NEW YORK and BURBANK, Calif. — Australia’s Telstra Broadcast Services (TBS) announced today it is expanding its presence in North America with the launch of a new broadcast operations centre (BOC) at the PSSI International Teleport in Pittsburgh.
Part of an expanded partnership with PSSI Global Services, the new BOC enables TBS to add North American managed services including operations, monitoring, bookings and technical services to its overall Telstra Global Media Network offerings and complements Telstra’s existing broadcast operations facilities in London, Hong Kong and Sydney, says Telstra’s press release.
“The ability to provide our North American customers with a local operational presence and 24/7 master control room capabilities will provide them a world-class experience and is key to managing their content delivery to Europe and Asia Pacific,” said Adam Day, head of enterprise, technology and broadcast sales for Telstra, in the press release. “We believe our partnership with PSSI will reap benefits for content creators and content consumers on a global scale.”
“The BOC supports live and recorded broadcast transmissions of news, sports and entertainment content, as well as digital broadcasting and IP video delivery and features a 24/7 facility with a master control room (MCR) for monitoring, bookings, trouble-shooting and delivering connections to major broadcast customers and global teleports,” reads the press release.
