“We selected Harris transmitters because they provided the highest quality in terms of technology and reliability, as well as reduced operating costs,” Dr. Riyadh Najm, deputy minister of engineering affairs, at the ministry, said in information made available to Khaleej Times here on Thursday.

“Harris is an established leader in the transmitter business, with a long track record of success worldwide. The company’s experience, along with the efficiency of the Harris systems integrator, was the major factor in our decision to allow Harris to play a central role in the major modernisation project of the terrestrial network infrastructure for the Kingdom,” he added.

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.”
