2001

Our company launches the production of a new line of 100-5000W "Onega" TV transmitters (I-V bands) and  1-10 W "Onega-M" TV transmitters for all TV bands.

2000-2008 гг.

The company designs a line of authentic antenna-feeder devices for television and radio broadcasting such as: transmitting antenna “Dvoinoi Zigzag”, slot antennas for IV-V TV bands, radiating vibrators for VHF broadcasting, radiating panel III for TV band based on zigzag-transmitting radiators, “Skew” type antenna system, antenna-feeder devices for digital television and radio broadcasting. It also undertakes modernization works of the Ostankino radio-television center (Moscow). The company starts development and production of analog digital television transmitters (ADTV transmitters) that include the option of being used for digital television.

2008-2011

The company developed line of authentic antenna-feeder devices for television and radio broadcasting, such as: transmitting antenna "Dvoinoi Zigzag", slot antennas for IV-V TV bands, radiating vibrators for VHF broadcasting, radiating panel III for TV band based on zigzag-transmitting radiators, "Skew" type antenna system, antenna-feeder devices for digital television and radio broadcasting. There was a modernization of the Ostankino radio-television center (Moscow). The company started development and production of analogue-digital television transmitters (ADTV transmitters) with the option for digital television.

2008-2015

A new line of antenna-feeder devices for TV (III, IV and V bands) and VHF radio broadcasting is designed, as well as new band pass filters with critical and non-critical spectral masks, combiners adapted to digital television.
