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.

Resilient broadcasting

Designed to stay on air 24/7

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.

Robust transmitter design

Our transmitter platform is designed for reliable operation. We are utilizing high-quality components and avoid thermal stress for these parts, which is central to the system’s robustness. Furthermore, we are minimizing the impact of external factors, protecting sensitive electronics and ensuring long-term performance.

Smart systems

Rohde & Schwarz transmitters feature self-monitoring capabilities to assess operational status and predict potential issues that could impact performance. The system automatically notifies operators of any detected anomalies, enabling proactive maintenance and optimizing transmitter lifespan and operational efficiency.

Protection from cyber threats

Cyber-threats pose a significant risk to broadcasters, as all IP-connected systems are inherently vulnerable. Rohde & Schwarz offers expert IT security solutions and proactive maintenance, supporting operators in ensuring network safety.

"Securing your future success means choosing a resilient transmitter platform designed for adaptability. Our transmitters provide long-term reliability and protection from both technical failures and cyber threats, achieved through robust design, self-monitoring systems, and robust IT security measures."

Maurice Uhlmann, Product Manager Transmitter Systems at Rohde & Schwarz
