Satellite operators Eutelsat Communications have signed a three-year contract with international facilities and content service provider, The International Media Associates (TIMA) in order for them to better disseminate news in Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as broadcast from its London headquarters.
In order to do this, TIMA has acquired capacity on the EUTELSAT 10A satellite with hopes that it will enhance its ability to serve international news teams covering high-profile events such as the Oscar Pistorius trial.
Alla Salehian, CEO of TIMA commented, “Satellite is a vital platform for high quality content distribution, especially in an age of HD transmission. It’s reliable, high quality and still provides the easiest and quickest way to distribute content to a wide range of customers around the world. We’re looking forward to exciting times in collaboration with Eutelsat.’
Nick Daly, Managing Director of Eutelsat UK concluded: “We are delighted that the performance of EUTELSAT 10A matches the expectations of TIMA and to forge a new relationship with a point of reference for immediate distribution of video content for the international news broadcast industry.’
