What Qligent does
Qligent Corporation is a privately held, U.S.-based (Melbourne, Florida) provider of cloud-based media delivery monitoring and quality assurance software for broadcasters, MVPDs, OTT/DTC streaming services, and live-event producers. Its flagship platform, Qligent Vision, is a hybrid (cloud plus on-premise) software-defined monitoring system that performs five-layer analysis across RF/OTT distribution, IP transport, transport streams, video, and audio/metadata layers, supporting QoS, QoE, regulatory compliance (FCC, CALM Act, closed captioning), and content verification across terrestrial, cable, satellite, IPTV, and OTT delivery platforms. The modular product portfolio includes Vision Record (compliance recording), Vision Dymos (consumption-based live event monitoring), Vision Analytics and Foresight (AI/ML-driven predictive analytics and churn prevention), Match (programmatic error detection), Vision-VOD, Vision Point, and Vision-ATSC-3 (NextGen TV monitoring).
The company monetizes through a mix of subscription licenses with unlimited seats, managed service provider relationships, event-based consumption billing via Dymos, and OEM embedding through its GatesAir Maxiva StreamAssure partnership. It distributes globally through direct enterprise field sales, a network of regional channel partners and system integrators (Tecom Group, GAD Electronics, Aicox, Satcab, Telmaco, and others), and managed service providers across North America, EMEA, LATAM, and the Middle East. Named enterprise customers include Sinclair Broadcast Group (191 stations, 89 markets, 600+ channels — the largest U.S. deployment), RT (Russia Today), 1+1 Media Group (Ukraine), Encompass Digital Media, Georgia Public Broadcasting, WLVT, and Telemundo Atlanta. The company was founded by Eugene Shchemelev (now Executive Chairman) and appointed Brick Eksten, formerly of Imagine Communications and Digital Rapids, as CEO in June 2020.
