Cable Onda, the leading Cable and MMDS operator in Panama, recently upgraded a high power MMDS transmitter in the city of Colon with a 1000 Watt broadband transmitter from Cable AML.The old channelized transmitter was involved in a fire emergency and ceased to operate without warning. Cable AML supplied an off-the shelf 1000-Watt broadband transmitter which arrived to the site the following day. The Cable Onda technicians, led by Luis Valle, had hit installed and operating in less than 2 hours after arrival, thus minimizing service disruption to Cable Onda’s MMDS customers.According to Karlos Brown, Cable Onda Engineering Manager, “Cable AML responded to our request for assistance quickly and efficiently, providing a replacement transmitter in record time. This allowed Cable Onda to restore service much faster than it would have been possible with any other alternative. The broadband transmitter is performing perfectly and as a bonus it operates with much reduced electricity and air conditioning costs.”
