provides help for Community stations
Often overlooked on cost grounds, we are now offering existing
Community stations the ability to have a back-up
transmitter without
affording expensive equipment. From around £1.20 a day (automated
monthly leasing payments), community stations can - like commercial
stations - have full peace of mind, and not risk potential down-time
damaging the station's income and credibility. A number of levels of
redundancy are on offer, including fully automated back-up systems.

Community Orders

advising customers to contact us early, so that we can schedule their
order.
2 April 2008 - Digital
Repeater trials now on-air
A customer trial of our TX
Digicast DAB/DMB echo-cancelling repeater
is currently on-air in a major UK city, proving the unit's ability to provide
a very cost effective way to densify and expand coverage. The
all-in-one repeater receives a distant DAB signal and rebroadcasts it on
the same frequency, with up to 100W of DAB power. With the siginicant
cap-Ex and on-going cost of telecoms omitted, the TX-DAB100/OCR is
set to revolutionise DAB transmission. The trial is in co-operation with
Ofcom and the BBC, and the repeater technology uses licensed
echo-cancelling techniques designed by the BBC.
