OMER, Israel, February 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RRSat Global
Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQGM: RRST) ("RRSat"), a rapidly
growing provider of comprehensive content management and global
distribution services to the television and radio broadcasting
industries, today announced that David Rivel, RRSat's Founder and
Chief Executive Officer, was named 2007 "Teleport Executive of the
Year" by the World Teleport Association (WTA) at the SATELLITE 2007
conference in Washington, D.C. last week. Among his
accomplishments, Mr. Rivel was cited by the WTA for his efforts in
building RRSat's capabilities to handle the "turbulent flow of
information" from Israel and the Middle East to the outside world.
WTA also recognized Mr. Rivel's leadership in taking RRSat public
in the U.S. and in building the company to become the ninth-ranked
independent teleport operator in the world in terms of revenue.
"Under Mr. Rivel's management, RRSat has chalked up a string of
impressive achievements, including an alliance with Eutelsat that
extends its reach into the Asian broadcast market, the opening of a
standup facility in Israel to accommodate live transmissions for
news agencies, support for coverage of a series of crises, from
military operations to the hospitalization of the Israeli prime
minister, and an expansion of its fiber network by 40%, including
the development of new POPs worldwide. In the past year, the
company added 50 channels to its roster, including the launch of
Baby TV, a commercial-free service over HotBird-5 and Thaicom5,"
according to the WTA. At the ceremony Mr. Rivel stated "I stand
here before you receiving this very respectable award. But also
stand before you representing 130 talented technicians and
engineers who have worked days and nights, non stop, for many years
to bring the company to its current standing. These employees have
done, and continue to do, their utmost to make sure the company's
services are of the highest level and quality. For this never
ending loyalty, dedication and effort, I thank you, my team, for
bringing us to where we stand today, receiving this show of
appreciation from the industry." "I am proud to receive this honor
and to be recognized by my peers for my contributions to the growth
of the global teleport industry," said Mr. Rivel. "As a newly
public company, RRSat is looking forward to growing our company to
become the leading independent provider of comprehensive content
management and global distribution services to the television and
