Babcock provides a range of services which are fundamental to the operational success of our customers within the broadcasting and communications sectors. These services cover the design, build, operation and maintenance of physical infrastructure, as well as managing and providing turnkey content-to-consumer delivery.

With the capability to be a one-stop shop for all the elements required for the successful installation, commissioning and integration of a mobile communications network we are able to save our customers time and expense in sourcing their solutions. We can also provide on-going operational support activities helping to ensure the optimum performance of a network. All services are supported by an efficient nationwide storage and logistics service, ensuring that network equipment is delivered to site both safely and on time.

Babcock has made significant investment in our pioneering global content distribution system, which offers our customers the fully scalable media and converged IP solution they need for distributing their programmes, all managed from our state-of-the-art Media Management Centre. Babcock owned and operated global broadcast infrastructure transmits over 1,000 hours of short-wave and medium-wave broadcasts every day, linking broadcasters to their audiences worldwide.

Babcock has more than 80 years' experience of providing services to the broadcast infrastructure sector. Since it designed and erected the Alexandra Palace Tower in 1936, which broadcast the BBC's first public television transmission, Babcock has gained extensive experience worldwide, offering a significant in-house resource in high mast broadcast skills for the design, construction, maintenance and expansion of broadcast network infrastructure.
