Kingston Inmedia is a satellite service provider that offers broadcast and internet products to businesses such as BBC, Reuters, CNN and Xerox.
Nick Thompson, CEO of Kingston Inmedia, sees the deal as an opportunity for his company to expand its reach and "grow significantly over the next few years," according to a statement.
