Under the deal the two companies’ production services and transmission networks will be combined to extend their global reach.
“Partnering with MTI Teleport is an important step in our international expansion strategy. It will enable us to help our customers continue to meet the growing global demand for live sports and event coverage, from any location,” says Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Switch.
