Amsterdam, 12 September 2005 - GlobeCast is delighted to have won a Product of the Year Award
at the Cable & Satellite International awards ceremony held at IBC last night.
The satellite service provider was handed the award for WING Content Exchange which was named
Product of the Year in the category for Best Outside Broadcast Technology or Service
GlobeCast’s WING Content Exchange beat the BBC Outside Broadcast’s Postcam and SISLink’s
uPod to win the award.
GlobeCast’s WING delivery system is an IP-based video exchange platform. It works in a very similar
way to email and instant messaging, allowing a field journalist to send a video file simultaneously to
many recipients over the internet, unlike most FTP-based Store & Forward solutions which are limited
to point to point delivery. It can also be used to stream live footage and, because it runs through a
main server (based in Paris), it is able to convert incoming signals on the fly to match each recipient’s
requested format, whether that is a Word document or HD video file.
GlobeCast senior vice president marketing and product development David Justin said: ‘It is a
fantastic endorsement of WING to have won a Cable & Satellite Product of the Year award – and only
six months after launching the product. We are very grateful to the judges who have clearly seen the
potential of this unique product.
