Speedcast is one of the largest satellite uplink operators in Brazil, operating seven large uplink dishes from their facility near Sao Paulo. They provide uplink services for major Brazilian TV channels such as Rede TV and SBT, and were the first to transmit an HDTV signal in Brazil in 2008. Speedcast also operates a small studio for producing content for business television clients like Volkswagen. They have expanded their capabilities over the years and can now transmit in both 16:9 format and 3D.
