TIMA takes capacity from Eutelsat

Facilities and content service provider The International Media Associates (TIMA) has signed a three-year contract with satellite operator Eutelsat for capacity on the Eutelsat 10A satellite to serve the market for satellite news gathering across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and reporting from the studios of its central London Headquarters.

The new satellite capacity will boost TIMA’s ability to serve news teams covering events in the coming months including the Oscar Pistorius trial and the visit to the Holy Land by Pope Francis.

“Satellite is a vital platform for high quality content distribution, especially in an age of HD transmission. It’s reliable, high quality and still provides the easiest and quickest way to distribute content to a wide range of customers around the world. We’re looking forward to exciting times in collaboration with Eutelsat,” said Alla Salehian, CEO of TIMA.
