SINGAPORE: Jampro Antennas has recently been awarded a major broadcast equipment contract by MediaCorp, which will see the brand provide the broadcaster with a complete system comprised of a JUHD broadband UHF panel antenna and a complex switching and patching matrix. This is in order to integrate MediaCorp’s three main towers – serving Singapore and the Malay Peninsula.
Jampro will provide a broadband UHF panel antenna with dual runs of high power transmission line, a dual chain digital UHF combiner, comprising 12 constant impedance modules and cross-site patching matrix system, which allows transmission on different antennas/towers. Included in the order is a 48-panel JUHD UHF panel antenna, which can handle multiple channels DVB-T/H or analogue, PAL signals on UHF bands IV and V. To combine signals MediaCorp specified Jampro model DVB-T/T2 UHF constant impedance mask filter/combining modules.
‘We are very pleased and proud to be working with Singapore’s leading media organisation on their critical infrastructure,’ said Alex M Perchevitch, Jampro’s president. ‘Fortunately, our extensive product line covers all of the necessary components. Moreover, we can ensure high performance because we are handling the entire installation in Bukit Batok, the primary broadcast site for Singapore and one of the most critical sites for Singapore, Malay Peninsula, and Indonesian Archipelago.
‘We build our JUHD antennas with stainless steel and aluminium,’ he added. ‘That gives MediaCorp long term value and durable performance in their tropical rainforest climate.’
