ON AIR in Safe Hands



An evolving scenario TV broadcasting is changing: digital technology has turned the TV medium in a multifaceted tool, that can be multichannel, HD, interactive, mobile, with plenty of opportunities open to the imagination. To face the new challenges, operators are focusing their resources on the key aspects of competence, outsourcing to reliable partners what relates to infrastructure definition, set-up and servicing.

We have the answer With a first-rank background in the industry of equipment for analog and digital TV, we are perfectly qualified for turnkey provision of TV infrastructures and related services. Capable to cover the whole chain from studios to viewers, home or mobile TV, we combine a state-of-the art range of products with high quality services.

Our strength is our Group We supply transmission equipment for TV networks since 1976, the Group started developing DTT technology in 1995, and since 2006 we are involved in the rollout of Mobile TV networks, providing transmission systems for DVB-H. With almost 2000 transmission sites in Italy, the Group is leader in tower operations. DMT is listed in the Milan stock exchange – STAR segment – since 2004.

The Group: Management of DMT’s transmission site portfolio, hosting Broadcast and Telco operators. Production of transmission systems, provision of services related to technology integration and interfacing. Installation and maintenance services for TV transmission equipment. All Companies are ISO 9001 and NATO certified.


Our Services DMT’s people avail of a substantial know-how in services related to the implementation and operation of TV broadcasting networks, coming also from being directly involved in equipment production and tower operations. We can provide services covering any phase in the definition and operation of a broadcasting network. Our skills have been demonstrated in the frame of several prestigious projects.

Engineering All the know-how needed to correctly define and lay out the transmission infrastructure in any detail, from high-level service objectives to specifics for all subsystems, components, connections, infrastructure and logistics. Coverage: defining location and radiation characteristics for each station. The transmission sites are defined on the basis of a realistic availability analysis, and antenna patterns, radiated power, frequencies are evaluated accordingly. Network Engineering: design of the whole network, including definition of standards and protocols for each subsystem, connection characteristics, subsystem requirements, etc. System integration: Analysis of the operational specs for the equipment in each subsystem. Definition of implementation solutions, modules to be included in subsystems and interfaces. Station Engineering: design of the station subsystems, cabling and auxiliary services, infrastructure definition/upgrade, power services, site supervision and logistics.

Implementation and Assessment What you need to turn design into reality and to make sure it works. Project Management: assistance in the procurement of licenses, sites and authorizations, possible components of external supply. Monitoring end reporting on the work progress. Assessment of the compliance with the specified requirements at each step. Installation: system on-site integration and activation. Performance assessment: extensive tests of the service performance, compliance check with the service operational goals, organization of permanent Quality Of Service monitoring systems.


Operation, interaction and maintenance If you like, DMT can relieve you from the burden of the day-by-day activities related to keeping your network operational and fit. Site management: site control, supervision and housekeeping. Provision of power and communication services. Status reporting. Operation monitoring: remote supervision of the conditions and system operation of the sites included in the network. QoS monitoring through a set of monitoring stations placed over the covered area. Maintenance: to carry out equipment scheduled maintenance operations as well as to handle repair operations in case of malfunctioning of the system. Possibility of help desk service. Spare parts and equipment replacement: possibility to organize spare parts storage service, as well as to procure a set of equipment to be used to replace possible parts of the system needing repair operations. Multimedia and “pay” services: management of the cards/codes distribution, organization of subscriber’s help desk services.

Consultancy and training expert advice ready to support you, whenever you need it. Business plan preparation: DMT can support customers in working out business plans and profitability analyses of their perspective business. Technical consultancy: to solve specific service problems: avoid interferences, upgrade the system... But also to organize operations like site relocation, site procurement, coverage extension, etc. Regulatory consultancy: procedures to get licenses/authorizations related to the operation of a broadcasting network. Assistance in preparation of applications for public subsidy. Personnel training: know-how transfer about the operation of the systems in a broadcasting network. Coaching of the customer’s personnel during the launch of the service.


Our Products TV transmission technology The main DMT products are: TV transmitters/repeaters, digital (DVB-T/H, ATSC-DTV) and analog, from very low to very high output power levels. Equipment for digital and analog terrestrial microwave links, all the major frequency bands in use. Antennas and ancillary components for TV (digital, analog, mobile TV). In the design of all DMT products, special attention is paid to the issue of operational costs: advanced solutions have been recently developed to allow an important reduction of the equipment power consumption. Other primary guidelines in DMT’s product policy are reliability and ease of use.

Head End solutions for DVB-T and DVB-H provided in partnership with SIDSA. The Polar Plus platform by SIDSA is an extremely modular and cost-effective solution that allows a fast deployment, easy operation and maintenance, and a quick evolution to future services. The IP-based topology provides an extremely high degree of flexibility without losing any of the features of an ASI-based headend. Polar Plus supports open loop statistical multiplexing and dynamic timeslicing (DVB-H).

Conditional Access Devices The Common Interface CAM provides Conditional Access Modules with a PCMCIA interface. Similar functionality is available also in a single chipset solution.
