Our services include:
ABC News | SNG System Rebuild
RaeAir undertook the refurbishment of an ageing satellite SNG system for ABC News when the original power amplifier failed. The system had always lacked the power to operate from many locations in Australia. RaeAir re-engineered the system and supplied a new higher power SSPA making the system capable of operating anywhere on the Australian continent without difficulty.
DAB+ RF REPEATERS
RaeAir was awarded a contract to provide high power digital adaptive on channel DAB+ RF Repeaters to operate in the 5 capital cities with DAB transmissions. The fully redundant systems are installed at communications sites giving vastly improved ‘in-building’ penetration of DAB+ signals in the CBD areas and “In-fill” Into blackspots around the various cities.
RaeAir has supplied fifteen (15)1KW systems installed and continues to manufacture and supply systems to the industry.
RaeAir’s unique design allows each system to be contained in a single rack mostly due to the elimination of multiple high power amplifiers and combining filters as are normally used in competitive systems.
The RF Repeater is capable of operating at 900 watts digital power and raises the signal levels of the multiple DAB+ ensembles in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and within the CBD’s and adjacent shadowed areas.DAB+ TO IP TRANSCODER
RaeAir designed and developed a translator capable of receiving and translating all 61 services on the 3 Sydney DAB+ ensembles to streamed MP3 form, for use in hospitals on their patient IP distribution networks.Unique from other translators globally, this unit is also available in a version that performs similar functions with AM and FM radio sources.

Technology SolutionTUNNEL RE-BROADCAST SYSTEMS
RaeAir designs and manufactures tunnel re-broadcast systems for AM, FM, DAB+ broadcast, VHF and UHF radio, as well as Cellular and communications. Starting with the original design for the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, we now supply equipment to Australia, Hong Kong and Switzerland. The tunnel systems generally utilise leaky feeder in the tunnel tubes and have “split” direction capability, allowing separate messages to each direction.
PARLIAMENT HOUSE CANBERRA | DAB+
It was essential that the digital radio programs would be available to all the members of the Federal Government in Parliament House, Canberra. RaeAir supplied a digital adaptive on channel repeater system consisting of a DAB+ exciter and three 100 watt power amplifiers, feeding “Leaky Feeders” to various parts of Parliament House giving total access to the digital radio transmissions.
RED FM & RADIOTAB | SATELLITE BROADCASTING
RaeAir designed and implemented systems to allow transmission of services on the VAST platform to their re-transmission sites of Red FM from Perth and the RadioTAB racing network. These channels feeding some hundreds of sites allow a simple and cost effective distribution system via the OPTUS satellites.
REGIONAL DIRECTIONAL AM MF STATION | COUPLING UNIT REPLACEMENT
A lightning strike caused a coupling unit feed hut and matching network to burn to the ground at a regional directional AM MF station in NSW. RaeAir designed, supplied and installed a replacement matching network, and verified the correct pattern was realised from the 2 tower array.
