Sydney – Transmission provider Broadcast Australia has acquired 55% of Radio Frequency Engineering Limited (RFE), a Hong Kong-based business specialising in indoor and confined space coverage. Deal enables the two companies to work together on digital broadcast network development, particularly broadcast mobile TV networks across the Asia Pacific. The target markets are South East Asia, Taiwan and Australia. Existing REF shareholders will retain the balance of shares. Chris Jaeger, Managing Director of Broadcast Australia’s International Business Group, said coverage inside buildings and tunnels will be essential for mobile TV services. “RFE will be Broadcast Australia’s ‘beachhead’ in Asia; we’ll be focusing on business opportunities for our combined capabilities across the region,” said Jaeger, who joins the RFE board.
