| GlobeCast deploys terrestrial video network for TF1 |
| Posted: October 2009 | ||||||
GlobeCast has completed the deployment of a new terrestrial video network for French broadcaster TF1 and its news channel, LCI.
The five-year contract covers the network’s build-out and operation. To win this deal, GlobeCast proposed a solution, including a massive Ethernet MAN network, used for the first time on such a scale, to respond to the urgent “on-the-spot” needs of TF1.The architecture of this network allows TF1 to establish point-to-point switched links with all 13 of its regional bureaus throughout France. GlobeCast added that the network would grow with TF1’s activity as the broadcaster adds new sites. Thanks to this broadband network, the first of its kind in France, GlobeCast said TF1 already benefits from a more reliable, flexible and cost-effective solution, compared to its old system of satellite file delivery. GlobeCast uses the Ethernet MAN and Business VPN of Orange Business Services to connect TF1’s various bureaus, and also uses the expertise of its partner Netia. Using Netia’s Nodal Master software, TF1 can remotely pilot four simultaneous incoming video feeds from its Paris headquarters with a switching grid. GlobeCast is looking to offer similar solutions to international broadcasters, building on the expertise and technology put into place for the TF1 solution.
