Arabsat launches new global content delivery platform

Higher compatibility will enable broadcasters to overcome traditional barriers.

Arab Satellite Communications Organization (Arabsat), has launched a new platform to make it easier for TV channels to share their content across the world.

The new Contribution Platform is compatible with all video formats and networks, meaning that TV channels and groups of channels can use it to broadcast from their studios to anywhere in the world.

In a statement, the Riyadh-based satellite services provider said the newly launched platform is poised to “revolutionise the broadcasting landscape” thanks to its greater compatibility, which enables “stakeholders to overcome traditional barriers and bring their content to global audiences seamlessly.”

Al-Hamedi Al-Anezi, CEO of Arabsat, said: “The launch of the new service is in line with our steadfast commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to our customers.”

The company also announced two new partnerships with American cloud-based workflow solutions provider TVU Networks, and Zixi, a company that focuses on live broadcast-quality video delivery over IP networks.

Through these partnerships, Arabsat aims to provide its customers with a “seamless and high-quality content distribution experience” while enabling them to “improve the features of our platform.”
