NEW YORK — Jan, 2008 — Genesis Networks, a provider of next-generation global video transmission services, has continued its international growth by establishing a strategic POP in Singapore and by forging its first strategic partnership in the region, with Singapore-based ST Teleport. By adding Singapore to its extensive global network, Genesis Networks will be able to capitalize on the strong infrastructure and ideal geographical positioning that the country provides for the transport of full-time and ad hoc television transmissions. The new Singapore POP positions Genesis Networks as a vital resource for broadcasters worldwide to reach new audiences in Asia, as well as Asian broadcasters seeking to deliver ethnic programming to expatriate audiences in North America and other parts of the world. The Genesis satellite infrastructure is available on a permanent, full-time basis, or as an occasional-use network for broadcasting sports and other shortterm events. "Our low-cost backhaul services are a vital resource for smaller, regional channels, but that focus is beginning to broaden as high-definition broadcasting continues to emerge throughout Asia," said Paul Dujardin, president and CEO of Genesis Networks. "Now, major global players are developing strategies for delivering HD content to Asia, and they're looking to Genesis Networks to provide the infrastructure.” As a new member of Genesis Networks' global video-over-IP fibre network, ST Teleport can now provide seamless and reliable access to broadcast hubs and media POPs in North and South America, Europe, and other key Asian markets. Likewise, connecting to ST Teleport provides Genesis with the necessary satellite-based infrastructure to support the growing demand in the region for its inbound and outbound broadcast delivery. "ST Teleport is pleased to be selected by Genesis as its strategic partner in Asia. This partnership is a strong affirmation of our commitment to provide seamless and reliable transmission services globally," said Philip Koh, managing director of ST Teleport. "The complementary strengths of both companies will bring mutual advancement to our respective businesses and offer a stronger value proposition to our customers.” "Singapore is the hot center of satellite communications in that region, and ST Teleport has the ability to readily access the satellites that are critical to our customers' businesses,” said Dujardin.
