Harris Secures Multi-Million Dollar Digital TV Transmission Contract in Bulgaria
NURTS Digital EAD selects vendor for digital TV transition
MELBOURNE, FLA. and DENVER — Bulgarian TV transmission network operator
NURTS Digital EAD has awarded Harris a nearly $8 million contract to transition
the country to DVB-T over-the-air digital television. The project will
spread services into more sparsely populated rural areas and represents the
completion of Bulgaria’s TV digitization strategy as the government moves
toward an analog TV switch-off date in early 2013.
Harris, in cooperation with its Bulgarian dealer, New Tek, will supply 196
transmission sites with Maxiva UAX DVB-T air-cooled transmitters and low-power
Maxiva UAX Compact Class gap filler systems with power ratings between 10 W and
1 kW. For Harris, this project represents the latest in a series of DVB-T and
DVB-T2 digital migrations, which are the leading DTV standards in the central
European region.
