Rohde & Schwarz DigitalTelevision Transmission Systems
Digital Television TransmittersA unique opportunity has arisen to acquire a range of Rohde & Schwarz Digital Television Transmitters designed to a high specification and maintained in excellent condition. They are offered for sale by private treaty throughRamco [UK] Limited, a specialist asset disposal business.
The migration to digital television and clearance of the 800 MHz frequency bands in the UK were hugely successful projects. This equipment was used in one of the later phases of work to release the 800 MHzcapacity for use by the mobile telephone industry. All of the transmitters were designed and engineered to provide high levels of availability and reliability during the complex re-engineering of the UK domestic television network and have been maintained to a high standard by Arqiva, the UK’s specialist transmission provider.
UseageThe equipment is ideally suited for a number of uses, including:
Standby TX capability, easily transported to deal with TX outages
Temporary TX facilities during a re-engineering project
Individual stand-alone transmitters (would require removal from containers)
High quality spares
History and BackgroundIn December 2009 the United Kingdom became the first nation in the world to use the new DVB-T2 standard to broadcast a free-to-air, high-definition (HD) terrestrial digital television service. The terrestrial transmitter network used to broadcast the new service, Freeview HD, is owned and operated by Arqiva, the communications infrastructure and media services company. Rohde & Schwarz and NEC were commissioned to provide DVB-T2 technology for part of the new network. Utilizing world-class technological expertise and resources in the field of broadcasting, a standby transmission network was developed enabling a DVB-T2 solution to be provided during the switchover period.
Viewing & InspectionThe equipment has been assessed by various transmission engineers, all of whom have been impressed by the quality and overall condition of the equipment. Ramco therefore welcomes and will assist with any independent inspection that a potential buyer may wish to undertake. The equipment is excellent condition and currently lying in a secure storage facility near Skegness. Potential buyers should make an appointment to view via [email protected]
Additional InformationTechnical & Strategic AdviceIn their current configuration the transmitters are of capable of immediate use in regions adopting DVB-T and DVB-T2 (Europe, Africa and much of Asia). Subject to modification either by upgrading the software and/or the exciters they may also be used in regions using ATSC or ISDB-T. Potential purchasers should check with the transmitter manufacturers about modifying the transmitters. A variety of technical advice and support including any software or equipment upgrades are available from original equipment manufacturer.
