RTS helps Sports Cafe to show England vs. Ukraine International
Following the demise of broadcaster Setanta, the England vs. Ukraine match will be the first England international game for two decades not to be aired on TV. Instead, internet users are expected to pay a £4.99 subscription to stream the game over the internet.
The Sports Cafe, Birmingham has a reputation to uphold in delivering the best in big screen sports events from around the world. With their entire audio visual installation configured for receiving sport via broadcast media, The Sports Cafe needed to find a way to reliably stream the game to numerous screens around the venue.
RTS are providing all implementation services and will be using multiple internet providers to try and mitigate against the expected bottleneck of UK broadband (http://is.gd/48ZGK). We’ll also be on-site for the duration of the game, providing as much technical support as required to keep the feed alive and punters happy.
