Serving the media industry

No more compression and teeny tiny charges for capacity…

Today, the business landscape for all media companies has transformed as consumers increasingly look to new media formats for their news, research and entertainment.

In the broadcast sector, new technology rollouts such as high definition (HD) television, IPTV and video-on-demand are well underway. This, together with industry-led network consolidation from Content Distribution Networks, has created a critical business need for virtually limitless bandwidth.

Production and Post Production are also gearing up for HD television and require much bigger broadband for file transfers, as are service providers who are seeing an increase in the overall bandwidth needed by their customers.

What our clients say

Selecting Geo was a straight forward choice as its dedicated fibre proposition means that we have a virtually unlimited reserve of bandwidth that we can scale up as and when our business dictates.

A better way to move content from A to B?

Until now, broadcasters have had to use encoders to compress content into network pipes that meet their budget. Similarly in production, cost has dictated that content has travelled via tape, disc and hard-drive backups.

If you’ve ever battled with compression or physical media, you’ve probably been wondering if there’s a better way to move your content from A to B.

Well now there is.

Fibre networks for today’s media industry

Geo understands the issues of the modern media industry. We deliver high-speed fibre optic networks across London using the existing sewer system. This ingenious approach brings robust, secure, high-performance, low-cost data connections to your business.

Teeny charges for capacity

Geo does not charge for bandwidth in the classic telco model; we lease you a pair of dark fibres to use with as little or as much traffic as you wish, which means you can start with one uncompressed HD today and grow to 100 HDs tomorrow, and the Geo price for the fibre remains the same.

The Geo price for fibre also remains the same whether you want to use 1 Gigabit Ethernet or 100 × 10 Gigabit Ethernet all down the same fibre pair. Our clients each have their own dedicated network, giving them blazingly-fast performance, massive, expandable bandwidth and the peace of mind that this exclusivity brings.

Our optical fibre networks deliver your uncompressed content without compromise: no encoding delays; less maintenance and overall a simpler end-to-end solution.

What our clients say

A robust network that eliminated single points of failure and reduced our business risk to its lowest possible level was critical to us. Geo’s fibre follows unique paths away from standard routes which guarantees diversity.
