2019 Pan American Games Chooses Aldea Solutions for Connectivity Services Between Venues

Aldea Solutions will be providing high-quality video solutions for the upcoming Pan American Games. For the 2019 Lima Pan American and Parapan American Games, Aldea will provide turn-key contribution services connecting the various venues of the event to the International Broadcast Center (IBC) in Lima, Peru.

The 2019 Pan American Games, which will run between July 26 and August 11, will see close to 7,000 athletes participate from a total of 41 nations across the American continent. A total of 424 events in 39 sports are scheduled to take place during the 2019 Lima Pan American Games, which is the largest number of medal events ever held at a single edition of the Games, and will have a potential global television audience of 400 million people.

Aldea has been selected by Telefonica to provide and operate the end-to-end video contribution platform connecting all the venues to the IBC. For this event, Aldea will deploy NetInsight video technology that will run on Telefonica’s high capacity fiber optic network, connecting the 17 venues in Lima to the IBC. Aldea will manage over 150 video and data services for a total of over 45 Gigabits of bandwidth. The services, including a combination of HD uncompressed and JPEG2000 compressed video
circuits, will interconnect the IBC with 15 sport venues, the Main Press Center, and the Athletes Village. The fiber infrastructure will comprise the necessary redundancy and diversity guaranteeing high reliability, security and minimal latency. Additionally, an Aldea Network Management and Operations Center will be deployed locally within the IBC providing 24×7 monitoring and support, to ensure the highest video transmission quality standards are met.

“We are delighted to once again be associated with the Pan American Games, an event we know very
well, having participated in the past three editions dating back to 2007. Aldea’s deep-rooted technical
expertise in deploying and operating real-time video solutions for global sporting events, attention to
quality, client responsiveness, along with our past success with similar global events were instrumental
in being selected to provide a complete turnkey video contribution solution”, said Lionel Bentolila,
Aldea CEO. “Aldea will also be providing international video transmission services from Lima to different
broadcasters throughout the Americas, who will air the events live to their respective audiences”,
concluded Mr. Bentolila.

Alfredo Izquierdo, Director – Business Segment of Telefonica in Peru said, “We chose to work with Aldea
as a result of Aldea’s commitment to excellence in the field of live sports transmission. We recognize
Aldea 20 years of experience delivering major global sporting events such as the Olympics and FIFA
World Cup to broadcasters and media companies around the world”. Mr. Izquierdo added, “Aldea has

also deep roots in the Americas, and we felt very comfortable choosing to work with a company which
knows our market and culture.”

CONMEBOL Copa America 2019 from Brazil. The Company successfully delivered the HD and UHD/4K
