The production staff of Sky Sports travel all over the world to broadcast sports events. For Sky Sports, direct and secure internet connectivity whenever and wherever they're working is mission critical. They simply must have reliable well-functioning connections to the internet. Ian Brash, Technical Manager at Sky Sports adds: "Through We.Stream, we will have secure, cost effective data access in over 00 countries for the first time. Our partners can be assured that any confidential information they share with us is in safe hands and is received instantly. No more waiting for crews to return to their hotel or visit a coffee shop to pick up their messages."



Joachim de Wild, Co-CEO of We.Stream says: "I am so proud to welcome Sky Sports to a pilot of We.Stream. Sky Sports understands the communications problems people face when they travel the world on a regular basis. Because of high data roaming charges, many corporations still let their employees use public WiFi, which comes with security risks. Sky Sports identified these related cybersecurity risks, and for that reason is keen to start using the innovative solution that We.Stream offers."

At the first day of the CES, We.Stream signed a distributor agreement with Frontier Computer Corp, North America's largest stocking distributor of connectivity solutions. We.Stream has also won numerous technology awards during CES, including the CES Innovation Award in the Mobile Computing category, the Tech Award of most eye-catching product of CES 2018 and the PC Pro 'Best of CES 2018' award.
