Eletec Broadcast

What Eletec Broadcast does

Eletec Broadcast, trading as ELETEC Sarl, is a Nice, France-based designer, assembler, and distributor of radio and television broadcast equipment. The company is registered as a French société à responsabilité limitée (SARL) with €5,000 of share capital (RCS Nice 498866300) and operates with between 1 and 10 employees. Its catalog covers FM transmitters from 20W to 80kW, UHF/VHF TV transmitters, DAB+ transmitters from 1W to 10kW, AM transmitters, FM/TV amplifiers, STL beam links, FM/TV antennas, studio equipment, and integrated turnkey broadcasting stations. Differentiated technical features include tropicalized chassis for harsh climates, hot-plug modular power supplies, DDS-based FM modulation, and IP/remote-telemetry connectivity.

The company sells primarily into emerging-market and African broadcasting customers, with named engagements including community and faith-based operators such as Radio Mission de Vie. Pricing spans entry-level 100W FM stations from €4,900, mid-power turnkey packages from €8,200 to €14,500, and high-power or TV packages from €18,500 and above. It also markets equipment rental and consulting/installation services.

Commercial go-to-market combines direct sales, African channel partners, and trade-show presence; revenue is driven by one-time hardware shipments with adjacent services revenue. There is no public disclosure of financials, headcount growth, or external funding, and the company appears to be a privately-held, sub-scale specialist rather than a venture-backed growth business.
