The 117th IOC Session is also the Session where the election of the host city for the 2012 Games will be announced to the world. With the bid to host the 2012 Games keenly contested by London, Madrid, Moscow, New York and Paris, and backed by many superstars of the sporting world, the announcement of the winning city will be closely watched by billions of people all over the world.

As the Official Host Broadcaster for the 117th IOC Session, ST Teleport will be responsible for the transmission of 'live' video feeds of the Session proceedings to broadcasters and news agencies in every part of the world. ST Teleport will set up a dedicated, fully equipped Master Control Centre and Booking Centre, capable of handling high traffic volumes, for the IOC feed distribution in the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) at Raffles Convention Centre. 'Live' camera feed and tape play-out signals will be routed to the Master Control Centre for onward transmission to broadcasters and news agencies worldwide.

"We are very excited by this appointment as ST Teleport will be playing a crucial role in delivering the closely-watched results of the winning city for the 2012 Olympic Games live to audience around the world," said Wee Way Kiat, ST Teleport's managing director.

In addition to the world feed distribution from the IBC, ST Teleport will also set up Satellite News Gathering (SNG) stations in various vantage on-locations to provide periphery ad-hoc broadcast services. Video signals will be transmitted to the five bidding cities and other locations via satellite and fibre networks. A team of engineers and booking staff will be stationed round-the-clock on-site in the IBC at Raffles Convention Centre and in ST Teleport's facility in Ayer Rajah Crescent.
