Comux chooses Techex for local TV infrastructure

Comux, the infrastructure provider for the UK’s new terrestrial and online local TV services, has chosen broadcast technology provider Techex to design, commission and support the end-to-end broadcast network for the local TV broadcasting platform.

Techex will design and install all the critical broadcast services from licensee contribution and central network management through to distribution, transmission and monitoring.

Comux technical director Chris Romilly said, “Building a digital terrestrial network based on an IP network in such a short timescale will require expert knowledge and a detailed design process. It will however deliver significant cost savings and assist greatly with the future scalability of the platform for the second and third phase of rollout. We selected the Techex team because they demonstrated to us the right combination of innovation and experience needed to deliver this project.”
