Over 17 Live Channels Delivered to Clients in the Americas and Europe

NEW YORK —  The French Open tennis tournament went live this weekend, and Genesis Networks was there to deliver every serve, volley and smash for their customers in the Americas and Europe.  Genesis Networks used its extensive special events capabilities to deliver 17 live paths across the Genesis 60-city global video fiber network.  Four of these feeds were provided in High Definition (HD) from the venue.
