After an endorsement that the global media solutions provider says will provide essential customer confidence, Globecast has announced that it has received security assessment from Trusted Partner Network (TPN) across its complete Asian, UK and French operations.
TPN is a joint venture between two major entertainment industry associations, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA), the worldwide leaders in third-party entertainment industry assessments. The TPN establishes a single benchmark of minimum security preparedness for all vendors and their teams, wherever they work, and whatever their specialty. By creating a single, global directory of “trusted partner” vendors, the association says content companies will have access to a centralised database to learn their TPN status.

In deals the satellite operator says reinforces its position as the leading provider in delivering content, and brings some welcome relief for its challenged video business, SES has revealed multi-year capacity agreements totalling over €66 million in backlog with multiple public broadcasters in Europe throughout 2020.
The public broadcasters who have signed contracts directly with SES – using at the prime orbital slots of 19.2 degrees East and 28.2 degrees East to reach more than 89 million satellite TV homes - include ARD and ZDF in Germany, BBC in the UK, BVN in the Netherlands, as well as TV5Monde and France 24 from France via its partner Globecast.
