Summary
In 2000, Australian broadcasters became the roll out of digital terrestrial television services (digital service) across the country as the replacement technology for the old analogue system. In order to meet the cut-over date set by the Australian Federal Government, all analogue television services have to be converted to digital by the year 2013.
This document does not discuss the entire analogue to digital migration in Australia but it only covers implementation of the Sunshine Network (SN) digital service in the town of Longreach located in outback Queensland. The planning, design, implementation, and testing were done by an external contractor, but in close cooperation with the SN, at the total cost of $250,000.
The Longreach digital service is one of the key services in Queensland providing coverage to around 3750 people in the area, mostly engaged in farming.
The brief scope of work for the new service included: * Mains power and air-condition system upgrade, * Installation of additional equipment rack to accommodate extra equipment, * Improvement of the existing earthing system, * Installation of the new transmission system.

After the completion of the project the town’s audience was delivered with more television channels and significantly enriched content.
