NZ's TV3 and TVNZ Go Advent Flyaway for Rugby World Cup

Both TV3 and TVNZ upgraded their flyaway equipment for the Rugby World cup and purchased brand new ultra-lightweight Mantis flyaway kits from Advent Communications.

The new Mantis dishes were collected from the Advent factory in Chesham and flew directly to France where the majority of the World Cup matches were scheduled.

Advent are represented by Phil Cooke at The Bridge Networks, specialists in equipment for the broadcast and Satellite sectors.

Says Phil Cooke: "The Bridge Networks has already delivered multiple Mantis systems to New Zealand which has been a good experience. This has earned confidence in Advent&'s products and technical support. The new Mantis flyaway was delivered tested ready to go into action quickly - straight from the Advent factory to the World Cup in France."

Advent Communications is a leading manufacturer of satellite uplinks and flyaways for broadcast and defence applications and has just completely refurbished and refitted its factory to create space for its latest production processes and new administrative offices at Chesham.
