PR Newswire (US)
Cool Play(TM) 1670 Offers Unique Design to Withstand Harsh
Conditions of Outdoor Operating Environments LAS VEGAS, NAB 2006,
April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS)
today announced that it is introducing Cool Play(TM) 1670, a new
television transmitter platform specifically designed for 1670 MHz
Digital Video Broadcasting Handheld (DVB-H) applications, including
the Modeo(TM) mobile TV service planned for the United States.
Featuring proprietary Convection-Cooled Technology, Cool Play(TM)
1670 is uniquely suited to cellular network-style transmitter
installations. Harris will highlight the Cool Play 1670 platform at
NAB2006 (Booth #C807), where the transmitter will deliver wireless
video to a handset. "The Cool Play(TM) 1670 is a clear indication
of the commitment and innovation that Harris brings to mobile
television applications. Harris has applied the experience gained
in mobile TV trials around the world to make a transmitter platform
uniquely suited for the requirements of L-band mobile television
transmission applications," said Dale Mowry, vice president and
general manager of the Harris Television Broadcast Systems business
unit. The Harris Broadcast Communications Division worked closely
with a team from the Harris Government Communications Systems
Division to design Cool Play(TM) 1670, the first Harris mobile TV
platform developed for harsh operating environments. Capable of
operating at external temperatures from -40 degrees to +45 degrees
C, it is uniquely equipped for outdoor installation without
specialized cooling equipment. Specialized printed circuit board
coatings and air-handling systems ensure that the electronics
within Cool Play(TM) 1670 transmitters receive sufficient
ventilation and cooling without corrosive effects from humidity or
impurities in the air. All the elements required for a local DVB-H
transmitter, including satellite receiver, TV exciter,
amplification, wireless or wired Ethernet modems, and
uninterruptible power supplies are contained within the climate-
controlled Cool Play(TM) 1670 cabinet. The Cool Play 1670
transmitter is designed for easy deployment on rooftops and other
difficult environments, and offers various redundancy options to
ensure that the mobile TV service operates continuously. Harris
offers the Cool Play 1670 transmitter with power outputs from 50 to
400 watts, in single output and diversity transmitter
configurations. About Harris Broadcast Communications Division
