Moving within the UHF band or from UHF to the VHF band will present challenges and opportunities to TV broadcasters who must comply with the FCC repack mandate. It is a good time for broadcasters to begin thinking about their RF infrastructure. The R&S THU9evo high-power transmitters from Rohde & Schwarz give them an easy, scalable upgrade path to ATSC 3.0 and significantly reduce their cost of ownerhsip (TCO). The company has already supported many countries in transitioning to digital standards. In March 2017, Rohde & Schwarz was the major transmitter supplier in the successful, large-scale DVB-T2 rollout in Germany. Thanks to the transmitters and the service support for one of the largest switchover procedures in German broadcast history, the rollout ran smoothly and took only one night. The company will showcase its solutions in booth SL1205 at NAB 2017 in Las Vegas from April 22 to April 27.
