What this acquisition exactly means for Expway's partnership with Softil is yet unknown but it is expected that there will no changes made towards the joint approach of delivering Mission Critical Communications solutions.

ENENSYS, a leading designer and manufacturer of digital TV transmission technologies over Mobile, Terrestrial and Satellite Networks, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Expway, the world’s leading provider of LTE Broadcast infrastructure software and solutions.

Earlier last year Expway and mission-critical communications (MCC) enabler Softil announced that that they have integrated their technologies to bring to market the most advanced 3GPP standards-compliant mission-critical communications (MCC) voice, data and video solution to address applications in first responder networks such as those of police, fire and medical services.

The acquisition strengthens Expway’s ability to deploy its market leading LTE Broadcast technology, while both companies will join efforts to aggressively build and market the first 5G Broadcast solutions.

What this acquisition exactly means for Expway's partnership with Softil is yet unknown but it is expected that there will no changes made towards the joint approach of delivering Mission Critical Communications solutions.

With the acquisition, Expway will receive a boost, in engineering and sales resources from ENENSYS, to accelerate innovation, market presence and customer service growth. 

The two companies’ combined technologies will also enhance ENENSYS’ Terrestrial, Satellite and Cable market offering with the inherent efficiency of broadcast technology, enabling operators to provide OTT services at greater scale.
