[Via Satellite 08-05-2016] SIS Live has installed a 1GB fiber network for Input Media, supporting the sports production company’s broadcast requirements with access to its expanding “Anylive” fiber infrastructure and satellite services.

Input Media delivers flexible broadcast solutions for some of the world’s biggest sports federations, broadcasters and football clubs. SIS Live will work with Input Media to deliver connectivity between Input Media, sports venues, SIS Live teleports and Network Operation Centers (NOCs) in MediaCityUK and Milton Keynes via the Anylive network.

In addition to providing fiber, SIS Live also offers Satellite News-Gathering (SNG) back-up as Europe’s largest supplier of satellite uplinks. This accommodates a switch to satellite if necessary to ensure continuous live coverage. Some venues also have microwave links installed to guarantee fully comprehensive live coverage from every game.

“SIS Live’s portfolio is expanding rapidly and we will be adding many new venues to our fiber network in the next few months,” said John Bozza, commercial director, SIS Live.
