Globecomm Systems completed its satellite uplink hub for Televisa at its Mexico City broadcast center, Globecomm announced.
    The hub was designed by Globecomm under a contract signed in early 2010 to support Sky’s DTH programming over Mexico via seven SD and three HD video carriers on 9-meter and 11-meter antennas, with the capability to switch to a backup 9-meter antenna in the event of terminal failure or maintenance. The hub also includes capacity built into the Televisa system for future carriers.
    "Globecomm has long experience serving Televisa and other prominent media companies in Latin America. This new infrastructure provides that cost-effective reliability that broadcasters demand. With this project, we have increased the level of reliability in our DTH system operation," Globecomm said in a statement.
