What Mediactive Group does

Mediactive Group is a French private infrastructure operator founded in 1997, headquartered in Paris with six offices across France (Paris, Choisy-le-Roi, Poitiers, Rennes, Toulouse). The company operates through six integrated divisions: Mediactive Network (cloud and telecom infrastructure, hosting, colocation, private fiber networks, disaster recovery since 1997), Mediactive Connect (private LAN/WiFi/IoT network management, including the OPENevents sub-brand deploying network infrastructure at 200+ event venues across France and Europe), Mediactive Digital (custom application, web, and mobile development), Mediactive Broadcast (streaming, TV channel playout, and audiovisual services), Mediactive Events (integrated IT and digital solutions for event organizers), and Mediactive 24/7 (combined NOC and Media Center providing 24/7/365 infrastructure monitoring and video flux supervision).

Mediactive serves two primary customer segments: TV channels and broadcasters requiring 24/7 playout and content distribution across TNT, satellite, internet boxes, and streaming platforms, and event organizers requiring integrated IT and digital infrastructure for live and hybrid events. The group manages the permanent flux of more than 200 French and international TV channels and processes over 50 million annual user connections through its OPENevents venue infrastructure. The portfolio has been assembled through both organic growth and acquisitions, consolidating specialist brands including ViewOn, Streamakaci, Labgency, Chyro, Blastream, and DVMR/AlterPop (acquired February 2024) under the group structure. Named enterprise customers include THEMA, CANAL+, WEBEDIA, Yuca, and Videolivemeeting.

The business model is built on enterprise managed services contracts combining infrastructure hosting, network connectivity, 24/7 operations support, and specialized broadcast and event technology services. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring service agreements with TV channels, broadcasters, and event organizers, supplemented by event-based deployment fees. Proprietary platforms (ChyroTV traffic manager, Blastream SaaS video production, Labgency secure distribution, OE Net/OE Portal network management) and owned infrastructure across 200+ sites provide the operational backbone. The company positions itself as the only operator offering fully integrated event technology services, from local network equipment to cloud/datacenter resources, under a single point of contact.
