Aldea has previously announced that it will be the dominant network provider of the games of the 2010 World Cup to broadcasters throughout Latin America. Our clients will benefit from a dedicated bi-directional video and data transport solution, which will enable live HD and SD broadcasts between temporary studios in Johannesburg and Cape Town and their home studios.
To ensure that our clients receive the best service and experience throughout this unique global event, we are putting in place diverse fiber routes out of South Africa, the latest high quality transport and encoding platforms, an experienced 7x24 technical support team in South Africa, as well as a dedicated operations team at our headquarters in Montreal, Canada.
We have also taken steps to address any needs for additional coverage during the event. For example, to showcase the color and spirit of the World Cup for an international audience, Aldea has partnered with specialized production companies offering studio and live stand-up positions from key locations in South Africa.
The FIFA World Cup 2010 takes place from June 11 to July 11 in South Africa.
