Broadcast News Van Application

Broadcast News Vans and Trucks use Janus POTSwaps
for their Cellular Communication

Electronic News-Gathering (ENG) or Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG) vehicles incorporate control consoles that often include standard telephone handsets for remote location communications. These telephone handsets are generally used by producers and technicians to contact the studio for support and coordination. Unfortunately, POTS (plain old telephone service) lines cannot be made available to these vehicles in their remote locations as POTS service is expensive, unreliable and totally unsuited for short-term remote location applications.

The Janus POTSwap solves the broadcast news van and truck telephone dilemma quickly, easily and inexpensively. The truck or van console telephone handset is simply plugged into the POTSwap via its standard RJ-11 port. Install antennas and plug in power and the POTSwap is ready to make telephone calls over the cellular network of your choice. 

Janus has cellular plans available from the major carriers to support any installation.  POTSwap hardware promotions and upgrade specials are available now to make it easier than ever to upgrade emergency and remote telephone equipment.

And the POTSwap beat goes on…and on…and on!
