Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Culture and Information (MOCI), official owner of the Saudi TV and Radio Network which has four TV and four Radio Channels, is selected Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company based in Melbourne, Florida, for modernization of Saudi TV and Radio's transmitter infrastructure.

The Saudi MOCI chose a wide range of Harris transmitters including:

• 21 AM radio transmitters, including 3DX digital solid-state transmitters.
• 40 FM radio transmitters, including the ZX range of low-power transmitters.
• 36 TV transmitters, including Atlas™ digital solid-state air-cooled transmitters.

These transmitters have been deployed across multiple Saudi TV and Radio facilities to allow for the broadcast of audio and TV programs terrestrially throughout the kingdom. The new TV transmitters are an especially critical element of Saudi TV and Radio's program to upgrade its television infrastructure to digital. Four DVB-T transmission sites have already gone live this year with Harris transmitters.

Richard Scott, vice president, Europe, the Middle East and Africa operations for Harris Broadcast Communications, said, "This project at Saudi TV is another good example of the ability of Harris to handle large, country-wide terrestrial roll-outs, With our experience, broad product portfolio across all major standards, and manufacturing capacities, Harris is the ideal choice for terrestrial network deployments."
