OTA Transmitters Reach New Heights of Efficiency
Several drivers have influenced manufacturers to design more efficient over-the-air (OTA) transmitters, including government regulations, socially conscious corporate mandates, and general operating cost reduction. The ultimate goal for vendors like GatesAir is to deliver high-efficiency, over-the-air systems that deliver low total cost of ownership for their customers.
This white paper looks at the latest generation models of OTA transmitters, such as the GatesAir Maxiva UHF range of transmitters with PowerSmart 3D technology, and how they are playing a role in OTA broadcasting’s progression through higher efficiency designs. This not only includes energy consumption. It is further based on a new modular system approach that relies heavily on software, making these systems easier to operate and maintain. This means that the OTA transmitter will continue to be a major asset for broadcasters everywhere.
