Small, but perfectly formed, uPod® is the ultimate portable uplink system from SIS LIVE. uPod packs into easy-to-carry cases that are completely flight-friendly, complying with airline baggage regulations. In fact, uPod is the only antenna that can be flown as standard baggage.
uPod can take you anywhere.
Ideal for HD and SD satellite newsgathering, the uPod series is totally integrated, with its own bookings system and dedicated satellite capacity. At the same time, it’s incredibly easy to operate, even for novices.
There are three models to choose from — with antenna sizes of 0.75, 1.0 and 1.2 metres.
Completely versatile, uPod can be used as a simple flyaway transmission solution or fitted to any vehicle. From a Mini Clubman to a large OB truck, there is almost no vehicle that it cannot be mounted on. It is totally flexible and can be removed from a vehicle quickly and easily and used as a ground mount system.
You pick the vehicle — uPod will do the rest.
And, because all the key components are fitted into the compact pod — including all the RF equipment — there’s plenty of room left in your vehicle for the rest of your kit.
