ND SatCom Strikes SNG Deal at IBC 2007

ND SatCom concluded an SNG deal at the IBC trade show in Amsterdam.
VTS, a German system integrator for audio and video technology, ordered two satellite uplinks for Satellite News Gathering (SNG) vehicles, which are going to be delivered to WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), a major European broadcaster. Both uplink systems are integrated by ND SatCom in Friedrichshafen.
The WDR production vehicles will be equipped with SkyRAY antenna subsystems and 400 Watt High Power Amplifiers. The uplink packages also include ND SatCom’s Monitoring & Control System and the Automatic Pointing System (APS). The company’s SkyWAN technology platform allows vehicle operation by remote control via database. The technology equips the SNG teams with full office communication capabilities when on site.
Dieter Dreizler, Sales Director of ND SatCom stated at IBC: "We have been working both with VTS and WDR for a long time. They know our technologies and what we deliver, we know their needs and have the capability to customize the systems to their needs."
ND SatCom is part of the SES ASTRA group. Visit www.ndsatcom.com for further information.
