Tieline Adds Dealer in Ireland

Codec maker Tieline Technology named Total Broadcast Consultants as its new dealer for the Republic of Ireland.

International Marketing Manager Darren Levy said the agreement will help in its continuing expansion into Europe.

Total Broadcast Consultants is based in Waterford, Ireland. Preco Broadcast Systems will continue to service Tieline customers in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and France.

Tieline Business Development Manager in Europe PJ Fall said Total Broadcast Consultants has designed and built digital radio facilities "from the ground up" and is well placed to advise customers about integrating codec technologies.

"This will be especially useful as broadcasters in Ireland continue to migrate to 3G and IP networks," Fall said. "IP proliferation is still gathering momentum but European broadcasters appreciate the cost advantages of IP over ISDN and the flexibility that the technology provides."
