Webinar to explore multi-vendor pros, cons

Tomorrow, we will be hosting a free webinar — sponsored by Avtec — that will explore the advantages of multi-vendor networks. We’ll also be discussing the myriad challenges to pulling off such initiatives in this session.

How to minimize the effects of time-delay interference

In this article, we examine ways to minimize TDI’s effects, which will cripple system performance — even when excellent RF coverage exists.

A look at time-delay interference

Does your simulcast radio system seem to exhibit improved range and performance when certain transmitters are turned off? In almost every case, this is an indication of improper system operation and that your system needs on-site optimization.

Winning the battle

Last month, we began to explore radio-frequency interference, every technician’s bane. Now we look at additional causes of RFI and — more importantly — what can be done about them.
