All will integrate GatesAir’s new ATSC 3.0-ready Maxiva XTE exciter; and the latest generation of GatesAir RTAC software, which provides real-time adaptive correction to optimize signal integrity and compliance. All Maxiva transmitters are based on GatesAir’s high-efficiency PowerSmart Plus technology to reduce size, weight, and power consumption while streaming maintenance.
