Managing director of SIS LIVE David Meynell, commented: "We are continuing to make a significant investment in our infrastructure in France to serve French and international clients who need guaranteed, secure communications throughout the country and overseas.
"We continue to invest in our French operation. Our Fleet of uplinks and the new offices are facilities we are really proud of."
European commercial director of SIS LIVE Jean-Louis Cleret, stated: "SIS LIVE has had an office in France for 11 years and this investment is part of our on-going commitment to increase our presence.
"We now offer High Definition OB services in Paris and our new facility allows us to provide expanded services including live studio play-out."
