Vietnam Television calls on Jampro for VHF and UHF antennas
Published: ASIA
VIETNAM: Jampro Antennas has recently been awarded another contract by Vietnam Television (VTV) to supply two high-power broadband antennas, one for VHF band III transmission, the other for UHF. Both antennas will provide coverage of CanTho, the fifth largest city in Vietnam, and the largest city in the Mekong delta.
‘This follows a major 2011 order for ten Jampro DVB-T (Digital TV) antenna systems that were installed at sites located throughout the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,’ said Alex M Perchevitch, Jampro president. ‘For many years, we supplied Voice of Vietnam (VOV), the founder of VTV, with radio broadcast antennas. That excellent relationship and the proven field performance of our equipment led to this latest award.’
The JHD-HV4 is ideal for VTV’s broadband/multi-channel operations, meanwhile the
JUHD UHF antenna was selected by VTV for two primary reasons: due to a modular design, it gives VTV flexibility to configure various elevation patterns so coverage can be customised to suit the topographical challenges of Vietnam, which range from flat deltas to mountainous areas exceeding 3,000m. VTV engineers worked with Jampro’s technical staff to customize patterns to optimise coverage for the sites.
Secondly, the JUHD antenna’s stainless steel construction has proven reliable in hot, wet tropical climates. Jampro is also providing its own manufactured Proline brand of rigid transmission line for both installations and related RF components.
