Paris, Asunción – April 30, 2026 – Tigo Sports, Paraguay’s leading sports broadcaster, has fully upgraded its video infrastructure with state-of-the-art solutions from Ateme, a global leader in video delivery. This technological modernization strengthens its ability to produce and broadcast live content at the highest quality, reinforcing its position as a benchmark in Paraguayan football broadcasting.
As part of this project, Tigo Sports has deployed TITAN Live for live encoding and TITAN Mux for multiplexing, along with the PILOT Manager orchestrator, enabling centralized, efficient, and scalable management of the entire operation.
