Eutelsat Communications, listed on Euronext Paris and the London Stock Exchange (ETL), is pleased to announce the renewal and expansion of its partnership with PSSI Global Services, a renowned leader in broadcast transmission solutions for major live sports events. This agreement centers around capacity on Eutelsat's EUTELSAT 113 West A satellite.

With over four decades of experience in the field, PSSI Global Services is a key player in the coordination, production, and distribution of domestic and international events. Their services include seamless end-to-end solutions, bolstered by the Pittsburg Teleport Gateway and a fleet of more than 30 C-band and Ku-band satellite uplink production trucks. PSSI specializes in the transmission of high-value sports content to broadcast rights holders and has an impressive clientele, including prominent North American sports entities such as MMA, UFC, NFL, NHL, NBC Sports, PGA, FOX Sports, and CBS Sports.

Rob Lamb, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of PSSI Global Services, expressed his satisfaction with the ongoing partnership, stating, "It has been our pleasure over the years to work closely with the Eutelsat team to provide transmission services for our broadcast and special event customers worldwide. The combination of the Eutelsat satellite transponder bandwidth along with the PSSI International Teleport (PIT) and Eutelsat Iztapalapa Teleport for satellite access control, reception, and connectivity services has been a homerun for PSSI and our clientele."

José Ignacio González-Núñez, Eutelsat Group Senior Regional VP, Media Sales Americas, also expressed his enthusiasm about the extended collaboration: "We are delighted to further our relationship with PSSI Global in the delivery of Live premium Sports content and to support the expansion of the broadcaster ecosystem across North America. Professional video is an important market for Eutelsat Group, and we ensure that our clients have the best services and capacity for their long-term needs. This collaboration pinpoints once again the vital role of satellite in the media supply chain for professional video, specifically major Live sporting events where prime quality is an absolute must."
