NEP Belgium and Broadcast Solutions complete new RTBF OB truck through the coronavirus lockdown

The COVID-19 lockdown across Europe failed to delay the delivery of a full-length new OB truck built by Broadcast Solutions for NEP Belgium and destined for RTBF. The team dedicated to building the truck continued to work remotely from home offices when the lockdown came in mid-March, and succeeded in delivering the vehicle on time for its 1 April deadline.

The 12-metre truck is the first of two that will be leased and used by Belgian public broadcaster RTBF, which delivers TV, radio and streaming services to the French-speaking part of Belgium. RTBF will use these trucks for its wide range of sports and entertainment shows.

Lawo Helps Belgium's RTBF Usher in New Era With Two Full-IP OB Trucks

In early April 2020, RTBF, Belgium’s public broadcaster for the country’s French-speaking community, took delivery of the first of two full-IP OB trucks. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the 12m long trailer had to be configured remotely using TeamViewer, a few web cameras and microphones for confirmation purposes as well as via VPN in order to be delivered on time. The second identical OB truck will arrive on July 1. Masterminded by Geert Thoelen of NEP Belgium and Dirk Sykora of Lawo, the vehicles built by Broadcast Solutions in Germany will be leased to RTBF for eight years.
