Giza, Egypt Live from the pyramids.

The CIB Egyptian Squash Open puts a glass court in the desert, in front of the Pyramids of Giza. It’s one of the most spectacular settings in sport, and one of the most challenging places we’ve broadcast from.

On site, OBE encoders sent the tour’s world feed out over the venue’s internet, with a Peplink 5G connection as backup. Two streams, one over SRT and one as an FEC-protected transport stream, were aligned in Subset’s gateway, so it could fail over between them automatically.

From the gateway we delivered the feed to SQUASHTV’s channels and to third-party broadcasters around the world, and made it available on BT Media & Broadcast for other takers to pick up.

It’s the same network that carries the tour’s events across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the US, built to keep a world feed on air wherever the tour goes.
