If you have the technical capacity to provide us some of the different services we would appreciate a quotation or email us should more details be required.

6) Satellite Transmission:
We urgently need contact with some organization or individuals to assist us in getting the Live Streams from remote locations to the Servers.
We must use satellite transmission from solar and battery power sources. We need portability. So we need your knowledge and products (?) to satisfy our needs in both of these fields. Urgently!
