 Broadcasting from China to Europe with Eutelsat and Telekom Austria |
 Eutelsat and Telekom Austria Wholesale are partnering to provide a broadcasting solution for live transmissions between Asia and Europe. Combining satellite capacity on Eutelsat's W5 with infrastructure at Telekom Austria's Aflenz teleport, the two companies will collaborate for occasional use video services for sports and events coverage, and for disaster recovery operations. “In view of the tried and tested reliability of Telekom Austria’s satellite solutions, and the ideal location of the Aflenz teleport for connectivity with Asia, this form of cooperation with Eutelsat is a logical step,” said Josef Trimmel, Head of Wholesale at Telekom Austria.
From its 70.5 degrees East location W5 enables video signals to be transmitted in one hop from key broadcasting centres in China, notably Shanghai, into the heart of Europe at the Aflenz teleport. Telekom Austria can subsequently route video signals to TV stations in Europe via a turnaround satellite service with Eutelsat or terrestrially. Eutelsat has a sales branch in Beijing to meet the specific requirements of Chinese customers, and the new service is ideally designed to provide video transport solutions during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
