RRsat will provide all broadcast services to and from Asia for EBU Network, establishing bi-directional fiber connectivity between RRsat’s teleport in Israel and EBU Network’s Geneva, Switzerland headquarters. RRsat will also be in charge of EBU Networks’ occasional use of satellite-to-satellite transmissions and traffic monitoring using EBU capacity on three different satellites.

"We have selected RRsat after carefully evaluating all their capabilities, including their teleport services, fiber network, master control room (MCR), engineering team and coordination/booking skill,” EBU Network Head Of Procurement Paolo Pusterla said in a statement. “Our recent visit to RRsat’s new state of the art teleport in Israel, established our confidence that we have a partner that can address our needs for the long term."
