SIS LIVE first for sport connectivity

One would think that it could not possibly have gone unnoticed that SIS LIVE, the UK’s fastest growing provider of media fibre connectivity with its Anylive Network, has been providing crucial connectivity for virtually every major sporting event so far this year, and it’s still only August.

However, SIS LIVE’s almost ubiquitous presence, especially on the sporting scene, does seem to have flown under the radar of a fair few, so we thought we would provide the first in a series of brief recaps to let you know that a great deal of what you watched - assuming you enjoy televised sport of some description - was brought to you by SIS LIVE and Anylive.

SIS LIVE is responsible for more than 250 hours of live broadcast content every day, covering more than 7,000 events every year. The Anylive® fibre network connects broadcasters, switching centres, channel aggregators, sporting stadiums and entertainment venues, with permanent links for more than 130 sport and entertainment venues throughout the UK and Ireland, ranging from Premier League football stadiums to TV studios - supporting video, audio, broadband, and data services - and we're growing fast.

As such, this year alone SIS LIVE has provided connectivity for major sporting events such as:

  • Joshua v Parker PPV heavyweight fight (watched by 14 million)
  • Rugby League Super League
  • Numerous FA Cup matches
  • 2018 Sky Sports Domestic and International Cricket
  • BMW PGA Championship from Wentworth (golf)
  • Six Nations Rugby (for which SIS LIVE has provided connectivity for more than a decade)
  • HSBC Golf Championships from Abu Dhabi
  • Ricoh Women’s British Open (golf)
  • Prudential Ride London 2018

  • At the Races and the Cheltenham Gold Cup from the Cheltenham Festival
  • The Midlands Grand National
  • WorldSBK Superbike Championship at Chang International Circuit, Thailand
  • Manchester Marathon
  • 2018 London Marathon
  • Badminton Horse Trials
  • Rocco Forte Open (golf)
  • Isle of Man TT (for more than 20 years)
  • Ladies British Open Amateur Championship (golf)

  • The Royal Wedding
  • Britain’s Got Talent
  • Dancing on Ice
  • 71st British Academy Film Awards
  • Pablo Picasso Exhibition from the Tate Modern
  • BBC Biggest Weekend
  • Wireless Festival LIVE from London

In addition to its Anylive fibre network (the latest Anylive-equipped venue is London’s O2) SIS LIVE has Europe’s largest fleet of hybrid satellite and fibre trucks. That, coupled with 24/7 support, enables SIS LIVE to offer the most comprehensive and reliable connectivity service in the country, which is why these partial lists are so long.

And it’s only August. There’s much more to come, including some major announcements for 2019.
