Government of Sri Lanka upgrades to Jampro Antenna System for multi-frequency, full island coverage

Jampro Antennas announced that the national television network of Sri Lanka, the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC), is upgrading its mountain-top antenna system with a new Jampro panel antenna system.

The Jampro model JHD-HV4, a half wave space four dipole flat panel antenna was specially selected by SLRC for the tough multi-channel assignment. It will be mounted atop 2,500 metre high Mt. Pidurutalagala, the highest peak in Sri Lanka, and exposed to extreme weather conditions.

Constructed of heavy-duty, hot dipped galvanized steel, the JHD-H4V will be the prime antenna to feed all other SLRC transmissions throughout the country.
Utilizing a pressurized feed system, the JHD-HV4 is designed for high-band VHF (Ch 7-13) Band lll. It has proven to have excellent bandwidth and low VSWR.
SLRC made its first transmission in 1982.

It expanded its studio and transmission facilities in 1986 and transitioned to digital technology in 1998 under three grant aid projects from the Government of Japan. The studio complex is located in Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka.
