RTÉ, Europasat Deliver Irish General Election Coverage
RTÉ recently delivered comprehensive coverage of the Irish General Election, in conjunction with Europasat, using its satellite newsgathering service.
The service, which uses the latest generation KA-SAT satellite, transmitted live coverage and interviews from 17 different counting stations and political headquarters throughout the country, and typically where there was limited – or no – access to high-speed terrestrial broadband.
For the project, Europasat engineers set up antennas and managed the bandwidth for the broadcasts. Its broadcast specialist partner, Auriga Kore Networks, controlled the terrestrial routing of the IP signal via London Telehouse North to the RTÉ studio in Dublin.
Piotr Kaszynski, Technology Manager, RTÉ News and Current Affairs, said: "The Europasat service allowed our teams to cover more counting stations than ever before, in areas where it would have traditionally been more difficult and costly to report from. During the marathon 17 hour TV Election 2016 results coverage we had simultaneous live streams available from 15 different IP KA band Europasat locations working alongside 17 KU band satellite newsgathering trucks."
The latest generation of lightweight equipment from Europasat has guaranteed bandwidth up to 10 Mbps and supports transmissions of live video and audio in SD and HD. As an IP-based service it is adapted for quickly sending store-and-forward files and FTP, and can be used in combination with IP codecs, such as, M-Link Live-X or M-Link News Caster for video and audio. Europasat's satellite terminals are available as Flyaway models or Autopointing versions.
