As Systems Engineer Greg Colburn said, "My favorite part about working at CHESA is the people I work with. That applies to co-workers as well as our clients and vendors. Being in the weird niche IT sector CHESA is in means I constantly get to interact with a wide variety of people from different backgrounds and experiences, and all of these people want to see each other succeed. It's a very positive environment to be a part of and I love it!"

This Memorial Day, we honor Spc. Hilda I. Clayton -- a U.S. Army Visual Information Specialist and Combat Camera photographer who gave her life documenting a mission in Afghanistan. 🎖️

Clayton served with the historic 55th Signal Company (Combat Camera), a military unit responsible for capturing photo and video documentation in active combat zones. In her honor, the Department of Defense renamed its annual “Best Combat Camera” competition to the “Spc. Hilda I. Clayton Best Combat Camera Competition" in 2014.

Her courage behind the lens reminds us that storytelling in service of our nation is never without sacrifice.

At CHESA, we are privileged to support the projects that protect and serve our country every day. To the fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, we honor you today.
🦅❤️🤍💙

If your broadcast or production facility is running on aging SDI infrastructure, you are not alone!

Many federal agencies, sports organizations, and enterprise media operations are facing the same decision HHS once faced... continue patching legacy systems, or build a foundation designed for the next decade? 🛰️📺

So, how did CHESA help? We designed, staged, and deployed a complete SMPTE ST 2110 broadcast infrastructure for one of the largest federal communications operations in Washington, D.C.
