This is a part of a tender documentation, I am no specialist in this area and I am not sure about the correct terminology.

Many thanks in advance

Uta Kappler Dec 8, 2011:
occasionell (or okkasionell) in this context probably has the meaning of "zeitweise" (temporary, as Trudy already suggested). I assume that the transmission channels/methods/means are only needed for a specific time window to cover a specific location, after that ths show moves on to the next location.
Trudy Peters Dec 8, 2011:
@Diana I agree that it probably does not mean 'occasional' in this context ("false friend"). 'Temporary' may work, maybe even 'alternative'??
Let's see what others have to say.
Diana Zehetner (asker) Dec 8, 2011:
I am just wondering if occasionelle does not mean in this context temporary...

temporary transmission lines/links

From the link below:

"Media & Broadcasts's "Broadcast Contribution Networks" provide links between multiple television and radio studios, and recording facilities, enabling the efficient exchange of television and radio content. Services include temporary transmission lines and outside broadcast units (such as, for live news reporting, sports coverage, open-air concerts) as well as permanent television and radio transmission links."

agree Trudy Peters : That's probably it. Actually, the asker suggested that herself.

Thanks! She got the temporary part right, but my answer adds lines/links.

occasional transmission methods

why not simply this - transmission methods are definitely Übertragungswege

I agree with the discussion - temporary transmission method would be right
