Radio Broadcast Airtime
The most Innovative Solutions
Radio Broadcast Airtime on Shortwave
We are operating a high-powered shortwave transmission facility in Kostinbrod, near Sofia, Bulgaria, one of the few remaining active in Europe to offer high power radio broadcasting airtime on shortwave with global reach providing very efficient option to the media that would like to reach large number of people worldwide.
Our services are perfect for national radio-stations who want to keep their presence on shortwave and reduce their transmission operational costs.
Our Shortwave radio transmission facility is perfectly located to provide excellent shortwave radio coverage of Europe, Russia, Middle East, India, Africa and Far East.
We have 9 high-power shortwave water cooled all DRM Ready radio broadcasting transmitters and 32 high-gain directional curtain antennas spread on field territory of 75 hectares.
The transmission equipment was renovated and modernized by our company number of times and is constantly upgraded, in order to achieve maximum efficiency, broadcasting quality and best possible reach.
Our transmitter site has its own satellite downlink farm, redundant high-speed Internet connection via Fiber and OTA, and fully redundant electricity supply.
The program delivery to us and audio distribution to the transmitters is fully automated and redundant via Satellite and Internet (FTP, Cloud and Audio Streaming) via Space Line automated content delivery system (SL-ACDS) with built in proprietary flexible audio processing alogrithm - FAPA, based on AI
The audio processing alogrithm FAPA is dynamically adapted to every program and to each transmitter characteristics for maximum program quality and maximum transmitter modulation.
With newly introduced AI Text to Speech technology we can broadcast web sites textual content, PDF files or any other text content in number of languages.
We are also operating a network of partner shortwave broadcasting facilities around the globe, whose equipment was improved by Space Line, in order to maximize the outreach and redundancy for our partners.
Our shortwave services are the most cost effective on the market.
Advantages of shortwave broadcasting
Even in the modern world, there are still many largely populated places, where the information could not reach the audience, because there is no Internet or FM coverage, or because of the local censorship, because there are disasters destroying the local infrastructure and for many other reasons.
Delivering information via satellite or Internet in such areas is very difficult or impossible, due to the lack of infrastructure and electrical power, the inability of people to pay or install fixed satellite dish installations or the requirement for payment of traffic subscription fees, which the listeners usually can not afford. The local broadband connections are very vulnerable, satellite receiving equipment too. In many of cases the listeners already own radio sets with ability to receive shortwaves. Such HF equipment is also mandatory and already installed on ships, air planes and vehicles and offices of organizations using HF for utility communications, and could be easily tuned to shortwave broadcasting frequencies to gather audio content. Several million radio amateurs have HF receiving equipment with as well.
No special infrastructure is needed from the broadcaster to set up shortwave transmission, usually delivering audio files or streaming to the transmitter site via internet is enough.
Using small, simple, battery powered and cheap shortwave radio set, the audience could receive fresh and unbiased information from abroad using Shortwaves, being sometimes the only efficient and very simple option for media content distribution via radio specially in troublesome regions.
Radio Broadcast Airtime on Medium-Wave
Space Line has special arrangements with number of high powered Medium Wave transmitter sites globally, providing exceptionally good transmission of radio programs on MW covering every continent
The Medium Wave broadcasting facilities we have arrangements with are located in best positions over Europe, Middle East, Far East and Africa, and powered from 100 kW to 2000 kW. We are know all the equipment at those stations and participate on its improvements with our experience to satisfy the our customers demands.
These transmitter sites are equipped to receive program feeds by Internet and Satellite via automated Space Line content delivery system (SL-ACDS) installed on each site
propetary flexible AI based audio processing alogrithm FAPA, adapted to every program and to each transmitter characteristics for maximum program quality and maximum transmitter modulation optimized for each individual program.
The transmission equipment in most of these facilities is modernized by Space Line in order to achieve best quality and sometimes DRM transmission.
Custom coverage planning, antenna and transmitter adjustments for best efficiency
We are also provisioning of automated quality monitoring of the programs being transmitted
Our medium wave services are the most cost effective on the market, as we are technically involved in all the end-to-end solutions deeply knowing the transmission equipment on the sites we work with.
Advantages of Mediumwave broadcasting
Medium Waves can cover whole a country and neghboring ones with single transmitter daytime and even whole continent night time when the transmitter is powerful enough and the antenna has good gain and directiviity.
Almost every small or desktop analogue radio set has medium waves and these are widely available in cars.
The biggest advantage of Mediumwave is that when traveling the listeners stay on one and the same frequency all the times and the reception qulaity is always consistent
