Award for Satellie Antennae Product
April 2012
Earlier this year US satellite service provider, Dish, won the Design and Innovation award at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas for its Tailgater satellite device.
Dish is a customer of BNL’s own customer, King Controls, and the award-winning product contains a BNL bearing.
The Tailgater is named after ‘tailgate parties’, which are held around the open tailgate of vehicles in stadiums and arena car parks.

Congratulations to King Controls on their successful involvement in this new and popular product.
