The new platform launched by both companies will allow broadcasters across the Americas to gain access to **Globecast’s advanced media management solution designed for both linear television distribution and new media technologies,** including streaming, local ad insertion, IoT services, HEVC encoding and regionalization services. This distinctive capability will be provided from Globecast’s Culver City, CA teleport to Eutelsat’s EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite at 117° West, a prime mid-arc video neighbourhood serving the Americas from Alaska to Argentina. **A unique feature of the platform will be the ability to provide fleet protection and redundancy via the EUTELSAT 113 West A satellite**. Located just four degrees away with the same transponder plan and polarization, and combined with Eutelsat’s dual-feed CATV upgrade programme for cable operators throughout the Americas, this two-satellite solution will offer enhanced protection and restoration capabilities for programmers. ***“Eutelsat’s ambition is to craft unique and differentiated satellite service solutions, in concert with the industry’s best ground segment partners,”*** stated Mike Antonovich, CEO of Eutelsat Americas. *“Our goal with Globecast is to build a new media distribution ecosystem that combines exceptional market coverage with advanced live linear TV services in SD, HD and UHD formats, IP streaming and file-based television distribution capabilities to meet both today’s needs and anticipate tomorrow’s opportunities. By combining best-of-breed technologies, the exceptional quality and coverage of Eutelsat’s satellites, and the local market knowledge and technical expertise of partners like Globecast, we can build a rich platform of integrated, customized services to serve media companies everywhere over the Americas”.* Eddie Ferraro, Managing Director of Globecast in Americas stated, **“*****Eutelsat is a perfect partner for Globecast in expanding our service offerings to media customers throughout the Americas.** Our managed service capabilities, Eutelsat’s entrepreneurial spirit and our combined ability to attract blue chip customers will ensure the next generation of growth in the media space in this ever-changing technology environment. **We embrace working with content owners who have a view to the future.”*** [Download the Press Release](https://www.globecast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Globecast-and-Eutelsat-agreement.pdf) You may also be interested in...
