Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW) announced today that Bestel,
a leading telecommunications provider in Mexico, is launching
Limelight's suite of integrated cloud-based applications under
Bestel's DigiContent brand. Limelight's end-to-end integrated
offerings will allow DigiContent customers to streamline all of the
processes throughout the digital content lifecycle and optimize the
content's performance across all channels, enabling them to quickly
and cost-effectively orchestrate a successful digital presence that
improves brand awareness and drives revenue.
Bestel develops and offers integrated telecommunications and
data solutions to large corporate and government customers,
carriers, competitive local exchange carriers, Internet service
providers, and application service providers throughout Mexico.
In 2007, Bestel became an affiliate of Grupo Televisa, the
largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world based on market
capitalization and a major participant in the international
entertainment business.
"Like most of today's telecom companies, Bestel is looking for
more ways to service business customers. With DigiContent
based on Limelight´s suite, Bestel is able to provide high-impact
value-added-services that enable companies to more easily and
quickly meet their online objectives. Rather than employ disparate
content management and delivery solutions, telecoms and enterprises
alike need a comprehensive offering like Limelight's to efficiently
build, manage, and optimize their digital presence," explains David
López Zuleta, CDN Director, Bestel.
"As a leading provider of telecommunications services in Mexico
for 12 years, Bestel has proven that it understands the diverse
challenges its customers face and what products and services they
need to effectively meet these demands. Bestel owns Mexico's
second largest fiber-optic network and provides a wide range of
integrated communication solutions that allow its customers to
optimize their communications strategies and increase their
business productivity. We view Bestel as an ideal
go-to-market ally in helping Mexican corporations enhance their
digital presence. Limelight Networks' value-added services are a
perfect complement to the advanced solutions Bestel currently
offers on its market-leading network," states David Hatfield,
Senior Vice President, Limelight Networks.
The Limelight cloud-based applications include Limelight Dynamic
Site Platform for web content management, Limelight Video Platform
for video content management, Limelight Accelerate for web, mobile,
and application acceleration, Limelight Reach Video and Limelight
Reach Ads for mobile video distribution and monetization, Agile
Storage for content storage, and Limelight Deliver and Limelight
Stream for content delivery. From the moment content is
created, these integrated applications give customers a complete
solution to rapidly upload, manage, publish, and analyze their
online and mobile content, accelerate web and mobile sites to
improve time-to-action, and optimize mobile video delivery and
monetization via intelligent device detection and advertising
integration from the edge of the Internet.
Underlying these offerings is Limelight's scalable,
high-performance, global computing platform, which has the scale
and global footprint to manage and deliver broadcast-quality
content to virtually any location around the world. To ensure
that content is delivered as fast as possible, Limelight's platform
relies on an intelligent software layer, which adapts each delivery
to the unique circumstances of each request. Images, web
pages, video, music, games, social media, and software downloads
are all delivered at lightning-fast speeds regardless of end user
location or traffic spikes.
"As today's hyper-connected users access more content on
multiple devices, companies need tools that enable them to
efficiently provide high quality online experiences across online,
mobile, and social channels. Limelight is the only vendor to
provide a complete solution for streamlining the processes of
uploading, managing, publishing, delivering, and analyzing online
and mobile content, thereby enabling businesses to enhance their
digital presence, increase revenue, and improve operational
efficiency," notes Hatfield.
