25.4.2018 09:02:16 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Digital Element , the global geolocation data and services provider, today announced that global media company, Discovery Inc., has adopted its NetAcuity hyperlocal IP geolocation technology, to ensure the right people see the right content and remain compliant with geographic rights across Europe.
Discovery has a global reach of more than three billion viewers across more than 220 countries and territories and is home of leading TV offerings including Eurosport, Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, to name a few. The internationally-renowned brand reaches audiences across screens through digital-first programming from providers including Group Nine Media, Discovery VR, and Eurosport Player.
European telecommunications companies often operate across numerous territories and distribute IP addresses to multiple regions, which can make the management of geographic TV rights complex. By adopting Digital Element's IP intelligence solution, NetAcuity, which enables the identification of the precise location of their viewers, Discovery can permit access to content where it is permitted and restrict access where it is not.
"As a leading media and entertainment company, it is vital Discovery’s customers are able to distribute our content within geographical restrictions,” said Eugene Huang, Senior Vice President for Digital Product and Technology at Discovery. “By implementing Digital Element’s NetAcuity technology, Discovery ensures compliance with third-party rights holders, while guaranteeing end users see the high-quality content they expect from Discovery.”
Digital Element is the global leader and industry pioneer in IP geolocation technology. Its intelligence solution provides the most detailed, hyperlocal dataset available worldwide today that complies with the highest standards of end-user privacy.
Charlie Johnson, Digital Element’s Vice President, UK & Ireland, commented: “We are delighted that Discovery, a global broadcaster with a reputation for providing high-quality content, can see the benefits of adopting our IP Intelligence solution, to make a real difference to its business.
“The installation of NetAcuity will allow Discovery to surmount the challenges posed by cross border telco IP address allocation, so it can fulfil its video rights obligations across all regions.”
Discovery joins some of Digital Element’s other high-profile clients including Disney Interactive, Sony Pictures, CNN, BBC, ESPN, Channel 5, Hulu, CBS Interactive, YouView, SHIFT72, Turn, Videology, Teads.tv and many others.
