4 January 2022

CTM has selected Asia’s premier satellite solutions provider, Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited (AsiaSat) and its subsidiary One Click Go Live (OCGL, formerly known as HERMES Live Technology Limited) to provide a satellite and IP-based total solution that will support CTM’s initiative in creating a ‘Digital Macau’, one of the world’s leading smart cities.

The complete, end-to-end solution comprises AsiaSat’s global satellite contribution and distribution services and a terrestrial IP distribution to viewers’ devices through OCGL’s live streaming platform.

In a recent effort to bring live coverage of sports and events to global audiences, AsiaSat, CTM and OCGL have worked together to distribute live telecast and live streaming of the 68th Macau Grand Prix, ingested with commentary in real-time to achieve a macro and micro market coverage through low-latency live streaming on the event’s digital platform and social media channel to audiences anywhere, any device.

“CTM is pleased to have cooperated with AsiaSat to set up a live streaming platform to deliver the Macau Grand Prix car race event to audiences worldwide. CTM is committed to providing a communications infrastructure that responds to the explosive demand for communications and entertainment needs of Macau’s tourist industry. This collaboration will mark a step forward for CTM in ushering the ‘Digital Macau’ and further fulfilling customers’ needs for high quality live streaming services,” said Eunice Cheang, Vice President of Strategic Programs of CTM.

“We are delighted that CTM has selected AsiaSat and our subsidiary One Click Go Live for delivering the live coverage of this world famous motorsport event. This was a perfect occasion to demonstrate our capabilities in providing customised, total video transmission solution – from satellite-based contribution and distribution service through terrestrial IP connectivity and other value-added services provided by One Click Go Live for live streaming to a global audience anywhere and on any device. We look forward to more collaboration in the year ahead while we set the new trend of distribution solution for our customers,” said Ina Lui, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Business Development & Strategy of AsiaSat.

“OCGL is excited to work with AsiaSat and support CTM in the global distribution of this prestigious motor racing event, and provide live streaming to audiences in more than 130 countries and regions.  This collaboration has truly demonstrated our synergies and we are proud to integrate our solutions that enable AsiaSat to deliver a complete, end-to-end media solution offering to global customers,” said Samuel Yip, General Manager of One Click Go Live Limited.
