Arqiva Network Extended Into Italy With TIMB

This gives Arqiva access to TIMB's nineteen national Points of Presence enabling Arqiva to deliver international TV channels onto all major TV platforms in Italy. It also offers Italian broadcasters simple TV distribution to Italian communities around the world.

Barrie Woolston, Commercial Sales Director at Arqiva, said: "Arqiva provides distribution services for hundreds of TV channels to dozens of platforms all around the world. Major international broadcasters rely on our infrastructure to ensure their content reaches their audiences. Italy is a popular market for international TV and by working with TIMB we are able to offer broadcasters robust, secure and commercially attractive access to and from Italy."

By working with Arqiva we have made it even easier for major international broadcasters to deliver their most popular TV programmes to the local market. Equally important for us is the distribution of Italian programming overseas: the agreement with Arqiva will support this important commitment."
