GatesAir Secures New Projects

News Image
GatesAir has secured three project wins in the Asia-Pacific region. The wins, across digital television and FM radio, are in Vietnam.

An early adopter of DVB-T2 digital television, national broadcaster Vietnam Television (VTV) recently placed two orders for transmitter network expansions. The first project involves four GatesAir Maxiva UHF solid-state high-efficiency transmitters – three ULXT liquid-cooled models and one UAXT air-cooled model – for unspecified VTV channels. The second project is specific to VTV5, a specialty channel serving ethnic minority communities. This project comprises two Maxiva ULXT liquid-cooled transmitters.

With regards to radio, national radio broadcaster Voice of Vietnam (VOV) ordered five Flexiva air-cooled solid-state transmitters – two 5kW and three 10kW models – for VOV4, which serves as the broadcaster's Ethnic Languages Channel. All three projects also include turnkey equipment, installation and commissioning services.

Darren Frearson, vice president of Sales, EMEA and APAC for GatesAir, said: "As Vietnam moves toward its 2020 target to complete its national DVB-T2 network rollout, we are working closely with our regional channel partner, Broadcast Information Development Corporation – Joint Stock Company (EMICO., JSC), to accelerate transmission system expansion projects for VTV. Additionally, our global expertise in managing AM, FM and digital radio network deployments worldwide ensures that VOV will receive turnkey systems that can be quickly delivered and deployed, with ongoing ease of operation and maintenance. Above all, our high-efficiency solutions will help ensure the ideal balance of low total cost of ownership and high performance over the lifecycle of the transmitters."

Ngoc Thanh, Director of Technical Center for EMICO., JSC, added: "The new Maxiva liquid-cooled transmitters are highly stable and, more importantly, will save VTV money. They use so much less power and are very easy to maintain. We see this as an important technological development from GatesAir in support of lower-cost operations. We see many opportunities with GatesAir moving forward, including multichannel DTV services across the remaining DVB-T2 rollout, and many new transmitter installations following the selection of a digital radio standard."
