What GlobalM does
GlobalM SA is a privately held Swiss company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Meyrin (Geneva), Switzerland, that provides a Software-Defined Video Network (SDVN) platform for live video contribution and distribution. The platform orchestrates transport across public internet, 5G, LEO satellite, fibre, and cloud, replacing fixed hardware-bound broadcast gateways with a software-defined, distributed architecture organised around a patented Pod model. The product portfolio spans GMX Cloud (SaaS), GMX 1 Core and GMX 1 Edge on-premises appliances, the GMDC (GlobalM Device Control) API for encoder/decoder orchestration, the MOJO zero-configuration mobile SRT app, edge signal processing services (frame rate conversion, HDR-to-SDR), GM Tunnel for cloud interconnect, and a cloud multiviewer. Native OS-level orchestration (systemd) is used in place of container clusters to optimise recovery in live broadcast environments.

Revenue model
- Software Platform Subscription / Usage: GlobalM charges for usage of its cloud platform for video transport and orchestration. The MOJO mobile app is licence-free for as many handsets as needed; organisations only pay when the app is in active use, making costs predictable and elastic.
- Edge Processing (Pay as You Go): On-demand signal processing services such as frame rate conversion and HDR to SDR conversion are available on a pay-as-you-go basis, activated only when required for specific events or distribution workflows.
- GMX Gateway Appliances: Hardware appliances (GMX 1 Core and GMX 1 Edge) are sold for on-premises and hybrid deployments, complementing the cloud platform. These support GPU-based encoding with NVIDIA technology.
- Platform / Managed Services: Managed services for sports federations and rights holders, providing secure, scalable, and cost-effective live feed delivery globally as part of a managed service contract.

GlobalM product offering
Product offeringCore offering
GlobalM builds a cloud-native software-defined video network (SDVN) platform that enables broadcasters, sports federations, and news agencies to transport live video across internet, 5G, LEO satellite, fibre, and cloud. The company sells the GMX platform as a cloud SaaS (GMX Cloud) and as on-premises/hybrid hardware appliances (GMX 1 Core, GMX 1 Edge), complemented by a zero-configuration SRT mobile app (MOJO) and the GMDC device control API for encoder/decoder orchestration.
Product overview
GlobalM is a Swiss-based live IP video transport platform designed to replace costly and inflexible legacy satellite and fiber networks with a secure, protocol-agnostic, cloud-native software-defined video network (SDVN) solution. The product portfolio consists of two primary deployment models: GMX Cloud (SaaS) for cloud-native deployments and GMX 1 (on-premises/hybrid) for physical appliance-based deployments. GMX 1 includes two appliance variants: GMX 1 Core (high-density rack-mounted for large-scale transport) and GMX 1 Edge (compact portable for events/remote production). The platform is orchestrated through GMDC (GlobalM Device Control) API for encoder/decoder management and a Cloud NMS for network management. Key software add-ons include edge processing services (frame rate/HDR conversion), GM Tunnel for cloud connectivity, cloud multiviewer for remote monitoring, and SRT Mobile App (MOJO) for zero-configuration mobile contribution. The platform supports SRT, RIST, RTMP, HLS, and MPEG-DASH protocols within a unified orchestration layer.

Strategic signalPartnerships
Eight partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.
- Eutelsat / OneWebflagshipAt NAB 2026, GlobalM joined Dejero and Eutelsat's 'Field to Air' live multi-partner demonstration showcasing a signal chain powered by Dejero TITAN Command and Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO satellite constellation. GlobalM was one of six broadcast technology partners integrated across multiple show floor booths, demonstrating real-time production workflows combining cellular and satellite connectivity with 200–300 millisecond target latency.
- DejeroflagshipDejero and Eutelsat organised the 'Field to Air' live demonstration at NAB 2026. GlobalM participated as an integration partner alongside Clear-Com, Matrox Video, and Ross Video, demonstrating interoperability of IP-native live video transport within a combined cellular and LEO satellite signal chain.
- GlobecastcoreAt SPORTEL Monaco 2025, a strategic collaboration between Globecast, GlobalM, and World Curling on cloud-based IP workflows was announced, presented at the GlobalM booth. This built on the October 2025 partnership announcement.
- GlobecastcoreGlobecast and GlobalM announced a strategic collaboration with World Curling to deliver live international coverage of World Curling events. Globecast provides global media distribution expertise and managed services; GlobalM provides its cloud-native IP video transport platform. Together they offer sports federations a modern alternative to satellite distribution: secure, scalable, and cost-effective live feeds to rights holders worldwide. Steve MacMurray (Globecast) and Paul Calleja (GlobalM) publicly announced the partnership in Paris.
- World CurlingcoreWorld Curling partnered with Globecast and GlobalM to modernise its broadcast distribution, transitioning from legacy satellite to IP-based delivery. GlobalM's platform enables World Curling to self-provision live coverage to rights holders in real time, achieving cost savings and global reach.
- ScoopacoreGlobalM announced a strategic partnership with scoopa for rapid broadcast-quality content distribution. Live signals from GlobalM are sent directly to scoopa and recorded as files for distribution, editing, or archiving. This omits intermediate steps such as OB van recording and automates preview videos, rights management, and email notifications.
- IntinorcoreGlobalM announced a new integration with Intinor, enabling Intinor's customers to gather and share content from mobile devices reliably using GlobalM's SDVN platform. The integration allows Intinor to extend its product portfolio with multi-vendor interoperability, allowing its customers to use GlobalM's mobile streaming capabilities as part of Intinor's single platform offering.
- Matrox VideocoreGlobalM and Matrox Video have an established integration, working together on multiple major events including BBC Studios' SRT distribution of the Queen's funeral.

- TAG Video Systems: Direct peer providing IP monitoring, multiviewer, and probing solutions for live broadcast workflows. Overlaps with GlobalM's Cloud Multiviewer and IP monitoring capabilities and shares the same enterprise broadcast customer base.
- Intinor: Direct peer in IP video contribution with encoders and a routing/distribution platform used by broadcasters and sports producers. GlobalM and Intinor have an integration partnership as well as overlapping go-to-market in mobile/SRT contribution.
- Dejero: Direct peer in resilient live video contribution over blended IP networks (cellular, satellite, wired). Co-participated with GlobalM in the NAB 2026 'Field to Air' demonstration and competes for mobile newsgathering workloads.
- TVU Networks: Direct peer in IP-based live video transmission for news, sports and broadcast, with mobile transmitters and a cloud-based distribution platform. Targets the same sports federation and news agency segments.
- LiveU: Direct peer in mobile video contribution with bonded cellular HEVC encoders and a cloud management platform. Competes directly with GlobalM's MOJO app in newsgathering and live event contribution.
Broad incumbents
- Matrox Video: Established broadcast encoder/decoder vendor with whom GlobalM has a deep integration via GMDC. Overlaps in hardware contribution workflows but Matrox's portfolio extends well beyond GlobalM's software orchestration scope.
- AWS Elemental: Broad incumbent in cloud-based media encoding, packaging, and distribution for broadcasters. Competes with GlobalM's cloud transcoding/remuxing and edge processing services at the hyperscaler level.
Emerging players
- Wowza Streaming Engine: Software-based streaming infrastructure provider for live and on-demand video delivery. Overlaps with GlobalM's protocol support (HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTMP) and cloud delivery, though focused more broadly on streaming than broadcast-grade transport.
