Dejero expands video & data transport across IP networks in Europe & Asia
MUMBAI: Dejero today announced that it has expanded its European distributor network while strengthening its European and Asian presence through high-profile sales appointments. Dejero is an innovator in cloud-managed solutions that simplify the transport of live video and real-time data across remote or mobile IP networks. The announcement was made at International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam.
In Portugal, AV and broadcast technology systems integrator, Ibertelco, has added the Dejero portfolio to the turn-key solutions it offers customers in the region. Founded in 1997, Ibertelco has a strong presence both, in Portugal and in the international market.
In Poland, technology distributor DTS also joins the ranks of Dejero distributors across Europe, which also include Italy’s Video Signal, Germany’s Monerjan Medientechnik and France-, Belgium- and Luxumbourg-based Tevios.
“Dejero has witnessed a steady expansion of our global sales following the appointment of Arco Groenenberg as SVP Global Sales and the appointment of Marc Derks as Director of Sales in EMEA last year,” commented Brian Cram, CEO of Dejero. “Together they have paved more direct routes to market and built up stronger regional channels so that we can offer better pre-sales, sales and local support to our customers.”
Cram continues, “What’s more, we expect the new additions to our product portfolio such as the roaming packages to our LIVE+ EnGo mobile transmitter to generate even more interest internationally as they provide an affordable, easy to use option for news crews covering stories from remote regions.”
Further afield, Dejero is strengthening its presence in Asia with the appointment of Mark Moore as Director of Sales for APAC. Moore joins Dejero from Ideal Systems, where he was the Head of Operations for Japan and specialised in new business development. He previously held executive sales and marketing roles for Evertz and Media Global Links in the Asia Pacific region.
“The calibre of people and distributors that we’ve invested in globally demonstrates how Dejero is strengthening its presence in markets where there is a strong demand for the fast and effective acquisition and distribution of live video content over IP networks from remote locations anywhere in the world,” added Cram.
Dejero will demonstrate the enhancements to LIVE+ EnGo along with the full LIVE+ platform at stand 12.C56 during the IBC2016 exhibition from September 9 – 13 in Amsterdam.

Why Peaky Blinders is one of television’s biggest hits that still deserves more attention
Six seasons, multiple awards and the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man bring the Shelby saga back into the spotlight
In the crowded universe of streaming content, only a handful of shows manage to leave a lasting cultural footprint. Peaky Blinders is overwhelmingly considered one of the biggest global hits of the past decade. Yet many viewers still haven’t fully explored the dark, gripping world of the Shelby family.
Originally produced for the UK’s BBC and later finding a massive global audience through Netflix, the series quietly grew from a British period drama into a worldwide streaming phenomenon.
Created by Steven Knight, the show follows the rise of the Shelby crime family in post-First World War Birmingham. What begins as a gritty street-gang story gradually expands into a sweeping narrative about ambition, politics, power and survival.
At the centre of the saga is Thomas Shelby, portrayed with extraordinary depth by Cillian Murphy. The casting of Murphy is widely regarded as perfect for the role. With piercing eyes, restrained dialogue and an almost hypnotic screen presence, he transforms Shelby into one of the most unforgettable characters in modern screen storytelling.
Murphy’s brilliance lies in his restraint. He rarely shouts or performs theatrically. Instead, a quiet stare, a calculated pause or a subtle shift in expression conveys the emotional storms within the character. Beneath the ruthless gang leader is a war veteran carrying trauma, guilt and loneliness. Murphy captures this complexity with remarkable precision, making Thomas Shelby both terrifying and deeply human.
Beyond its central performance, Peaky Blinders stands out for its unfiltered portrayal of reality. The show does not romanticise crime. Instead, it exposes the harsh social conditions of early 20th-century Britain, from poverty and class struggle to political extremism and the psychological scars left by war.
The series also presents powerful female characters who hold their own within the Shelby empire. Polly Gray, played by Helen McCrory, is the strategic backbone of the family and one of the most formidable figures in the story. Women in the series shape decisions, influence power structures and challenge the rigid social norms of the time.
Across six seasons, the narrative grows dramatically in scale. What begins in the smoky streets of Birmingham evolves into a story involving political conspiracies, fascism and international criminal networks.
The series has also earned significant critical acclaim. It won the BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series in 2018 and multiple National Television Awards for Best Drama, cementing its reputation as one of Britain’s most celebrated modern shows.
Another defining feature of the series is its iconic music. The show’s opening theme, Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, became instantly recognisable and widely associated with the Shelby universe. Combined with a powerful soundtrack featuring artists such as Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead, the music helped shape the show’s dark, stylish identity and became hugely popular among fans.
And the Shelby story is not over yet.
In fact, its legacy is unfolding right now. The long-awaited feature-length continuation, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, was released on March 6, 2026, bringing the Shelby universe from streaming screens to cinemas and giving fans a new chapter in the saga.
For viewers who have not yet stepped into this world, the timing could not be better.
Six gripping seasons are ready to binge on Netflix. A new film has just arrived in theatres. And at the heart of it all stands one of the most magnetic performances in modern drama by Cillian Murphy.
So if Peaky Blinders has been sitting on your watchlist for years, this weekend is your moment.
So, by order of the Peaky fookin’ Blinders, consider this your cue to finally step into the ruthless world of Thomas Shelby. Pour yourself a drink, clear your schedule and press the play button. Because when the Peaky Blinders give an order, you listen.
