SES has revealed details of a new content deal in Latin America. It is partnering with Quanta, that will see the two companies interconnect their content delivery networks for sports and events customers operating in Latin America. SES announced details of the partnership Aug. 10.
Quanta’s newly-inaugurated teleport in São Paolo has been interconnected with SES’s hybrid distribution network and media centers to allow for simplified content delivery services to global and Latin American takers via satellite, IP and fiber networks. Sports and events customers will also be able to leverage post-production capabilities at Quanta’s facilities, including commentary recording, graphics and advertisement.

“We are excited to partner with one of the global distribution leaders in live sports and events. This agreement gives us the ability to leverage SES’s robust hybrid network to distribute live sports matches and tournaments for our customers globally and in Latin America, marking the next step in complementing our service infrastructure offering,” Laudson Diniz, Business Development and Production Manager at Quanta, said in a statement.

It was a busy day for SES. It also announced Aug. 10 that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has validated the certification of SES’s Phase II accelerated C-band clearing and relocation activities. With this milestone, and following the successful completion of its Phase 1 activities in 2021, SES has now fulfilled its commitment to the FCC’s programme to clear a portion of the C-band to allow the rapid rollout of 5G services across the United States.
