All India Radio adds to massive digital
radio deployment with four 100 kW and two 200 kW NX transmitters.
Hackett’s Cove, Nova Scotia – Nautel
Limited has shipped six additional high-power DRM-enabled MW transmitters for
deployment at All India Radio, the largest digital broadcasting system in the
world. Four 100 kW NX100 and two 200 kW NX200 transmitters were shipped to India
in July 2017 for installation in six cities. The transmitters will be
commissioned by Nautel’s in-country partner Comcon in association with India’s
Prasar Bharati.
The July, 2017 shipment of 6 NX
transmitters complements the 27 NX transmitters which are already on air with
DRM transmission throughout India. The massive project has the goal of bringing
digital radio to nearly a billion residents of the country. The new transmitters
will be installed at All India Radio (AIR) facilities in Hyderabad, Jagdalpur,
Vishakhapatnam, Bhawanipatna, Jeypore and Sambalpur. All 33 transmitters in the
AIR project are configured for DRM30 operation.
Nautel NX high power transmitters
occupy a very small footprint and offer the industry’s highest efficiency (90%)
along with AM precorrection, unmatched linearity and Nautel’s exclusive,
award-winning Advanced User Interface which provides commercial grade
instrumentation, spectrum analyzer, logging, presets, local and remote
transmitter control, email notifications and enhanced support services.
“Nautel is excited to partner with
Comcon and Prasar Bharati on this extensive project,” said Kevin Rodgers, Nautel
President and CEO. “With this system fully deployed in all parts of India, AIR
is uniquely positioned to serve the different dialects and regional needs of its
billion listeners. It’s a shining example of the capabilities digital
broadcasting can provide throughout the world.”
Nautel MW and FM transmitters will be
demonstrated at the upcoming IBC show in Amsterdam on stand 8.C49. For more
