2004.05 - New at Hit Radio FFH: Faster on air with satellite transmission car

If journalists from the private radio station HIT RADIO FFH come along with their new satellite transmission car it is always a sensation. The Vauxhall Zafira is equipped with overpackaging technology. A satellite dish delivered from GESAT is on board as well. With this modern equipment the journalists are on air faster. "It is great fun to work with our new satellite transmission car because we can report live very quickly and in extraordinary quality from places with no connection for mobiles", says FFH journalist Stefan Pommerenke. The technical boss of FFH, Jörg Polinski, adds: "The satellite dish connects automatically with an Inmarsat satellite and is operateable even during drive." The dish is mounted under a radom and is not damageable by wind and rain. With the satellite telephone a ISDN plug with a transfer rate of 64 Kb/s is available. Live reports in studio quality are transferred via this connection. (Stereo, 15 KHz) Even applications like email and Internet can be used because of the satellite connection. Beside a command facility the car is equipped with a radio microphone. With this technology the journalist can transfer reports live to the FFH station via the car from up to 300 meters distance.
