SIS Live provides global connectivity services that deliver content to millions of viewers worldwide.

Its clients include BBC, ITV, ITN, Sky Sports, SIS, ARC, TRP and Tata.

SIS Live’s fate is a salutary lesson. It became a major player in the UK after acquiring the BBC’s OB division in 2008 and securing the bulk of BBC contracts along with it. But after losing out when the tender was renewed in 2013 it was forced to sell off assets including 14 OB trucks
