DEV America will develop and produce a range of products and systems for the optical and electrical transmission of RF signals via coaxial cable or fiber for satellite, cable, and broadcast television head ends.

   DEV CEO Joerg Schmidt said the subsidiary was formed to expand its existing business partnerships in the United States and provide the opportunity to win more critical on-air broadcast and satellite systems contracts.

   “With our increased U.S. presence, DEV will be even better positioned to meet growing demand for our advanced technologies from satellite teleports, uplinks, DTH and IPTV head ends, as well as cable TV systems and playout facilities,” Schmidt said in a company statement.
