ENG FTP was founded in 2003 by Bruce Wilkinson and is based in New York City. Mr. Wilkinson has worked in the satellite industry for over 15 years. During this time he has covered the largest domestic and international news events working closely with major networks and news agencies in the USA and overseas. As a result of these experiences Mr. Wilkinson saw clearly the advantages of video file transfer technology and as a result started ENG FTP the first of its type.

"The first time we did the service we happened to be in New Orleans and the feed was for basketball highlights" Wilkinson remembers. "What I did not know was that the highlights were for LSU and they were played over and over again on all of the local channels".  "When I saw that our material looked as good as the local station's studio video I knew we had something".

  In 2007 ENG FTP became a subsidiary of Satellite Applications Inc. and today is managed by Dave Curren. He has been a freelance photojournalist for almost fifteen years and was one of ENG FTP's first clients. His computer and satellite transmission expertise made him a natural fit for the company.

Mr. Curen believes that the real strength of ENG FTP is its multipoint capability. He says, "..imagine the power of uploading your video to just one location and within minutes every broadcaster in the United States can get it and use it in a format they are familiar with". "There is no other service or technology out there that can compete with this".  

  ENG FTP believes that the news gathering process should be as democratic as possible. Through the incredible advances in compression technology this idea is becoming a reality. ENG FTP is playing a significant role in making the world a more informed place to live and work by allowing nearly everyone the opportunity to participate in the news gathering process.
