Broadcasters have needed and asked the FCC for more channels and bandwidth for many years. With the growth of HD audio and video, the need for reliable STLs continues to grow every year.
To help broadcast engineers and others interested in this subject, the SBE is presenting a webinar on IP Microwave STLs June 27 from 2-3 p.m. ET. The webinar is free to SBE members, thanks to sponsorship by SBE Sustaining Member, DoubleRadius.
In August of 2011, the FCC abolished the last link rule opening up Part 101 licensed frequencies to broadcasters, opening up new frequencies that can be used for reliable STL’s. These frequencies, like 950 MHz, 7 GHz, and 13 GHz, are licensed frequencies but with the ability to run high speed bidirectional data rates. These frequencies have the ability to provide up to a gigabit of bidirectional throughput to your transmission sites. This webinar will inform you on these new licensed frequencies and the design dos and don’ts, as well as looking at a live path profile showing what can be done today.
