Dubai-based Arabian Radio Network recently undertook a massive upgrade of its transmission system to ensure better quality transmission of its signals. The project was undertaken by systems integrator Rohde and Schwarz.
This upgrade was required because of the changing landscape in Dubai, stated Steve Smith, COO of ARN.
Our system was located on what used to be the second tallest building in Dubai seven years ago but given that the emirate now has much taller buildings, we realised there were significant black holes in the region in our coverage. The upgrade has lifted the quality of our broadcast right across the UAE, especially Dubai.
ARN built its transmission system at a new location. Rohde and Schwarz has provided the complete transmission system for eight channels although the system can be expanded to be utilised for ten channels. It was also responsible for integrating the combiners and antennas that were supplied by German manufacturer Kathrein.
The network went to air with its new system earlier this year.
