Making Broadcast History

LiveTX made broadcast history on December 8th 1999, demonstrating its pioneering Remote Broadcast Unit to BBC1's Tomorrow's World.

LiveTX were searching for a location that epitomised remoteness. The options soon narrowed down to a choice between Timbuktu or Outer Mongolia.

Journeying to Mongolia would involve three flights, jeeps and camels, to arrive at our accommodation, a traditional Ger, providing a perfect test of portability and content for an attempt at the World's first remote live streaming video pictures to be sent across the Internet.
