Hiltron Communications, a globally active satellite system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, reports a year of technical innovation throughout 2022.

A highlight project in Q2 was the completion of a satellite uplink and downlink system for one of Germany's largest television news broadcasters. This included six antennas plus control infrastructure for communicating with the network's associate organisations around the world. Hiltron software allows the system to be supervised via a single GUI showing all relevant performance parameters, confidence lights and alerts. De-icers in the antenna panels can be activated automatically if the rooftop temperature creates any risk of freezing. All six of the new antennas are being used to capture incoming signals. Hiltron also refurbished three existing antennas which function both as uplinks and downlinks. That part of the project included the provision and integration of Hiltron ACU antenna control units which are used to set the dish azimuth and elevation.

“Sex and the City” (SATC) has been a beloved series since it first debuted nearly 25 years ago. The series captured not just the lives of its famed ensemble (Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte), but also the pulse and energy of its fifth characterNew York City. Fast forward two movies and an HBO Max reboot of the series called “And Just Like That,” and the ladies of SATC are once again very much in vogue. So much so that in 2019 HBO decided to remaster all six seasons of SATC. Today, all 94 episodes are completely restored in UHD HDR Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
