Dejero has signed a number of new European partners as part of its strategy to provide its connectivity solutions through rental companies to support increased demand for live video and real-time data across multiple sectors. Rob Waters, director of sales for EMEA and APAC, says the pandemic has caused many organizations to re-evaluate workflows that are now looking to trial new cost-effective methods to deliver high quality video or a reliable back-up system.
