The RumJungle Media team is proud to announce the newest addition to our line of customer focused services for our news and entertainment clients - our new DSNG satellite uplink truck.
Our truck is unlike any other truck on the road today, encompassing reliability and connectivity features that no one other truck can match. More importantly, it is a way for us to offer complete "one-stop" shopping for all our client's video journalism needs - from ENG crews on the scene with the latest cameras, comprehensive on-site production, and technical support, all the way through to satellite truck operations.
If there is one thing that we at RumJungle have learned in 15 years of working the news circuit it is this - it's all about consistent results. When we gathered the elements to design our truck we focused on the following important features that will set our truck, and RumJungle Media in general, apart from the rest.
Remember, when we say "No Worries", we mean it!
