New Zealand’s National broadcaster, Television New Zealand (TVNZ), has completed factory acceptance tests on a new 1.2-meter motorized FlyDrive satellite antenna from Advent Communications, which they have selected to use in covering the final stages of the Rugby World Cup. TVNZ mounted the FlyDrive on a hired vehicle to drive it to France to cover the Rugby World Cup.
Advent’s FlyDrive is designed to be carried by air or mounted on a vehicle. The Rugby World Cup is a typical case where a single dish will be used in both modes to cover one news story. Once back in Wellington, New Zealand, the FlyDrive antenna is to be used on the back of a Mitsubishi utility vehicle for daily news assignments. Advent’s FlyDrive is motorized with GPS-based satellite acquisition and tracking and is remote controllable with three axis control, including 360 degrees azimuth range—Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
