Community and rural coverage
Cost-effective transmission for residential districts, villages and remote areas, where the run to the antenna is long and coverage has to hold over distance.
Overview
Broadcast television
Coverage projects are decided by geography. The headend is the simple part; what determines whether the service works is the path from the transmit antenna to the receiver, and the terrain in between.
That is why we ask for a coverage map and the approximate radius before quoting. The same headend can need a different output level, a different antenna or an additional site depending on the answer.

Design
What decides the design
Four things that change the specification more than the equipment list does.
- Terrain and radius Send the coverage map or an approximate radius. Obstructions matter more than distance, and they decide the output level.
- Output level and licensing Transmit power is set by local regulation. Tell us the country and we will confirm the permissible configuration.
- Power availability Remote sites often have unstable or limited power. The equipment range covers both AC and DC arrangements.
- Weather and housing Outside-plant equipment has to survive the local climate. Specify the environment and we will confirm the enclosure rating.
Typical configurations
Indicative starting points. Send us the actual figures and we will come back with a real configuration.
| Coverage | Radius | Carriers | Sites |
|---|---|---|---|
| Village | Under 2 km | 8–16 | Single site |
| Residential district | 2–10 km | 16–32 | Single site, higher power |
| Rural region | 10 km+ | 32+ | Multiple sites or repeaters |
Describe the site and we will design it
Tell us the scale, the location and what the network has to do. Our engineers will come back with a configuration and a factory price.
