Australian media company Inverleigh has signed up Arqiva to distribute its sports content internationally, in a three-year, six-figure contract.
The communications infrastructure and media services company will use its leased satellite capacity on AsiaSat, Eutelsat and Intelsat, along with teleports, to distribute Inverleigh’s programmes in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Initially, programmes will be delivered from Inverleigh’s Melbourne base to Arqiva’s Sydney Teleport Services (Sydney PoP) via FTP, ahead of the planned full-time fibre connection.
Inverleigh has already developed 2,000 hours of sports content, including its European football league analysis show The Football Review.
“More than 260 international broadcasters already love our high value content solutions and we have no intention of stopping there. The focus for Inverleigh is to continue our international growth, and by working with an experienced partner like Arqiva we believe we can deliver a reliable, high quality programming solution to a growing broadcaster base to meet our clients’ demands,” said Peter Wraith, CEO, Inverleigh.
David Crawford, managing director of satellite & media, Arqiva, added: “This is a great milestone for our Australasian office and we are very excited to be working with one of the most progressive, and ambitious global media companies.
“In a highly competitive market it is always tricky to convince a company to switch from its long-term incumbent – ultimately we believe that it’s the confidence Inverleigh has in our ability to deliver its content that has encouraged it to do so, and it delights us to see our partners having such high faith.”
