Unicanal and Trece TV, Paraguay’s broadcasters, have launched digital TV services in three main cities: Encarnación, Ciudad del Este, and Juan O’Leary, utilizing Rohde & Schwarz transmission solutions. Each station features two transmitters, one for each broadcaster, with the objective of ensuring high-quality digital TV signals for the population, as Rohde & Schwarz has claimed in a statement.

The company has partnered for Unicanal and Trece TV since 2021, when the first two THU9evo transmitters were deployed in Asunción-Lambare.

The THU9evo and TMU9evo transmitters have enabled Unicanal and Trece TV to transition to digital TV broadcasting, to try to offer viewers improved signal quality, optimized spectrum usage, and a wider range of services. The design of the 4.5 kW rms dual drive with internal pumps in a single rack enabled installation in pre-manufactured shelters. This looks forward to improve financial performance for the broadcasters through optimized spectrum usage and reduced operational costs.

“We are delighted to have strengthened our presence in the region with this project, supporting Unicanal and Trece TV in their digital transition”, said Silvia Sanz, Regional Sales Director LATAM – Rohde & Schwarz Broadcast Distribution. “Our collaboration demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative, efficient, and sustainable broadcasting solutions”.
