Local video technology provider Espial (TSX:ESP) says it’s landed a deal to help one of its existing European customers add more features to its offerings.
Under the agreement, Espial will provide engineering and delivery services to Portugal’s NOS as the media company – which has more than 1.6 million television customers – works to more effectively monetize its video services.
Espial previously touted NOS as a customer in earnings calls with investors. The value of the latest contract was not disclosed.
