Harris 3DX and DX® AM transmitters will offer stronger
signals that will reach a larger population.
Harris will deliver high-power AM transmitters to stations
in Harar (3DX-D100, 100 kW) and Mekele
(DX®-D200, 200 kW) this fall through Technology
Systems and Solutions, a Harris dealer representative
based in Ethiopia. The transmitters, which are ready
for DRM and HD Radio conversion, will deliver a higher
quality signal to a large part of the country highly
important for a population that relies on radio for
news and information in addition to entertainment. The
new transmission system will dramatically improve the
quality of AM radio transmissions throughout the country
by the end of 2006.
According
to Alemayehu Atomsa, general manager of ERTA, Harris
was selected for its ability to offer turnkey systems
and services, technical superiority and the company's
ongoing presence in Ethiopian radio facilities.
The
transmitters to be delivered under this contract have
a proven record of reliability and high efficiency
with installations around the world. This operational
efficiency ultimately reduces costs for the broadcaster.
Further promoting cost-efficiency, Harris will deliver
the transmitters as the central piece of a turnkey
package featuring antennas/towers, transmission line
and additional RF equipment. Harris will also provide
civil work and integration services leading up to
installation.
Harris
has long been active in Ethiopia, with more than 40
transmitters currently installed in radio facilities
around the country. Many broadcasters across Africa
have recently upgraded their facilities. Radio is
the best means of communication for many African countries,
and therefore it is crucial to maintain a healthy
transmission infrastructure.
