"We have been assisting an ever growing number of cable operators with diagnostic tools to monitor and manage their HSD networks," said Rich Evans, EVP Sales and Marketing, OpenVault. "With this new agreement with FourthWall Media, we can incorporate their technology for data collection to broaden our capabilities by including FourthWall television infrastructure diagnostics as well. Bringing this combined product to market in our traditional Software as a Service (SaaS) model will make it easier to use and more affordable for operators of all sizes.
