OPTIBASE, providers of digital streaming solutions over broadband networks, have announced an agreement to acquire core technologies of Hi-TV and ECI Telecom’s video networking product.
Under the terms of the agreement, Optibase will pay $3.75 million in cash to ECI for joint ownership of core Hi-TV technologies.
As part of the agreement, core members of Hi-TV’s engineering and development team as well as the development environment will be integrated into Optibase.
In addition, Optibase will obtain a perpetual royalty free license for other technologies and products used by the Hi-TV unit.
CEO and Chairman of the Board of Optibase Ran Eisenberg said: “With the acquisition of Hi-TV’s technology, Optibase will not only gain a talented team of engineers, but a set of important assets and capabilities that we believe will strengthen Optibase’s media gateway product line by expanding our capabilities in the networking arena.”

Optibase believes that this acquisition will enhance its capabilities in the areas of carrier-grade networking solutions and networking management solutions for the distribution of video over the carriers’ infrastructure.
