TDF (which stands forTélédiffusion de France officially renamedTDF in 2004) is a French company which provides radio and television transmission services, services for telecommunications operators, and other multimedia services – digitization of content, encoding, storage, etc.
Its headquarters are located inParis. It is the dominant partner in theHDRRWiMAX consortium and is also part ofDigital Radio Mondiale.
Arkena was European company that regroups four entities: Cognacq-Jay Image (France), PSN (Poland), Qbrick (Sweden) and SmartJog (France). These entities were all part of the Media Services division of the TDF Group.[1] Arkena provides full end-to-end media services such asplayout services, OTT (over-the-top content),Online video platform including stand-alone solutions[buzzword] for file transfer, storage and content preparation for any media.
Arkena was officially launched on 20 January 2014.[1] Its headquarters are located in Paris and it operates offices in London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Ivry-sur-Seine, and Turku. Almost 500 people are part of the Arkena organization.[2] Arkena went out of business as company in December 2019 and after a management buy-out, Cognac-Jay Image took over.
Télédiffusion de France was created in 1975 as part of the split-up of the formerly-unitary national broadcasterOffice de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF) into seven separate organisations. TDF therefore inherited the ORTF's transmitter network and other technical assets, and from 1984 also provided broadcasting-related services to the French private TV channels.
The TDF Group created its media services division in 2004 through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. Now, TDF Media Services regroups Arkena and BeBanjo.
In January 2014, the four companies dropped their name and merged their organisation, products and services. From this date, they all operate under the brand name Arkena.
Julien Seligmann, one of SmartJog's founders was in charge of the Media Services division of TDF since 2011.[6] and had been, until 2015, Arkena CEO[1]
