Continuing its recent string of international successes, Nautel will install three high power medium wave transmitters for the Turkish Radio - Television Corporation (TRT). February 27, 2008 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hackett’s Cove, Nova Scotia Canada – Nautel Ltd. today announced that the company has been awarded the contract for deployment of three NX300 high power MW transmitters for the Turkish Radio - Television Corporation (TRT). In addition to supplying transmitters, Nautel will provide comprehensive end to end services including site survey, installation, ventilation, transmission line, commissioning and site testing. “We wanted to make Turkey's radio infrastructure one of the best in the world,” said Mete Coskun, Technical Director for TRT. “Nautel’s new NX Series transmitters are advanced medium wave transmitters and will help TRT achieve advanced transmission and control capabilities while lowering our operating costs.” The NX Series was first introduced at the fall IBC show in Amsterdam and boasts medium wave industry firsts such as adaptive precorrection, 90% efficiency and integral DRM or HD Radio transmission in a cabinet that is 1/2 to 1/3 more compact than any other transmitter in its class.
