Gravity Media, a world leader in production and content and media services and facilities, has strengthened its Middle East operations with the recent appointment of Mohamed Abouelkhair as its new Technical Manager, alongside the deployment of three outside broadcast (OB) trucks, NOVA 101, Nova 109, and SIRIUS 303.
With over 15 years of experience across the broadcast, technology, and communications sectors, Mohamed brings deep technical expertise and leadership to Gravity Media Arabia. Mohamed’s background spans multinational and local organisations across manufacturing, broadcast services, TV, and more. Known for his strong vendor relationships and hands-on engineering knowledge, Mohamed has also designed and delivered numerous technical training programmes, mentoring the next generation of broadcast engineers.
The announcement comes as Gravity Media Arabia successfully delivered a major project under the expanded technical team, The Six Kings Slam, a premier men’s tennis exhibition tournament produced by IMG. Held at the ANB Arena in Riyadh from 15th–18th October as part of Riyadh Season, the event marked its first-ever global live stream on Netflix.
Gravity Media provided full technical production facilities and crew, deploying its UHD OB unit NOVA 101 to deliver a seamless live broadcast. The production featured an advanced multi-camera setup integrating RED V-Raptor cinematic systems, Canon Cine-servo lenses, and Sony HDC series cameras, supported by a 45-strong technical team managing vision, audio, RF, and engineering.
Martyn Edwards, Managing Director for the Middle East at Gravity Media, commented: “This is a hugely exciting time for Gravity Media in the Middle East. The region’s appetite for world-class live events continues to grow, and our investment in new technology and local expertise ensures we’re perfectly positioned to deliver. With Mohamed joining the team, we’re deepening our technical capability and building even stronger foundations for future growth.”
Mohamed Abouelkhair, newly appointed Technical Manager at Gravity Media, said: “Joining Gravity Media at such a dynamic point in its regional growth is a proud moment. The Middle East is fast becoming a global hub for live production innovation, and I’m excited to play a part in driving that forward. With the deployment of NOVA 101 and SIRIUS 303, and a talented team of engineers behind them, we’re well-equipped to deliver the next generation of production and broadcast excellence across the region.”
