International. Uniguest announced the acquisition of Tripleplay, a UK-based company, a market leader in the development of digital signage, IPTV and video streaming solutions.
The acquisition of Tripleplay complements the addition of Onelan in June 2018, creating a global leader for IPTV, digital signage and room reservation solutions. Prior to the acquisition, Uniguest operated more than 35,000 safe locations and more than 100,000 digital signs in more than 100 countries.
Tripleplay's award-winning IPTV solution further advances WITH ONELAN's digital signage solution to deliver live TV and video. With more than 5,000 server deployments worldwide and a global network of more than 100 integration partners, Tripleplay significantly increases the customer base while expanding Uniguest's footprint worldwide in stadiums and arenas, as well as in banking and finance.
"With the successful acquisition and integration of ONELAN's business into our portfolio in 2018, we reviewed a number of vendors that could offer complementary solutions that aligned with our core strategy to bring digital engagement to the industries in which we operate," said Uniguest CEO Jeff Hiscox. "Tripleplay was by far the best solution on the market and fit this profile perfectly; we are delighted to put them under the umbrella of Uniguest. By combining Tripleplay with ONELAN, we are creating an inexhaustible source for the audiovisual industry and we are excited to start this journey. We believe this is a great outcome for our customers and employees, and we are very excited about our future together."
Steve Rickless, Ceo of Tripleplay, will oversee the combined Tripleplay and ONELAN organizations with the support of the Tripleplay and ONELAN executive teams. Both companies will continue to operate from their respective offices with members of their current team. The ability to leverage each other's technical skills, research, and product sets will not only accelerate the company's growth, but also benefit customers and partners.
"This acquisition is a game-changer for Tripleplay and will bring significant advantages to our valued customers and partners," said Rickless. "Our market-leading solutions combined with ONELAN's suite of products will be one of the most powerful combinations available in the market today, and the partnership will allow us to deliver innovation and improved service. Backed by Uniguest's strength, our ability to deliver our aggressive strategic vision for our business is enhanced.
