What Jampro Antennas does

Jampro Antennas Inc. is a Sacramento, California-based private manufacturer of broadcast RF antenna systems founded in 1954, recognized as the oldest continuous producer of broadcast antennas in North America. The company designs, manufactures, and globally deploys FM, TV (UHF/VHF), and DAB broadcast antennas spanning power ratings from 500W to over 90kW, alongside a complementary portfolio of RF combiners and filters (up to 120kW), rigid and flexible transmission line, power dividers, broadcast towers, and field installation services. Its product line supports ATSC, ATSC 3.0, DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T, NTSC, and PAL standards, with proprietary technologies including JUXD polarization futurization, constant-impedance combiner design (RCEC series), and a unique pre-shipment test range that replicates customer tower structures to validate antenna performance before field deployment.

The company sells through an enterprise direct-sales motion from its Sacramento headquarters with regional sales and engineering offices in the UK (Cheltenham, via the 2012-acquired subsidiary AlanDick Broadcast Ltd), Thailand (Bangkok), India, and Mexico (Mexico City), supported by trade show presence (NAB Show, IBC Amsterdam, TAB), bilingual webinars, and a content catalog of RF calculators. Customer base spans commercial broadcasters (CBC Canada, Televisa, GMA Philippines, CBS USA, Arqiva UK, RCTI Indonesia), state-owned national broadcasters (Voice of Vietnam, MCOT Thailand, All India Radio, Bangladesh Betar, JRTV Jordan), US public broadcasters (PBS Houston, Georgia Public Broadcasting stations), and government/defense (US Army AFRTS). Notable reference projects include the One World Trade Center NYC turnkey system (2020), CN Tower Toronto (operating 40+ years), and the world's largest Single Frequency Network in Singapore (200+ sites using DVB-T2). Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Monetization is driven by custom project-based hardware sales with multi-year contract cadences, quote-based pricing, and recurring component/accessory revenue; installation and consulting services are a secondary stream. The acquisition of AlanDick Broadcast in 2012 expanded the company's UK engineering footprint and combined installed base to 35,000+ broadcast installations globally, with end-to-end turnkey positioning from transmitter output through tower and antenna infrastructure.
