On May 9, 2010 Romantis GmbH participated in the organization of the direct television feeds from Germany of the Channel One Russia’s mobile satellite station. Reports were dedicated to the 65th Anniversary of World War II End and were transmitted via Intelsat 904 (60 degr. East, Spot 1).

The mobile studio of the Channel One Russia was deployed in Berlin and conducted transmissions from locations, where the last front of World War II was passed. During the day in the news issues the multiple feeds of the correspondents of the Channel One Russia were transmitted from the Seelow Heights, the Treptow Park and the Reichstag building.

“For Romantis this work consisted not only in the provision of satellite capacity and rendering of license support in the territory of Germany to our old client Channel One Russia, but also was important technical experiment”, noted Managing Director of Romantis GmbH Dr. Harald W. Stange. “For the first time, being located on the very edge of the coverage zone of the Intelsat 904 satellite, the high-quality signal was transmitted from the mobile station from Germany to Moscow. Once again, we were convinced of the unique characteristics of this spacecraft, which will allow us to continue work with the Russian companies, interested in the direct television transmissions from Europe via this satellite".
