BW in the
real world.
Case Studies
From global sporting events and military deployments to community radio and bespoke broadcast solutions, BW Broadcast technology is trusted in environments where performance matters.
Explore the people, projects and applications behind over 30 years of British broadcast engineering.
MILITARY & RAPID DEPLOYMENT
RIAB & mission-critical, rapid deployment.
Not every broadcast installation has the luxury of a permanent studio or transmitter site. BW Broadcast equipment has been supplied for rapidly deployable radio systems designed to establish local broadcasts in demanding operational environments.
With hundreds of units supplied for military applications, the emphasis was on practical equipment that could be transported, installed and brought into operation with minimal complexity.
Compact designs, flexible integration and dependable RF performance make radio a valuable tool wherever conventional broadcast infrastructure is unavailable.

MAJOR SPORTING EVENTS
From the Olympics,
to the World Cup.
The world's biggest sporting events demand broadcast equipment that performs when it matters most. From national football and rugby grounds, to the Paris Olympics the 2026 World Cup, BW Broadcast technology has been part of the wider broadcast environment surrounding major global events.
Where schedules are unforgiving and downtime isn't an option, dependable engineering, straightforward operation and consistent performance are essential.
Our approach prioritises equipment that's practical to deploy, easy to operate and built to withstand the demands of professional broadcasting.

COMMUNITY RADIO
Keeping community radio on air.
Community radio has always been close to BW Broadcast's heart. From our earliest days, we've believed that professional broadcasting shouldn't be reserved for organisations with the biggest budgets.
Whether launching a new station, improving local coverage or replacing ageing equipment, independent broadcasters need solutions that are affordable to operate, straightforward to maintain and capable of delivering a professional sound.
Our FM transmitters combine integrated audio processing, remote monitoring and flexible control, helping smaller teams manage their stations with confidence.
That's why we also offer community radio station discount, and payment plans for stations in the UK, to help get everyone on air.

GOVERNMENT & INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Trusted for global communication.
Clear, consistent audio matters wherever important information needs to be heard. BW Broadcast audio processing technology has been supplied for specialist applications involving government and international institutions, demonstrating the versatility of professional broadcast processing beyond conventional radio stations.
Our DSPX range is designed to manage changing audio levels, maintain a consistent output and provide precise control over the final sound. Flexible connectivity and remote management options make it suitable for demanding installations where dependable audio performance is a priority.

OEM & ENGINEERING PARTNERSHIPS
Engineering, beyond the BW badge.
Some of our engineering work isn't immediately recognisable as BW Broadcast. Our experience in RF design, audio processing and broadcast manufacturing has also supported specialist OEM applications and equipment developed for other brands.
From projects for leading global broadcast manufacturers to bespoke technical requirements, these partnerships reflect the depth of engineering behind our own product range.
We understand that different markets and applications call for different solutions, and our experience allows us to approach those challenges with practical, purpose-built thinking.

OUTDOOR CINEMA
The sound of the
big screen.
At a drive-in cinema, the picture may be enormous, but the soundtrack is delivered directly to the audience through their car radios. FM transmission provides a simple, familiar way to deliver audio without requiring dedicated speakers or receivers for every vehicle.
Through our US distribution network, BW Broadcast equipment has supported outdoor cinema applications where clean audio, stable transmission and straightforward setup are essential.
Integrated audio processing on suitable transmitters also helps operators deliver a consistent listening experience without unnecessary additional equipment.

TRANSLATORS & REMOTE COMMUNITIES
Bringing radio further.
Geography shouldn't determine who gets access to reliable radio. From mountainous terrain to remote communities, extending an existing station's coverage can present significant engineering challenges.
BW Broadcast's FM translator solutions are designed to receive and rebroadcast signals into areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach.
With integrated remote control and features designed to simplify unattended operation, they provide a practical way to improve coverage while reducing the need for frequent site visits.

BESPOKE BROADCAST SOLUTIONS
One message.
Many languages.
Broadcasting isn't always about reaching the largest audience. Sometimes, it's about making sure every listener can understand what's being said.
For the Ahmadiyya community, BW Broadcast has provided low-power multi-channel set-ups to transmit multilingual communication, including applications connected with significant community celebrations.
Projects like these demonstrate our ability to look beyond standard off-the-shelf products and develop practical solutions around a specific requirement, combining technical understanding with the flexibility of an experienced UK engineering team.

OUR HERITAGE
Serial Number #1, where it all began.
Every company has a beginning. Ours has a serial number.
Long before BW Broadcast equipment was operating in more than 100 countries, there was a first unit, the beginning of an engineering journey that would span more than three decades.
Founded by radio enthusiast and engineer Roger Howe, BW Broadcast was built around a straightforward belief: professional broadcast equipment should be reliable, practical and designed by people who understand the demands of radio.
From those early beginnings, our products have evolved through generations of transmitters, audio processors and specialist broadcast solutions. The technology has changed enormously, but the thinking behind it hasn't.
We still design, manufacture and test our equipment in the UK, with the same emphasis on reliability, sensible engineering and long-term serviceability.

SAME DAY REPAIRS & SUPPORT
When every minute off-air matters.
For broadcasters, downtime isn't simply an inconvenience. Every minute off air means lost coverage, interrupted programming and listeners unable to tune in. That's why our commitment to customers goes well beyond supplying equipment.
We've had broadcasters arrive at our UK facility with equipment requiring urgent attention, where our engineers have diagnosed the fault, carried out repairs and returned the equipment to the customer the very same day.
With engineering, assembly and testing expertise under one roof, we can respond directly to problems rather than relying solely on external repair centres or lengthy support chains.
It's a practical example of what we've always believed: good broadcast engineering isn't just about keeping equipment running. It's about having the people, knowledge and commitment to get broadcasters back on air when something goes wrong.
