Every Volley Served By Genesis Networks — Mon Dieu!


Genesis Networks coverage map The French Open tennis tournament went live this past weekend — Genesis Networks was there to deliver every serve, volley, and smash for their customers in the Americas and Europe. 

Genesis Networks used its extensive special events capabilities to deliver 17 live paths across the Genesis 60-city global video fiber network.  Four of these feeds were provided in HD from the venue. Beyond the HD services, Genesis Networks is able to provide return path continuity transmission back from the clients’ network and additional streaming media services.  "Many, many months go into the planning of these special events, and our clients rely on faultless delivery from this and other live sports venues around the globe" commented Mike Antonovich, President and CEO of Genesis Networks.  "I am very proud to be associated with such a dedicated team of operations and engineering professionals who understand what live television is all about." The Genesis fiber infrastructure stretches across 60 cities in 5 continents and continues to raise the bar for global coverage of international sporting events.
