The technology of a challenge


Antennas of the Intelsis radiolink transmitter to transmit en route.
 

     Thanks to the technological support offered by the Xunta de Galicia and the development created by the Galician telecommunications enterprise Intelsis, ours was the first expedition in the world able to send live images from the Mt Kangchenjunga (Himalayas).

     Most of the world TV channels broadcasted in their news bulletins images filmed by this expedition, what meant a great achievement for this sport, which is hardly ever mentioned in general information programs.
