Utilisation of Telarity’s market-leading SD and HD broadcast encoders means that ABS Network’s customers can transmit the highest quality video to their viewers.

This will significantly strengthen the regional technical and sales capabilities of Telairity, which has a regional office in Amman, Jordan.
ABS works closely with medium to large broadcasters as well as smaller clients, delivering a comprehensive set of content production and delivery services equipment. Its equipment is used by regional broadcasters for live ENG/DSNG news gathering and taped broadcasts. The company has agreements with broadcasters and cablecasters in Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. The company will soon have installations in Palestine, Turkey and Washington DC.
Al Ajlouni noted: Our clients rely on us to provide them with reliable, upgradeable equipment, rugged enough to withstand the challenges of field usage across varied environments, and backed by a support team that understands how to replace systems on a 24-hour notice wherever in the world a problem occurs. Telairity fulfills those conditions, and we are pleased for them to be our ongoing supplier of encoder equipment.
