About Us

Communications Technology Broadcasting (Pty) Ltd (CTB) was founded in 1979 at which stage it primarily handled Broadcasting antennas in the LF, MF, and HF frequency bands as well as HF communications antennas and single site direction finding equipment.

After a decision to expand our product range to include all equipment from studio output to the antenna, the company very carefully selected manufacturers and suppliers of equipment recognized as being reputable, of high standard, yet remaining competitive with good customer support structures.
As a result of our expansion, products to cover the complete spectrum from LF through to microwave became available through CTB.

Due to customer demands, CTB expanded its activities to include total turnkey facilities which covered site selection, theoretical propagation studies, actual measured propagation surveys, equipment requirement planning, site layout, coupling calculations, building designs, project management, installation, commissioning, site manuals, reports, followed by  complete after sales service and maintenance programs.

CTB continually advises customers of important changes and availability of new products as well as interesting technical developments that could improve on operation of the original installed system.

Over the years, in an attempt to service every possible need of our much valued customers, CTB expanded once again to include a dedicated maintenance division.

As a result of this expansion and the creation of a dedicated and experienced maintenance team, CTB has become a much respected and sought after maintenance contractor.
All maintenance team members come from an installation background and therefore understand the principles and theories behind the systems they are maintaining.

CTB also has taken on civil teams in order to keep all work in-house and to offer our clients a turnkey option. This includes site surveys, excavating, all re-bar and shutter work and well as concrete pouring.

Site inspections and commissioning have also become an integral part of our business. Our experience and knowledge in all fields of broadcasting and communication have made CTB the perfect candidate for this line of work.
