Investing in next-gen transmission infrastructure for the long haul (10+ year lifecycles) poses a significant challenge. To thrive over such an extended period, decisions must prioritize flexibility and agility, adapting to evolving broadcast standards, services, and viewer habits.
Key considerations include whole-life efficiency, minimal maintenance downtime, and optimal power consumption – essential for long-term operational success.
Key components to uninterrupted broadcasting
Inherent reliability is crucial to minimize interruptions and revenue loss. Our transmitter design prioritizes 24/7 high availability through proactive resilience and self-reliant operation, minimizing operator intervention.
Key to this is liquid cooling, reducing maintenance compared to traditional air conditioning, alongside sealed, fanless amplifiers eliminating corrosion risks. An intelligent control system automates functions and autonomously solves problems, ensuring optimal performance and a resilient, cost-effective broadcast future.
The 10- to 15-year lifecycle of a transmitter poses significant challenges in generating consistent revenue and profits, with evolving requirements, enhanced functionality, and a dynamic IT security landscape all impacting investment returns.
As a trusted broadcast industry leader, Rohde & Schwarz addresses these challenges by developing high-quality, future-proof functionality with attention to detail, while providing comprehensive lifetime support that minimizes operational costs and protects your capital investment, ultimately aiming to substantially reduce operator risk across the entire transmitter lifecycle.
