SINGAPORE – 19 May 2026 – Globecast, a leading provider of managed services for the broadcast and media industry, today announced the completion of a major renovation of its Singapore facility. This state-of-the-art transformation into a cloud-centric, IP-enabled hub positions Globecast’s customers across the Asia-Pacific region at the forefront of technological innovation, empowering broadcasters and content owners to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.
The upgrade follows the recent opening of Globecast’s Westlake Village facility in California, further strengthening the company’s global strategy to modernise its infrastructure. This initiative ensures Globecast’s operations are aligned with the growing demand for hybrid, software-defined media workflows, enabling its customers to leverage flexible, resilient, and future-ready solutions worldwide.
Originally established over a decade ago with a focus on traditional linear broadcast operations, the Singapore facility has been completely re-imagined to meet today’s cloud-centric landscape. The transformation includes a significant reduction and optimisation of physical space, complemented by a strategic shift towards integrated cloud, IP, and OTT workflows. These advancements minimise dependency on legacy hardware while enhancing operational agility and flexibility.
At the core of the upgrade is a comprehensive reconfiguration of essential technical areas, including the Technical Operations Center, Master Control Room, and Playout Control Room. These spaces have been optimised to integrate cloud-based processing, IP connectivity, as well as centralised monitoring and control systems, resulting in more efficient, flexible and scalable operations.
In addition to improving operational efficiency and scalability, the upgraded facility offers a more modern working environment for staff. It is also designed to accomodate future developments, such as increased network capacity and strengthened cybersecurity capabilities.
As a fully hybrid environment, the facility can seamlessly support both traditional broadcast services and next-generation IP and cloud workflows. It remains a key point of presence in Singapore, providing connectivity, teleport services, playout, and media management for hundreds of channels and services across the region.
“This project went beyond simply upgrading infrastructure, said Chris Pulis, CTO of Globecast. “It was a complete redefinition of a modern broadcast facility. By integrating cloud, IP, and advanced monitoring capabilities into a unified environment, we have am operations base in Asia that is more efficient, adaptable, and prepared to support the next generation of media services across the region. It also represents a significant step forward with our broader strategic plan of transforming our operations worldwide.”
The project was largely executed through Globecast’s in-house integration expertise, with its engineering teams overseeing the design, migration, and implementation processes. This approach highlights the company’s ability to serve not only as a service provider but also as a systems integrator, guiding customers through complex technology transitions with confidence.
A central focus throughout the nine-month transformation was ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. Globecast successfully completed the upgrade while maintaining full operational continuity, providing seamless support for customers without any service disruption.
“The Singapore upgrade marks a significant milestone for Globecast in the Asia-Pacific region and reflects how we are evolving our operations to meet the demands of today’s dynamic media landscape,” said Biliana Pumpalovic, Managing Director of Globecast Asia. “We have transformed the facility into a more agile, cloud-centric environment that supports both legacy and next-generation workflows. Most importantly, we accomplished all of this while maintaining 24/7 services for our customers, which speaks to the expertise and dedication of our teams.”
Globecast will welcome customers and partners to the upgraded Singapore facility on May 19, ahead of BroadcastAsia, providing an exclusive opportunity to tour the site and experience the new capabilities firsthand.
