TTK wins Eurovision contract

Russian network provider TTK has been awarded a contract by Eurovision to transmit the HDTV signal for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver from central Europe into and throughout the Russian Federation.  

TTK, owned by the Russian railways and with a network running alongside the rail network, will be responsible for delivering HD-quality live signals from the Eurovision’s points of presence in Frankfurt and Helsinki to Moscow.  The project will involve the provisioning of new STM-1 and STM-4 capacity leased lines between these locations.
