This week, Motorola Mobility announced that the company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Dreampark, a IPTV software provider based out of Sweden. Terms of the deal were not disclosed regarding the proposal, which is expected to close during the second quarter of this year.
Why Dreampark? Motorola Mobility is clearly interested in the company’s leading software product dubbed Dreamgallery, a middleware solution that enables operators to deliver services via television networks. When the deal closes, Motorola will begin the process of integrating Dreamgallery into the Motorola Medios software suite.
In short, the acquisition of Dreampark and its impressive slate of products will complement Motorola Mobility’s mobile device and home experience while “broadening its reach across multiple screens.”
