The contract will include all BBC International’s partners based at the Stratford Broadcast Tower, the BBC’s 22 storey building which overlooks the Olympic Stadium, the Aquatics Centre and the Orbit Tower.
“We have been negotiating this unique opportunity for a long time and are therefore delighted to announce that Pinnacle will provide data, voice and connectivity services for the BBC and its worldwide international broadcasting partners at the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Alan Bonner, CEO of Pinnacle Telecom.
The agreement means Pinnacle will supply the fibre connections; microwave back-up links and analogue and ISDN connectivity.
