MillimeterHarris Corporation Strikes Multi-Million Dollar TV Transmission and Turnkey Services Deal
Jun 15, 2006 2:14 PM
Harris Corporation's (NYSE: HRS) Broadcast Communications Division announced that PT Marlin Trisiana has purchased a Harris TV transmission system that will provide over-the-air service to all of Indonesia on behalf of its customer, ANTV, a terrestrial TV network there.
Delivery of the $6.9 million system begins this month, with a planned launch in late October. Harris will provide analog transmitters and spare parts, along with turnkey services for commissioning the transmission sites. PT Marlin Trisiana, a broadcast systems integrator based in Jakarta, will deliver the Harris transmission equipment, supply tower and antenna systems, and provide civil works.
The installation of a world-class transmission system will enable ANTV to deliver high-quality, over-to-the-air signals across Indonesia.
Harris will deliver two 120 kW Sigma analog transmitters, one each to sites in Jakarta and Surabuya where the bulk of the station's broadcast signals will originate. Eight sets of 20 kW and nine sets of 5 kW Atlas analogue transmitters will be delivered to other sites in the country.
"With the new transmission system, ANTV will be able to bring a new level of signal quality to its viewers," said Dale Mowry, vice president and general manager of Harris Broadcast Division's Television Broadcast Systems business unit. "Harris is honored to have been chosen for this important effort, and we would also like to extend our congratulations to PT Marlin Trisiana for its contributions throughout the course of this key project."
