Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the R&S TM1, an air-cooled UHF transmitter series supporting power levels from 600 W to 6.5 kW. The new hardware features native support for ATSC 3.0 and 5G Broadcast, alongside a renewal option designed to allow operators to upgrade existing TMU9 installations.
Key Takeaways

Why It Matters
The introduction of the R&S TM1 provides a bridge for traditional broadcasters to enter the mobile-first ecosystem by integrating 5G Broadcast and ATSC 3.0 natively. By offering a renewal path for the older TMU9 generation, Rohde & Schwarz is addressing the industry's need for sustainable infrastructure upgrades that minimize both carbon footprints and hardware waste. This move signals a shift toward multi-standard hardware that can pivot between traditional linear delivery and interactive mobile formats. Watch for how quickly European and North American operators adopt the renewal option to modernize aging UHF networks for NextGen TV services.
