Vistas del centro Axión Madrid - Pozuelo

Visit by Master’s Students from the IE School of Science and Technology to the Axión Center in Madrid–Pozuelo

As part of the collaboration agreement between Axión and the IE School of Science and Technology, and as part of the sponsorship of master’s thesis projects, on February 3, 2023, Axión welcomed students from the Master’s in Big Data (MBD) program to its Madrid–Pozuelo facility.

During the visit, they were accompanied by Axión staff members: Fernando Blanco (Production Expert), Amelia Acosta (Infrastructure Project Manager), and Juan Rubio (Director of Radio Links), who explained how a broadcasting and telecommunications center—the backbone of today’s communications networks—functions and is operated.

Both the broadcasting of audiovisual signals—radio and television—and the transmission of telephone signals require the necessary infrastructure to ensure service continuity.

Axión, as an infrastructure operator, demonstrated the resources it has in place to make this possible. These range from the use of a generator set—which ensures the power supply essential for equipment operation—to the ability to receive direct current via rectifiers, with batteries available to compensate for any minor power interruptions that may occur.

In equipment rooms and shelters, ventilation and cooling systems are in place to ensure proper climate control, which is essential for the correct operation of transmission equipment.

Both towers and masts are equipped with safety systems and comply with current regulations, ensuring that they are properly maintained and suitable for the installation and operation of equipment.

At Axión, we are delighted to be able to demonstrate, in a real-world setting, how the knowledge acquired in these subjects comes together in a professional environment. We are very grateful to IE School of Science and Technology for their interest and for bringing this group to visit our facilities.
