Telstra Broadcast Services (TBS) and BT entered into an initial five-year strategic alliance to bring together each company’s global media network teams, pooling their vast network infrastructure and localised expertise.
The deal will increase TBS’ global footprint by 50% and expand its customer-base to more than 170 broadcast and media organisations worldwide.
As part of the deal, customers will have access to a product offering headed up by Telstra, including key Asia-Pacific regions with India, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, and other countries. This will be supported by an increased local team in APAC and access to the broader suite of TBS products and services, including field services, special events teams, and broadcast operations centers in Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong, London, and Pittsburgh.
“Our priority at TBS is to offer a world-class global content delivery service for our customers, including the largest distribution network with the most flexibility and options for organisations to connect to the world,” said Karen Clark, Head of APAC at Telstra Broadcast Services.
