Bruno Coudyzer from Belgium will be responsible for business development, from France, Rudy Dendleux will be the technical director, and Chris Brandrick, known from Broadcast RF, will become the unit’s commercial director.

Shaun Gregory, Group CEO of EMG, said: “EMG brings the world’s biggest events to billions of viewers through our connectivity services. EMG Connectivity is the best of both worlds: by creating one brand but maintaining the individual customer service of the three companies we are able to offer clients greater clarity and access to the strength and knowledge of the EMG Group. The combination enables better and faster focusing on developing a new range of products and services, and in addition entering new markets.”
Gallais added: “Working wirelessly is a given in almost every outside broadcast production and is seamlessly integrated into our workflows. By joining forces, EMG Connectivity offers our customers all our expertise and a tailored service with greater efficiency benefits. We’re looking forward to working with our existing clients and new clients on their next project.”
