4. Stand-ups in the IMC and at the Port of Hamburg
There are plans to have one stand-up inside the Media Centre (in Hall B2) and one outside (in front of Hall B1).

Basic accreditation is sufficient to be able to use the stand-up in Hall B2.

The Special Pass will only be available temporarily and must be handed back to the provider once the stand-up is finished.

In order to be able to use the stand-up in Hall B2 and at the Port of Hamburg, you needed to register your transmission technology, citing the vehicle model, registration number, dimensions [height, width and length], weight, power requirement and alignment to satellite
by Wednesday, 31 May 2017, 16:00
by contacting the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government (see above).
The deadline has now passed.
N.B.
We urgently recommend that all TV stations interested in a stand-up use the services of the above providers, as there is not enough space for us to provide pitches for all unilateral transmission vehicles on the exhibition grounds. You will also be unable to set up and use fly aways on the exhibition grounds.
N.B.
You need to plan for more than 500 m of cable for SNG in the IMC and the port area.
5. Radio frequencies
All electronic media representatives (TV, radio, online etc.) must register the radio frequencies they will be using with the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). Using frequencies without valid registration constitutes a regulatory offence and is punishable with a fine. Radio frequencies which have not been registered may be blocked.
