WTS Broadcast Systems

What WTS Broadcast Systems does

WTS Broadcast Systems, doing business as C2S Media (legal name Broadcast Technology & Systems), is a UK-headquartered broadcast systems integrator based in Epping, England. The company designs, supplies, builds, and commissions broadcast and media infrastructure for television broadcasters, sports and entertainment producers, outside broadcast companies, and news organizations. Core offerings include complete turnkey TV channel facilities covering acquisition through transmission, outside broadcast (OB) vehicles ranging from compact DSNG vans to 24-camera Triple Expander 4K/UHD trucks, and portable production units (PPUs) configured from 4 PTZ cameras to 24+ camera modular systems. Underlying work spans planning, workflow consultancy, technology selection, installation, integration, and commissioning across video, audio, control, and network systems.

The firm monetizes through a combination of professional services (system integration, consultancy, training) and hardware resale as an approved equipment partner for major broadcast manufacturers, with a small UK team supported by a global delivery network. It differentiates through joint venture partnerships where C2S contributes technology, engineering expertise and structured financial support, and through System Finance arrangements with financial institutions that extend tailored short- and long-term funding to private and government-backed clients. The customer base spans government broadcasters (ZANIS Zambia, MINCOM/CRTV Cameroon, MCOT Thailand), commercial broadcasters (CNBC Asia, QVC Japan, Life TV Ivory Coast), sports production companies (Mediawan Sports, SuperSport, HOTSPORTS), and retail/news outlets (Associated Press UK), with explicit specialization in Africa and the Middle East and growing penetration into Western Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Grass Valley: Global broadcast technology manufacturer of cameras, switchers, routers, playout, and storage — equipment that WTS resells and integrates. A broad incumbent whose hardware stack underpins much of WTS's solutions.
• EVS Broadcast Equipment: Global broadcast infrastructure vendor whose live production, replay, and media asset management systems are commonly integrated into WTS projects. An incumbent vendor rather than a direct integrator competitor.
• Sony Professional Solutions: Global supplier of broadcast cameras, switchers, and production systems used as approved equipment by WTS. Acts as both supplier and broad incumbent in the broader systems-integration ecosystem.

Regional players
