Nokeena Networks renames itself Ankeena Networks
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Nokeena Networks, a company that serves online video content at large scales and television quality, has changed its name to Ankeena Networks to avoid a trademark dispute, reports the San Jose Business Journal. No other details were provided except that the new name is the Hindi word for “eyes” — symbolic of the sights it gives its customer base, the company says.
The company has raised $15.2 million to date from Clearstone Venture Partners, Trinity Ventures and Mayfield Fund.
