transmission. It’s reliable, high quality and
still provides the easiest and quickest way to
distribute content to a wide range of customers
around the world. We're looking forward to
exciting times in collaboration with Eutelsat,”
said Alla Salehian, CEO of TIMA.
“We are delighted that the performance of
