In addition, BTS is the only Irish Radio Broadcast Engineering company to own and operate two satellite O/B vehicles, which are contracted at weekends to broadcast the Live Mass and COI Services for RTE Radio One Extra, each week broadcasting from a different church location all over Ireland.  During the week our satellite vehicles are made available to local radio broadcasters to facilitate live O/B’s from locations that would otherwise not be possible around Ireland.

BTS have also worked outside of Ireland, building two national radio stations in Jordan in the Middle East, designing studios, transmission, satellite connectivity and installing the FM transmission equipment at sites across Jordan.
