HERZLIYA, Israel — Optibase Ltd. (NASDAQ: OBAS), a leading provider of advanced digital video solutions and Leadcom Integrated Solutions Ltd. (AIM: LEAD), a leading international provider of innovative telecommunication solutions, announced today a strategic alliance to roll out integrated TV over IP services.

Furthermore, the Optibase solution provides Leadcom with an extensive offering of interactive and personalized features coupled with top video quality and low bit-rates.
