PSSI Global Services, the industry leader in live event management, transmission and connectivity solutions, has partnered with Telstra, in collaboration with R&S Consulting, to expand global media network connectivity.
Through this partnership, PSSI Global Services will utilize Telstra’s robust Global Media Network (GMN) to provide expanded connectivity throughout the world, including a critical point-of-presence at PSSI International Teleport (PIT), allowing even more transmission options for PSSI Global Services customers.
“With our customer-based approach, PSSI International Teleport is becoming a major point of connection for fiber networks across the globe,” said Bill Sciolla, vice president and general manager of PIT. “This partnership with Telstra helps position us as the leading hub for live worldwide broadcast distribution as we continue to expand our satellite, fiber and IP connectivity.”

Andreas Eriksson, head of Telstra Broadcast Services, said, “Having PSSI Global Services join the Telstra Global Media Network Partner Alliance enables the delivery of high-value live sports content globally from North America into Asia Pacific, Europe and around the world through the Telstra Global Media Network. PSSI’s world-renowned event management and fleet of transmission vehicles grants Telstra further access to North American content.”
