Television Canaria Orders Four Advent Newswifts

Television Canaria, the autonomous TV network for the Canary Islands, is purchasing four vehicle mounted Newswift satellite antennas manufactured by Advent Communications in the UK.
This will give the broadcaster a Digital Satellite Newsgathering (DSNG) vehicle for every Canary island.
The contract was awarded following a successful tender by Advent's Spanish representative, dB Comunicaciones in Madrid.
"dB Comunicaciones won this tender because our bid offered the best solution in terms of technology," says Rafael Ochoa of dB Comunicaciones.
"We are supplying complete systems with controllers and eight DVE4000 digital encoders, which Television Canaria, will use on board the new DSNG vehicles."
dDB Comunicaciones has prepared the complete integration design and will install the equipment and provide local support in Spain.
Television Canaria, the Spanish language broadcaster for the Canary Islands, also broadcasts to mainland Spain and South America.
Advent Communications has delivered a total of twenty antennas and flyaways to Spain during 2006. Telecinco (TV5) and Canal Nou both purchased additional systems prior to the Pope's visit earlier in the year.
Advent Communications is part of the Vislink Group of companies who combined are probably the global market leader in contribution technologies taking a signal from outside broadcast to studio or play out centre.
Advent has an enduring reputation for engineering excellence and innovation and has sold more than 1000 rapid deployment systems around the world.
