TV SIM, the SBT affiliate serving Esp rito Santo state in Brazil, has launched a transmitter upgrade initiative with the installation of a Rohde & Schwarz R&S TE1 television transmitter. This marks the first deployment of this innovative and flexible model in Latin America and the first operation utilizing the ISDB-Tb transmission standard.
TV SIM, headquartered in Esp rito Santo and part of Grupo SIM sought a new transmitter to expand coverage around Vit ria. After evaluating available options, TV SIM selected the R&S TE1 for its superior operational efficiency and robust, reliable design.
The R&S TE1 is a modular, liquid-cooled transmitter capable of delivering high power. Currently configured for 5.4 kW radiated power, its modular architecture allows for scalable upgrades to meet future needs. This, combined with its digital architecture, ensures future-proofing against evolving broadcast requirements.
The R&S TE1's advanced design provides significantly improved efficiency, typically reducing energy costs by 15% compared to comparable transmitters. Liquid cooling further enhances efficiency by dissipating up to 90% of generated heat directly to the atmosphere, minimizing the need for power-intensive air conditioning. As a result, the R&S TE1 typically achieves a 40% lower carbon footprint than alternative solutions.
Efficiency is a critical factor in the long-term cost of ownership for any transmitter, said Jo o Resegue, Chief Executive Officer of Rede SIM. Rohde & Schwarz is a trusted brand with a strong presence in Latin America, and they demonstrated substantial gains in both efficiency and sustainability. We are confident in their reliability and design as we look toward the future.
Silvia Sanz, Regional Sales Director LATAM at Rohde & Schwarz, added, Our extensive experience in transmitter construction and close relationships with broadcasters globally allow us to understand and address the challenges operators face. Efficiency and sustainability are paramount moving forward.
She continued, We focused on maximizing energy efficiency not only through advanced electronics but also through ease of operation and maintenance. The resilient, modular structure of our transmitters reduces the need for extensive engineering support. TV SIM recognized the value of this approach, and we are pleased to see our first high-efficiency ISDB-Tb installation go live.
The new R&S TE1 transmitter was commissioned for live broadcasting by the end of this year with support from Rohde & Schwarz.
