Aldea and BT Partner to Offer Global Media & Broadcast Services
Agreement allows both companies to extend their global reach and service offering.
Aldea Solutions Inc. and BT Media & Broadcast announced today a partnership to provide seamless Occasional Use (OU) services for global events. By combining the strength of Aldea's network and customer sites in North and South America, with BT's network and customer sites in EMEA and Asia, including the BT Tower, (one of the world's largest video switching hubs), the two companies can provide a seamless service anywhere in the world.
The partnership will ensure Aldea's and BT's respective customers benefit from a wider geographic reach, with video transport services available across the globe. As part of the agreement, Aldea and BT will combine their capabilities and networks to offer services for the transmission of events including fiber, teleport and satellite services, encoding, standards conversion, streaming and distribution.
The interconnection of our companies' complementary terrestrial networks will greatly benefit our customers requiring global solutions said Lionel Bentolila CEO of Aldea. We are very pleased to be working with BT as this is the type of alliance we were looking for to speed up our growth and strengthen our media presence around the world said Gustavo M. de la Garza, Chairman of Aldea.
BT Media and Broadcast has a long history in OU event broadcasting and the partnership with Aldea, with its strong presence in the Americas, brings not only global reach, but also a fantastic level of expertise in the delivery of OU transmissions continued James Hennah, CEO of BT Media & Broadcast.
BT's Global Media Network has PoPs and gateways in more than 20 cities worldwide, with access to a global viewing audience via a multitude of channels.
We currently have around 500 broadcasters, content distributers and DTH platforms connected to our global networks commented Mark Wilson-Dunn, VP of Global Sales and Marketing at BT Media and Broadcast.
Together with Aldea we are now able to cover any event, anytime, anywhere .
Aldea's video network reaches 13 countries including coverage of all main markets in North and South America. Aldea's network unique footprint connects directly with high capacity fiber to major broadcasters, DTH platforms and content producers in the Americas. The networks will initially interconnect in New York.
