Broadcast company News-Press & Gazette chooses to upgrade with technology provider Rohde & Schwarz.
In a significant move to enhance transmission efficiency, improve reliability, and reduce operating costs, the News-Press & Gazette Co. (NPG) has partnered with Rohde & Schwarz to upgrade its TV broadcast infrastructure. The partnership, spearheaded by Erik Balladares, Vice President of Sales, North America, Broadcast Distribution at Rohde & Schwarz, involves the deployment of the advanced THU9evo transmitter[1].
The THU9evo transmitter, a product of Rohde & Schwarz, is a high-power solution designed to address the challenges faced by broadcasters, including efficient, reliable, and high-performance transmission systems. Its liquid-cooled design contributes to improved efficiency and cost savings, making it an ideal choice for modern broadcast infrastructures[2].
The NPG transmitter site, located on a mountain in a high desert tundra, experiences extreme weather conditions, ranging from over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in summer to sub-zero temperatures in winter. Despite these harsh conditions, the THU9evo transmitter has demonstrated rock-solid performance, ensuring reliable access to news and information[3].
James Crawford, Director of Engineering and Operations at NPG, has confirmed that the THU9evo transmitter has led to reduced power costs. Its improved transmission efficiency has significantly contributed to these savings[4]. The THU9evo transmitter also boasts twice the power output of the transmitter it replaced, further enhancing NPG's broadcast capabilities[5].
The partnership between Rohde & Schwarz and NPG is not only about upgrading the transmission infrastructure. Rohde & Schwarz is looking forward to supporting the broadcast needs of NPG moving forward[6]. NPG owns TV stations in 10 markets in the Midwest and western United States, and this partnership is expected to strengthen their broadcast operations.
