China Telecom Global(CTG), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Telecom this week announced its new video partnership with Tata Communications to expand its media content management and transmission from and to China and the rest of the world. Leveraging Tata Communications’ Global Video Network and its recently launched Media Ecosystem, CTG aims to combine traditional video contribution services with IP-‐based connectivity and enables seamless management of content as a cloud-‐based managed service and supports global media distribution requirements, OTT and mobility applications. This platform is designed to provide customers with flexibility and intelligence allowing customers to experiment with new formats and launch new services and channels at the touch of a button.
The partnership is marked by a recent successful delivery of the 2015 World Figure Skating Championship from Shanghai to Japan, in which China Telecom Global provided TV signal pick-up, national transmission and international connection by leveraging Tata Communications’ Global Video Network.
