Levira Media Services has officially opened its new Leeds facility.
Designed to meet the needs of next generation content delivery, the facility is situated within AQL’s Salem Chapel data centre and fully integrated within its Tier 3+ colocation and telecom hub. Featuring redundant power, ISO 27001-certified security, and IXLeeds peering, the environment underpins Levira’s IP-based playout, cloud ingest, transcoding and real-time delivery services across both linear and non-linear workflows.
Blending broadcast-grade reliability with a flexible IT infrastructure, the hybrid broadcast-telecom node delivers scalable, low-latency, high-availability media operations aiming to meet the evolving demands of broadcasters, OTT platforms and content owners in both domestic and international markets, said the company.
The facility builds on the establishment of Levira Media Services as the company’s UK entity earlier this year and reinforces the partnership-led ethos of combining experienced local teams with technological innovation.
Commenting, Martti Kinkar, CEO of Levira Media Services, said, “Our new Leeds facility embodies what Levira Media Services stands for – agility, flexibility, and enabling true partnership. We’ve built an environment that fuses proven broadcast performance with forward-thinking, IT-driven innovation. This facility is not just about capacity, it’s about enabling UK broadcasters and media organisations to adapt faster, collaborate more closely, and embrace technology built for the future.”
Tiit Tammiste, CEO of Levira, added: “The decision to invest in the UK was driven by our belief in the strength and creativity of this market. Establishing a state-of-the-art facility in Leeds, backed by a dedicated UK team, ensures we can deliver the same quality, resilience, and innovation that Levira is known for across Europe, now tailored to local needs. This is about long-term partnership and building a sustainable foundation for growth.”
