As Ireland’s public service broadcaster operating two television channels and four radio channels, publisher of a best-selling magazine and provider of up-to-date news, current affairs, sports and entertainment information via its media website, it’s essential for RTÉ to have high performance network capacity to source programme material for its varied media and news outlets.
The Hibernia Media network provides RTÉ with secure connectivity from major media hubs throughout Europe and the United States via its northern transAtlantic low latency route; this routing is vital to the delivery of high quality video and streaming feeds.

The added capacity also connects RTÉ’s Dublin facility securely across the Atlantic to Washington, D.C. where it connects to major United States’ news feeds.
“We are honored to be selected by RTÉ as their high bandwidth, international contribution network connectivity provider,” states Del Both of, President of Hibernia Media. “Global media production and broadcast entities demand high performance, and our diverse network backbone offers RTÉ high availability routes to source media services from Europe and the United States.
