ND Satcom concluded a new SNG deal during the IBC trade show in Amsterdam. VTS, a German system integrator for audio and video technology, has now ordered two satellite uplinks for Satellite News Gathering (SNG) vehicles. They will be delivered to WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), a major European broadcaster, with both uplink systems to be integrated by ND SatCom in Friedrichshafen.
The WDR production vehicles will be equipped with SkyRAY antenna subsystems and 400-Watt High Power Amplifiers. The uplink packages also include ND SatCom’s Monitoring & Control System and the Automatic Pointing System (APS). The company’s SkyWAN technology platform allows vehicle operation by remote control via database. The technology equips the SNG teams with full office communication capabilities when on site—Friedrichshafen, Germany
