Satellite Uplink Truck

KU Band Satellite transmissions for television broadcast was started in Canada in 1983. The development of the mobile phone and its decreasing cost of operation and hardware over the years mean trucks didn't need a satellite system in most places in US. It became easier to go live from anywhere the truck could drive by raising the antenna and seeing the satellite. This was also introduced in most part of United States of America like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Orange Country, Bakersfield, Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Hollywood, Burbank, Riverside, Palm Springs, San Diego, Oceanside, Long Beach, Beverly Hills, and Irvine. Live events were easy to show to the audience across the globe.  

With the years passed by, KU band satellite truck has undergone many changes. From large trucks with C band dishes to a series of small to large vehicles varying from a SUV, van, Sprinter, bread truck to the more common carryall. Some of the satellite uplink vehicles have TV station or network-owned and custom suited to live television production companies internal usage needs. But in independently owned satellite uplink vehicles are designed to perform multiple functions like straight uplink/downlink services, network news, satellite media tours, etc.
