Megahertz and AZCAR win £4.7m contract for Fiji TV

Systems Integration specialists, Megahertz Broadcast Systems and Technology Integration company, AZCAR, have announced that they have won a £4.7 million contract for the design, equipment procurement and systems integration of a new satellite-based program delivery service for Fiji TV, based in Suva, Fiji.
This contract follows an earlier feasibility study by AZCAR and includes studio facility upgrades, a new uplink, conditional access system, set-top boxes and related hardware. The system is scheduled to be in service by the summer.
Cambridge-based Megahertz, who forged links with AZCAR back in 2003, when the Canadian company acquired an 80% shareholding, will provide the consolidation and integration of the system, which is being pre-built and shipped to Fiji for installation. The operation will bring a new level of television services to the Fiji islands, some of which will have access, for the first time, to live local programming.
Stephen Pumple, President and CEO of AZCAR, said: “We are very please to be working with Fiji TV on this new project and look forward to our continuing association with them and their developing broadcast and media plans.”
Frances Jarvis, Commercial Director for Megahertz, said: Our close link with AZCAR has enabled us to exploit markets where we would have had some difficulties before. This new deal is exactly the type of project we had in mind when making our association with the company and we hope that there will be many more like this in the future. We are very much looking forward to working with Fiji TV on this exciting project.”
Fiji Television was formed in 1994 to operate both Free-to-Air and Pay TV services in Fiji. Fiji TV is situated in Suva and is the sole commercial television operator now serving the Fiji Islands.
Megahertz Broadcast Systems, established in 1982, is acknowledged as one of the premier independent broadcasting system integrators in the world.
