SIS LIVE Completes Input Media Project

SIS LIVE has completed the installation of a 1GB fibre network for sports production company Input Media.

Input Media delivers broadcast solutions for some of the world's biggest sports federations, broadcasters and football clubs, and SIS LIVE will work with the company to deliver connectivity between Input Media, sports venues, SIS LIVE teleports and network operation centres (NOCs) in MediaCityUK and Milton Keynes via the 'Anylive' network.

In addition to providing fibre, SIS LIVE also offer SNG back-up as Europe's largest supplier of satellite uplinks. This accommodates a switch to satellite to ensure continuous live coverage, if necessary. Some venues also have microwave links installed to guarantee fully comprehensive live coverage from every game.

John Bozza, Commercial Director, SIS LIVE, said: "We are delighted to be working with Input Media to provide resilient connectivity, demanded by the world's leading broadcasters and sports federations. SIS LIVE's portfolio is expanding rapidly and we will be adding many new venues to our fibre network in the next few months. We look forward to supporting Input Media to successfully deliver its renowned live broadcasting."

Neil Oughton, Managing Director, Input Media, said: "We pride ourselves on using cutting-edge technology to deliver flexible broadcast solutions to major broadcasters, sports federations and other blue-chip clients in the UK and around the world. SIS LIVE will help us to retain our market-leading position as a sports production partner our clients can rely on."
