Another stop along the way at IBC finds Team Satnews publisher, Silvano Payne, and Director of Marketing, Jill Durfee, at the 2wcom booth experiencing déja vu when they met with Managing Director, Werner Drews. Which one is the real Werner? What about Leif Cipriano, Sales Engineer and Nicole Petersen, Team Assistance Office Management?

One thing for certain is they brought news about their many products including the fact that an automatic selection and switch to the best available transport stream is a boon for broadcasters with 2wcom's FlexDSR04+ DVB Satellite Receiver/IRD.

Werner Drews, Founder of 2wcom, explains the company’s philosophy as follows, “It is our ambition to contribute to our customer’s business success with future oriented high quality products. We are developing with and for our customers. All of our professional and sophisticated products are being designed and manufactured at 2wcom in Flensburg—Made in Germany."
