Globecast to distribute Malaga Premier Padel

Globecast supports Premier Padel with its IP and cloud distribution.

These cutting-edge solutions helped faciliate Malaga Premier Padel P1 coverage of one of this fastest growing sports in the world.

Steve MacMurray, digital media development manager contribution at Globecast, details the collaboration with Premier Padel. “Originally we were supplying them with a more traditional, wide beam European satellite and downlink model, which was then passed on to terrestrial fibre for their takers,” he says. “That was a very robust and reliable solution, but as with a lot of racket sports you have to overbook to ensure you get the capacity you need. Games can be wrapped up really quickly or go on for hours, so it does pose a bit of a headache in terms of provisioning capacity, especially during the traditional pinch-points on Saturday and Sunday when all of the other sports are in the mix.”
