Globecast - Channel Distribution: Terrestrial

Your content is king: it deserves the greatest reach

Satellite & Terrestrial Channel Distribution

You can reach your audience at home directly from the sky (Direct broadcast satellite, DBS / Direct-to-home, DTH) and / or deliver to any TV platform (satellite primary distribution). Our satellite uplink earth stations are all linked to our global terrestrial fiber network, making our hybrid channel delivery solutions more effective. Channel transport over the Internet brings another option to complement the former ones.

Our terrestrial coverage

What do we mean by terrestrial network?

Technically, our terrestrial network is a dual solution made of managed fiber and internet transport. Our managed fiber network links all our own satellite teleports (and some partners’ teleports too), building the perfect hybrid transport solution for your channel delivery across oceans and continents.
