The first new cutting-edge OB Van arrived at the Information Affairs Authority (IAA), as per an agreement signed with the Turkish Pals Electronic, which consists in buying three high-tech vehicles for external telecasting, operating with the High Definition (HD) technology.
The new vehicles will be used in covering all official functions, exhibitions and sporting events.
IAA will receive the two other vehicles next December.
IAA President Shaikh Fawaz bin Mohammed Al Khalifa stressed the authority’s resolve to carry on with its development projects and programmes by modernizing its equipment so as to cope with the fast-paced technological boom in the media and telecommunications fields.
He also underlined IAA readiness to cover the 33rd tournament of the Supreme GCC Council and Khaleeji 21 which will be hosted by Manama.
