David Meynell, managing director, SIS Live, says: “We are continuing to make a significant investment in our infrastructure in France to serve French and international clients who need guaranteed, secure communications throughout the country and overseas. We continue to invest in our French operation. Our Fleet of uplinks and the new offices are facilities we are really proud of.”

Jean-Louis Cleret, European commercial director, SIS Live, says: “SIS Live has had an office in France for 11 years and this investment is part of our on-going commitment to increase our presence. We now offer high definition OB services in Paris and our new facility allows us to provide expanded services including live studio playout.”

SIS Live employs a total of 19 people in Paris and has several significant clients, including France Télévisions, which it supplies with facilities for its news operations in Paris and for the coverage of international sport events such as the 6 Nations and Tour de France, and Canal+, which it provides OB facilities to cover Champions League and Europa League football matches. SIS Live also provides ad-hoc satellite uplinking work for a number of broadcast customers. The new facility will allow the company to significantly expand its client base and the services it can provide.
