Algerian broadcaster Télédiffusion d’Algérie has enlisted Switzerland-based
company Ampegon to install shortwave transmission systems at two sites in
Bechar and Ouargla. These new transmitters will enable TDA to broadcast
shortwave without utilizing third-party vendors, says the company. Ampegon will
develop turnkey solutions at both sites including two 300 kW shortwave
transmitters, two shortwave antenna systems and civil works. The project is
estimated to be completed at the end of 2016. Ampegon, in cooperation with
Transradio, previously installed a 1.5 MW longwave transmission system in
Algeria near Tipaza, and is presently modernizing two medium-wave transmitter
stations in Bechar and Oulet Fayed.
