We.Stream and Sky Sports have agreed to a pilot of the company’s secure mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.
Sky Sports’ production staff are travelling across the world to broadcast sports events and as such they need a reliable internet connection on arrival.
“Through We.Stream, we will have secure, cost effective data access in over 100 countries for the first time. Our partners can be assured that any confidential information they share with us is in safe hands and is received instantly,” said Ian Brash, technical manager, Sky Sports. “No more waiting for crews to return to their hotel or visit a coffee shop to pick up their messages.”
“Because of high data roaming charges, many corporations still let their employees use public WiFi, which comes with security risks,” added Joachim de Wild, Co-CEO of We.Stream. “Sky Sports identified these related cybersecurity risks, and for that reason is keen to start using the innovative solution that We.Stream offers.”
We.Stream has been picking up awards at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It won the CES Innovation Award in the Mobile Computing category, the Tech Award of most eye-catching product of CES 2018 and the PC Pro ‘Best of CES 2018’ award.
