ARD Aktuell Downlink Station
In 1999, SatService delivered this turnkey project to the ARD in Hamburg. The 3.7m central station is primarily designed as a contribution station for SNG vehicles and to receive transmissions from other stationary ground stations. The design allows to retrofit it later on with transmission equipment, giving full uplink capability.
The earth station consists of
- 3.7m motorized Antenna System
- 2 analog TV Receivers (expandable)
- 2 digital IRD/Receivers (expandable)
- Task-oriented Client/Server Software Architecture
- Fully remote capability
