Milton Keynes, UK – One would think that it could not possibly have gone unnoticed that SIS LIVE, the UK’s fastest growing provider of media fibre connectivity with its Anylive Network, has been providing crucial connectivity for virtually every major sporting event so far this year, and it’s still only August.
However, SIS LIVE’s almost ubiquitous presence, especially on the sporting scene, does seem to have flown under the radar of a fair few, so we thought we would provide the first in a series of brief recaps to let you know that a great deal of what you watched - assuming you enjoy televised sport of some description - was brought to you by SIS LIVE and Anylive.
SIS LIVE is responsible for more than 250 hours of live broadcast content every day, covering more than 7,000 events every year. The Anylive® fibre network connects broadcasters, switching centres, channel aggregators, sporting stadiums and entertainment venues, with permanent links for more than 130 sport and entertainment venues throughout the UK and Ireland, ranging from Premier League football stadiums to TV studios - supporting video, audio, broadband, and data services - and we're growing fast.
