E-N-G Mobile Systems Corporate Profile
E-N-G Mobile Systems, Inc. got its start more than 25 years ago when a local broadcaster in Oakland California, KTVU, contacted Jack Harris, then owner of an RV repair service in Concord CA, to help design a specialty vehicle. With the recent advancement of portable TV equipment, the station wanted to develop a mobile TV system for delivery of television signals from remote locations, back to the TV station, via microwave radio transmission. Harris responded to the challenge by building the first electronic news gathering, (ENG), vehicle on the west coast, and formed a new company, E-N-G Corporation. E-N-G Corporation sold that first van to KTVU TV in 1977, and then soon built another truck for KPIX in San Francisco. Shortly thereafter E-N-G was selling vehicles throughout the country, as the immediacy of mobile television News became an integral element broadcast journalism.
Over the years, E-N-G Corp. pioneered many engineering and design breakthroughs for the mobile TV News industry, earning a reputation for innovation and creativity. In 1988 Dick A. Glass purchased the company and changed its name to E-N-G Mobile Systems, Inc. and broadened the company’s product line to include vehicles for the Mobile Laboratory market as well as specialty mobile vehicles for testing of Cellular Telephone infrastructure, and Infrared Testing applications. In addition, over the past couple of years, E-N-G has taken a leadership position in developing and producing vehicles for the Homeland Security market.
Building on its past achievements, E-N-G Mobile Systems has become a leader in innovation and creation of new products for the ever increasing, diverse mobile technology marketplace. The company’s ability to take sophisticated, complex ideas, and translate them into user friendly, easy to operate mobile systems, is at the core of the E-N-G’s continued success. |
