PITTSBURGH—NEP has closed on its acquisition of the assets of MIRA Mobile Television, and will begin to integrate them into their US Mobile Units operation, the company announced this week. The completion of this deal expands NEP’s fleet of mobile units to more than 80 HD trucks worldwide. NEP announced the deal last month.
