Business Wire
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), the world’s leading provider of
satellite services, announced today agreements with leading media
customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Hong Kong-based TVBI Company Limited (TVBI), the worldwide
operating arm of Television Broadcasts Limited, one of the world’s
largest producers and distributors of Chinese-language programming,
recently renewed a multi-year agreement on Intelsat 19. TVBI will
use the capacity to deliver its premier content to customers in the
Asia-Pacific region.
In addition, KDDI, a Japan-based global telecommunications
company, recently signed an agreement with Intelsat to deliver
managed media services via the IntelsatOne network. With an
IntelsatOne edge node at the company’s New York City location, the
IP network will connect KDDI’s customer’s four U.S. bureaus, as
well as a European bureau, with the customer’s Tokyo headquarters
over KDDI’s fiber network, delivering multiple video, file transfer
and voice services.
The scalable network connects seamlessly with legacy services,
such as on-net video contribution for Japanese broadcasters, via
Intelsat’s owned and operated teleports and customer affiliates in
the United States.
Intelsat offers the premier video neighborhoods in Asia-Pacific,
with excellent penetration throughout the region. Media providers
continue to take advantage of Intelsat’s satellite fleet and
IntelsatOne network to reach customers in Asia, Africa, Europe and
the Middle East.
“These agreements exemplify the aggressive growth in media
distribution services across Asia-Pacific,” said Intelsat RVP of
Asia-Pacific Sales Terry Bleakley. “Major programmers in the region
continue to turn to Intelsat’s premier video neighborhoods for the
flexible delivery of unique content on multiple platforms,
reinforcing our critical role in the global infrastructure.”
