    WHIZ-TV Live remote broadcast using Trango Radios

"As the chief engineer of WHIZ TV, being able to provide live news coverage from the field (called ENG or Electronic News Coverage) was a goal of mine from the day I started. Unfortunately, traditional remote ENG microwave system pricing quotes were coming in from $37,000 to $43,000 and they provide only two channels of audio and one channel of video unidirectionally. Instead, I now use the TrangoLINK-10™ for streaming wireless IP video to the station in conjunction with a Slingmedia Slingbox to convert the analog A/V to a data stream. We can now provide live remote news coverage from the field for under $3,000. The new Trango system saves us tens of thousands of dollars and it gives us excellent broadcast-quality video."

"It also gives us several added benefits and capabilities for our remote broadcasts that we have never had before. The major difference is that the TrangoLINK-10 is a bi-directional wireless data transmission system. Instead of a single-direction system, I can give our remote news staff a live network connection back to our electronic newsroom system; a connection to the Internet; return audio to the talent (IFB) and even a full duplex intercom system for the production staff-all over one wireless link. For a fraction of the price, I can accomplish much, much more than any tradition ENG system has ever allowed. In my opinion, ENG microwave systems are a thing of the past. Using the TrangoLINK-10 and the new TrangoLINK-45 will allow future growth ability since bandwidth needed for HD broadcasting is even greater. The Trango gear is future proof and cost effective!"
