The Switch Teams Up With Eutelsat

The Switch® has teamed up with Eutelsat to provide a new, independent offering delivering an unparalleled satellite and fiber video contribution network.

The partnership will provide The Switch's user community of over 800 of the world's leading content producers and distributors the ability to transmit feeds on a minute-by-minute basis to and from large parts of the globe.

Simultaneously, broadcasters and content producers within Eutelsat's satellite footprint will now gain access to The Switch's extensive global fiber network, including 53 physical points-of-presence, as well as connections to U.S. tech leaders, major global broadcasters and more than 180 sports organizations, venues and rights holders.

The partnership leverages the resources of three Eutelsat satellites covering Europe, Africa and the Americas, and satellites to be added in the future to extend the reach of the solution, with The Switch's global video transport network.

Transport to and from each region can be scheduled by customers via SwitchIT™, The Switch's patented award-winning customer-control software platform. As a result of integrating The Switch and Eutelsat systems, customers can deliver their content faster, more smoothly and to more regions around the globe.
