[Satellite TODAY 06-20-13] Intelsat announced agreements with media customers in the Asia-Pacific region including Hong Kong-based TVBI, the worldwide operating arm of Television Broadcasts Limited, one of the world’s largest producers and distributors of Chinese-language programming. TVBI recently renewed a multi-year agreement with Intelsat 19 to deliver its premier content to customers in the Asia-Pacific region.

 

      In addition, KDDI, a Japan-based global telecommunications company, recently signed an agreement with Intelsat to deliver managed media services via the IntelsatOne network. With an IntelsatOne edge node at the company’s New York City location, the IP network will connect KDDI’s customer’s four U.S. bureaus, as well as a European bureau, with the customer’s Tokyo headquarters over KDDI’s fiber network, delivering multiple video, file transfer and voice services.

 

      The scalable network connects with legacy services, such as on-net video contribution for Japanese broadcasters, via Intelsat’s owned and operated teleports and customer affiliates in the United States.
