Telecom radio units opened on the HCS bench
Travis Labs · Telecom

Site power and radio equipment, repaired in Lusaka.

Rectifiers, site monitoring units, remote radio units, baseband units and RF amplifiers fail every week across Zambia's networks. Replacing them means forex, lead time and downtime. We repair them.

Status

On the bench now

Broadcast RF amplifiers for MultiChoice.

High-end RF power amplifiers from MultiChoice transmitter stations, and the HMI panels that run with them, are being worked on at the HCS bench in Lusaka. Each amplifier is opened, worked through with the manufacturer's service manual and checked on the bench.

Why local

Forex, lead time, downtime.

A failed rectifier shipped abroad takes weeks and dollars. On our bench it is diagnosed the day it arrives, repaired, tested at load and returned with a report per serial number.
