GatesAir Ships 100th Repack Transmitter
GatesAir has shipped its 100th repack transmitter, marking a milestone in its market-leading transmitter sales and deliveries for the US spectrum repack.
The company's Maxiva ULXTE liquid-cooled transmitter will be used by WMOR-DT in Tampa to power its new UHF Channel 18 assignment. The station is part of the Riverview Antenna Farm owned by American Tower, and will soon install the ULXTE and a new UHF antenna to accommodate the channel change.
GatesAir announced an agreement in December as the exclusive supplier of Maxiva transmitters and related services for 13 Hearst Television stations selected for repack. WMOR is part of this group, which includes WTAE-DT in Pittsburgh, where a new Maxiva transmitter has already gone on the air.
