COMPANY PRESENTATION
CTE DIGITAL BROADCAST
IN SHORT
The acquisition of the activity of the well known ELIT Elettronica Italiana S.p.A. company (in
its turn founded in 1946 as a major supplier to RAI-RAIWAY) and the acquisition of Teko
Telecom S.r.l. Bologna grant to CTE Digital Broadcast more than 60 years of experience
and service.
CTE Digital Broadcast has shaped the history of broadcasting through a solid and well
reputed capacity in designing and producing transmission equipment and audio and video
transreceiving apparatus for major operators on the world market.
Today, CTE Digital Broadcast, with its partners Meta System, CTE International, has invested
considerable resources in research and development. In its drive to consolidate its position
as leader in its field CTE Digital Broadcast has developed and manufactured various
models of transmitters and repeaters with the new digital DAB/DMB and DVB-T/H
technologies. The excellent quality of the products and competitive prices allow CTE to
distribute in all the EU countries, as well as in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East,
North and South America, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, the Far East and China.

and re-engineered FROM SCRATCH!
ENGINEERING,
AS A CULTURE
In our niche business, we believe in engineering.

Every new design, every new development should be
re-invented. We should always think about how to
remake things easier, things simpler
to use for our customers.
We believe in beauty of our designs. Our customers

won’t sometimes even see it as most of them do not
open our devices to contemplate
the inside engineering.
But still, this is how we want
things to be done.
That is how we came to the “zero cable” philosophy

of our designs. From start, our engineers were
challenged to reinvent transmitters that would strictly
ban any cable internally.
Challenge accepted!
RANGE OF PRODUCTS
‘’BLUETECH’’:
SIMPLY INNOVATIVE!
BLUETECH represents the new set of innovative ideas
implemented by "CTE Digital Broadcast" both for TV and

EFFICIENCY AND HEAT DISSIPATION
High Efficiency Technology is not only about
Efficiency, but also about HEAT DISSIPATION.
Indeed, talking about the transistor, it will get 50%

efficiency using Doherty, whereas around 25% using
traditional Class AB design. In other words, in order to
get 100W after transistor there will be 100W
dissipated power using Doherty, whereas 300W
dissipated power using traditional Class AB which
is three times more.
400W 100W 200W 100W
300W 100W
So, High Efficiency Doherty design also helps to

reduce footprint of transmitter (compactness),
increase transmitter lifetime (cooler processing)
and remove power consuming devices (such as
air conditioning) that will increase even more
site efficiency.
