Oman TV has contracted BFE and Dubai-based company UBMS to build two OB vans for the state broadcaster. The first OB van, equipped with 10 cameras, is a trailer with an extension and will be stationed at the broadcasters headquarters in Muscat.
The second one is an eight-camera compact vehicle OB van on a Mercedes Actros 2532 chassis. This vehicle will be used at Salalah, the second largest city in the kingdom, located in the south of Oman.
A support van on a Mercedes Actros 1222 chassis belongs to each unit.
The project is being executed in co-operation with Dutch OB van supplier Carrosserie Akkermans. BFE has also been awarded a contract to build a flight case studio for Oman TV.
The entire central technique is integrated in six vibration-damped 19″ flight case racks. Part of this production unit is a support van on a Mercedes Actros 1522 chassis. The support van is designed for the transport of the flight cases and any additional production equipment.
The OB vans are scheduled for delivery in April 2015 while the flight case studio is expected to be delivered next month.
Speaking about the project, BFE Project Manager Detlef Eckert commented: “We are proud to realise such an extensive project for Oman TV. Throughout the project implementation, we are also pleased to enjoy a smooth and professional collaboration with our partner UBMS.”
