Thousands of customers in more than 170 countries have discovered that Nautel makes simply the best engineered transmitters – systems that meet stringent quality standards at its ISO-certified manufacturing facilities.

The latest innovation in broadcasting is digital radio. HD Radio and Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) are poised to become the greatest revolution in radio broadcasting since the introduction of FM. Not only does a digital signal deliver very high quality audio, it also provides incredible efficiency. In fact, a digital broadcaster can serve a broadcast area using only 1/100th of the power needed with analog (AM and FM) broadcasting. Nautel is a key player in this latest phase of radio broadcast technology, producing transmitters that are fully compatible with the digital transmission methods being used around the world.

Nautel is big enough to offer cutting edge technology, but small enough to take care of every customer’s needs. Understanding customers’ requirements allows Nautel to design products that suit the exact specifications of each customer.
