Channel Four Horse Racing and Highflyer Productions have just spent five days transmitting at Glorious Goodwood using a total of eleven RF microwave links and radio camera systems to improve their coverage. 


 


This event probably has the widest range of RF equipment ranging from simple fixed point to point links, tracking vehicle cameras, aerial blimps and standard reporter radio cameras.  All these RF systems were expertly engineered and supplied by Broadcast RF.

 
Due to the 2.5GHz spectrum being very congested, Broadcast RF used four 7GHz links which were vigorously tested in some harsh RF environments on this horse racing event.  The 7GHz links performed well against their 2.5GHz counterparts leading the way forward for the future use of different digital frequencies. 

 

This is good news for Broadcast RF customers and users due to Ofcom drastically cutting back the 2.5GHz spectrum allowing no room for heavily congested events.  7GHz is now the answer!
