Arqiva is to sign a five-year deal to deliver direct-to-home (DTH) services to CNBC Europe. The Satellite Media Solutions division is to supply backhaul connectivity from CNBC Europes Fleet Place offices, satellite uplink and space segment. CNBC Europe goes live with the new system on 30 September.
Arqiva is a trusted provider for CNBC Europes delivery of news content DTH in the UK and also to link with various cable head-ends across Europe, says John Turner, CNBC Europes director of operations. CNBC Europe already uses the companys services for Occasional Distribution to the Sirius satellite and European VSAT networks links and I am keen to develop the relationship for as long as possible.
John Bozza, Arqivas head of broadcast sales, adds: Our precise understanding not only of CNBC Europes business requirements, but also its product offering, makes Arqiva the ideal satellite media partner.
