Spanish television transmitter operator Retevision SA has invested more than $9m in the construction of an international teleport, which will be the first in Europe to make regular digital television broadcasts. Sited in Arganda del Rey, Madrid, the teleport will provide the satellite services which Retevision has been offering to date from other installations, such as those in Seville and Torrespana (Madrid). Besides radio and television, the center will also look after the operator’s VSAT services, Datacast information services and the carrier service which Retevision offers radio-paging operators. It is connected to Torrespana by optic fiber and a digital radio link, and alternative communication paths will be available at all times to guarantee the connection with the digital network.
