Coax TV

Despite the advancements in digital TV technologies, analog terrestrial TV systems are still used in the maritime segment for various reasons:

• Coverage:
  Analog terrestrial TV systems can provide coverage over a wider area, including coastal regions and near-shore waters, where digital signals may be weaker or unavailable.

• Cost:
  Implementing analog TV systems can be more cost-effective, especially for older vessels that may not have the necessary infrastructure to support digital TV reception.

• Compatibility:
  Many vessels might have older TV equipment that is compatible with analog signals. Upgrading to digital TV systems may require additional investments in new equipment.

• Simplicity:
  Analog TV systems are relatively straightforward and easier to set up, making them a practical choice for smaller vessels or those without advanced technical capabilities.

• Signal Stability:
  Analog TV signals are more robust in adverse weather conditions and rough seas compared to digital signals, which can experience signal loss or interference.

• Broadcasting Regulations:
  Some maritime regions might still rely on analog broadcasting due to existing regulations or the availability of analog TV frequencies.
