Barcelona, Spain – February 9, 2026 – TVU Networks, a global leader in live video solutions, has signed a major contract with a Spanish government agency following the successful completion of a major aerial transmission project.

The work focused on integrating TVU One with external antennas into a helicopter, in collaboration with Europavia, the aviation integrator responsible for ensuring all required certifications.

To validate the solution, Europavia and TVU designed a series of demanding flight trials in very challenging environments. The first missions took place over Canary islands, where long stretches of open water are notorious for disrupting connectivity. The second phase moved to Madrid, one of Europe’s most congested cellular landscapes, where interference from thousands of antennas makes stable transmission especially challenging. Across both scenarios—and even during climbs to a record altitude of 3,300 feet — TVU One performed with remarkable consistency, maintaining transmission where conventional systems would have failed.

After evaluating transmission solutions from several manufacturers, the Spanish government agency chose TVU Networks for its consistent performance across all test scenarios—delivering stable, high-quality results at varying altitudes and under the most demanding conditions.

The agreement covers the deployment of 18 TVU One transmitters and 5 TVU Transceivers, providing the client with a reliable foundation for live video transmission in critical operations.

For government and enterprise applications, live video transmission isn’t optional, it’s mission-critical,” said Rafael Castillo, VP/GM EMEA and LATAM at TVU Networks. “This project is a clear example of how TVU technology not only provides the stability required for critical missions but also ensures the highest level of transmission security. Delivering consistent, secure performance even in challenging aerial environments is fundamental to the success of implementations like this one.

Selected through a competitive evaluation for real-world, mission-critical deployment, this program establishes a new reference point for secure aerial live video and expands the role of IP-based transmission across government and enterprise operations.
