PBG delivers for SKY SPORTS
When Pete Baker Group won the contract to deliver video for SKY SPORTS he called upon the reliability of the RM120. They also decided to ship the RM on its own and hire a truck locally. One of the key features is that the RM doesn't need any destructive coach building so the hired vehicle can be returned in perfect condition, saving on expensive shipping costs.
The RM antenna is an ultra-compact roof mount system which encompasses the drive control, positioning hardware and BUC/HPA into the aerodynamic antenna enclosure.
Reliability is key for REUTERS
Reuters have used our flyaway's to bring back news from all the major world events for over 5 years. So for the world cup our flyaways were the key choice. Our continued support and training for this world renowed organisation helps to bring the South African showpiece to the world.
The 1.5M quick deploy fully integrated flyaway terminal including an ultra light-weight carbon fibre mount and reflector can be easily assembled within 5 minutes with no tools.
