"Gigatel provided us with uplink facilities during the Foot and Mouth crisis which swept through Britain.With their technical expertise we were able to broadcast from fairly remote areas at a moment's notice. This enabled us to provide the agricultural community with valuable information as events developed. They have highly trained bi-lingual staff who give you the confidence that's required during a live transmission. I would recommend them without any hesitation and I look forward to their latest development with the radio camera."

Head of Production Management, Teledu Telesgop

“We have used Gigatel on numerous occasions for both light entertainment programmes and our weekly live children's programme. Gigatel staff are always keen and willing to help. The kit is of high quality and well maintained. The team do their own maintenance and building so they know the kit - vital in live applications.

More than that they treat you like a client”.

Mike Griffiths, Director, Antena Ltd.

“On behalf of RTE TV Facilities Division I would like to express my thanks for the very significant contribution made by Gigatel in the provision of live uplinks for our recent General Election Results Programme. The very high standards of quality and professionalism displayed by your team have contributed in no small manner to what is now recognised in RTE and in the industry here as being the most successful Election Results coverage to date. As with the nature of live broadcasting and breaking stories there were the inevitable unplanned last minute changes in uplink venues which necessitated rapid de-rig and relocation. The speed with which you responded to these requests was remarkable and much appreciated by the Programme Executive Producer.

You established a record in one instance when, within six minutes of arrival on site you were uplinking live!” (Irish General Election, May 2002).

Richard Corish, Facilities Manager, RTÉ

“I have worked with Gigatel on a number of occasions and have found them to be most professional in all their work. I can not recommend them highly enough for any uplinking, whether it be in a local broadcast environment or in the middle of a field as they did for me in Slane castle, Dublin.” (Robbie Williams concert).

John Gorry, Master Technical Manager, British Sky Broadcasting

“The problems you faced and overcame in Paris on New Year’s Eve were a fine example of how reliable you have proven to be, and the success no doubt comes from the thorough preparation prior to the project, the well maintained and high quality of the equipment you own, and last but no means least the friendly, efficient and trustworthy operators you employ.” (Millennium coverage).

“The British Touring Car Championship generates a big demand for video highlights to be delivered urgently following each event. Newsrooms in the UK and world-wide need a safe and reliable service. For the last 4 years, Gigatel have worked with BHP to provide the essential link direct from track to newsroom. In this time they have provided a faultless service and been a pleasure to work with.”

Derek Martin, Operations Manager,
Barrie Hinchliffe Productions Ltd.

“Having worked with most of the UK’s major SNG providers, I can attest that Gigatel remain unchallenged - both in speed of deployment and reliability.”

Nigel Roberts, Freelance Cameraman

“Having worked with Gigatel on numerous occasions over the last few years, I can honestly say that it’s always a pleasure when they arrive to provide the uplink service. The service they provide is second to none, and on the one occasion when a problem arose (at the receiving site and not of their making) it was quickly corrected. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to a prospective client.”

Eifion Williams, Operations Director, Barcud Derwen Cyf.

“Having worked with all the Gigatel operators over the past year I have found they have provided an unbeatable service. Their ability to respond quickly, their flexibility in rigging in often difficult locations and the courteous way their operators deal with guests has helped promote and maintain the BBC’s image as a professional organisation.”
