video increasingly signing distribution deals with legacy pay-TV providers, the video world has turned upside down. As cord-cutting continues to climb and OTT video carves out a bigger slice of the pay-TV pie, how can service providers cope? Is the traditional TV set-top box headed for extinction? How can all these new video services be delivered securely? The panel will look at where the pay-TV market is heading, what options are available for cable operators wishing to stay in the video game and what challenges must be overcome.
