Ireland’s National broadcaster, RTE, is purchasing two Newswift satellite antennas from Advent Communications. They will be added to the broadcaster’s already-owned Newswift equipment to increase the size of the satellite communications fleet. These new antennas are to be mounted on new radio communications vehicles.
This new order, finalized at the recent IBC exposition, is for two 1.2 meter Ku-band antenna systems with integrated RF and SSPA package. The Newswift antenna is a highly compact system with a specially shaped offset feed antenna made from carbon fibre—Lewisville, Texas
