ATLANTA, GA and BUFFALO, N.Y. – Synacor (NASDAQ: SYNC) today announced its Advanced Cloud ID identity management and authentication platform has been selected by ETI Software Solutions as its reference platform to support streaming media deployments for all its telecom, cable and broadband operators. The Georgia-based software developer and systems integrator develops service assurance, provisioning and monetization solutions for operators across the globe, including Frontier Communications, Windstream and Cincinnati Bell.
