uPod - Overview

The small, versatile and highly advanced uplink

The award-winning uPod range is designed to make broadcasting easier. The complete, self-contained automatic uplink system is both incredibly quick and easy to operate and highly cost-effective – offering an outstanding alternative to a standard SNG vehicle.

Although only small, uPod’s state-of-the-art designs offer advanced uplink and monitoring capabilities, putting you in complete control of your newsgathering operation. uPod can be bolted onto almost any vehicle, and once uPod is on site, it will automatically acquire fixed or inclined orbit satellites to get you up and running in an instant.

Assisting in even the most challenging of circumstances, uPod can run diagnostics and be operated and remotely and wirelessly. Operating on a single, dual or fully redundant pathway using two RF chains – easily exchanged in minutes for maintenance – the uplink is also PAL/NTSC analogue and SDI capable.

When time is of the essence, uPod’s unique satellite booking system offers instant bookings online plus on-demand satellite access. And once your job is finished, uPod can be easily disassembled into manageable units, ready to be transported to your next destination – way ahead of the competition.
