Globecast is a French company providing services for the radio, television and media industry. It delivers television channels from their origins to their audience (distribution) and brings live video feeds from events’ venues (stadiums, studios, satellite news gathering trucks...) to television broadcasters (contribution).
These services are feeding various television and radio platforms: direct-broadcast satellite (DBS), digital terrestrial television (DTT), cable TV, IPTV, TV for internet connected screens (OTT TV), digital signage networks, cinema theaters (DCP and live events delivery). Globecast serves the top 100 television broadcasters in the world.
Globecast has an established presence in Europe (Paris, London, Rome), America (Westlake Village, CA), Asia (Singapore), Africa (Johannesburg) and Middle-East (Beirut), through nineteen points of presence, among them twelve satellite telecommunication teleports and technical operation centers, all of them linked via an international terrestrial telecommunication network.
The company is fully owned by Orange. It is currently led by Philippe Bernard (previous CEO was Olivier Barberot; and before him Christian Pinon, Alain Baget, Michel Combes).
In 2013, Globecast changed its visual identity (logo) and its name lost the uppercase C (former writing was GlobeCast).
