Globecast and Gravity Media join forces to provide production and connectivity services for the Qatar World Cup

The main football event of 2022 will be brought to global audiences with a range of production and connectivity services provided by Globecast y Gravity Media.

Gravity Media will provide a series of technical facilities on site: from jobs to complete temporary studios so that broadcasters from all over the world can use them. This infrastructure will be supported by fiber and satellite connectivity from Globecast, as well as public Internet access if desired. Gravity Media will also provide post-production services to broadcasters.

Ed Carpenter, general director of Gravity Media in EMEA, believes that this partnership “is about making life better and easier for customers.” "By working with Globecast, we can provide clients with a unique, tightly integrated offering that we can tailor to each client's needs. We can also offer remote production, with clients able to use our production facilities in London, San Francisco and Sydney, again supported by Globecast connectivity. We also have offices in Qatar since 2007, so we know the country very well," he adds.

On the other hand, James Whittaker, director of business development at Globecast, explains the collaboration with Gravity Media: "This is a powerful partnership that will provide top-quality end-to-end services to clients at what is one of the world's largest supporting events. Broadcasters not only need our combined technical capabilities, but they also need top-notch signal reliability wherever they are. In addition to this connectivity, with this partnership we are also focusing on our customer focus."
