IT-ATS can receive satellite downlinks for your company or department.
Downlinks offer good picture and audio quality and are a great way for large
groups of people to attend special events, symposia, or training events.
Our facilities can accommodate up to 100 people.
If you require more space, we can broadcast the signal over our campus cable TV network that reaches to every cable TV outlet on the Newark campus.
Events are recorded to DVD for later playback.

IT-ATS has a satellite dish unit located on the main University of Delaware campus in Newark, Delaware. It is capable of receiving both analog and digital KU band signals.
