Rugby, UK, March 11, 2022--Three years ago I had the privilege of visiting an exceptional teleport in the English countryside, a teleport with state-of-the-art facilities laid out in beautiful, well-landscaped gardens and bucolic surroundings.  This teleport located in Rugby, England and operated by Satellite Mediaport Services (SMS) was featured in this magazine's May 2019 issue ("A Beautiful Setting for a State-of-the-Art Teleport").  A lot has happened over those three years - not the least of which is the global COVID-19 pandemic that catalyzed a satellite industry already seized in the grips of profound transformation.  So we thought to revisit and check up on this teleport located in its pastoral retreat for a live update.

While its launch is planned for Spring of 2022, a demonstration is now available for interested clients. The service will enable pay-TV operators, Internet service providers (ISPs) and regional content companies to offer their clients a high-quality multiscreen entertainment service that is distributed through the Internet without having to roll out their own infrastructure.
