SISLink has signed a new contract with Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) for a total of 4,000 hours of capacity in average 9 MHz slots on a range of Eutelsat satellites until June 1. 2009. This new contract, which continues an almost 20-year relationship between the two companies, equips SISLink to meet growing requirements from agencies and broadcasting organizations to provide TV coverage of sports and news events. The 4,000-hours of capacity will be made available on request to SISLink on a real-time basis via a range of Eutelsat satellites providing reach across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and central Asia. Uplinks in SD or HD will be delivered back to SISLinks’ teleports in the U.K. SISLink has also renewed its contract for four Ku-band transponders on the Telecom-2D satellite commercialised by Eutelsat. SISLink has a fleet of more than 100 uplinks developed, enhanced, and maintained in the U.K., France, Ireland, and Italy for immediate deployment in the field. SNG vehicles provide all-in-one editing and uplinking facilities, multi-camera facility and professional audio mixing functions. The company is also expanding its fleet of HD uplink trucks and fully-equipped flight-cases designed for integration, compression and monitoring of HD services.
