Synonymous with expertise and innovation in the field of broadcast, Thomson Broadcast is responsible for numerous developments that continue to shape the broadcast industry today. As part of its long-standing history, Thomson was responsible for the first live radio transmission from the Eiffel Tower in 1937 under the name “Compagnie Génerale de Télégraphie Sans Fil” (General Wireless Telegraphy Company).

From 1995, Thomson Multimedia (TMM) specialized in consumer goods and later as ThomsCast, leading the way to investing into the Thales Broadcast & Multimedia Division in 2005. In 2010, Thomson underwent a change in name to Tehnicolor, following a separation from Thomson Grass Valley. From 2012 – 2018, the Thomson Broadcast brand was acquired by the Arelis Group, focusing on Radio and Terrestrial Television transmission activities, both civil and military.

Following the acquisition by Group Sipromad in August 2018, Thomson Broadcast is currently managed as part of the Technology Business Unit under the entity Phenixya.

As a driving force in the field of transmission, Thomson Broadcast has pioneered innovations in solid-state technologies including Digital Adapative Pre-Correction (DAP), Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). All these have led to the success in winning multiple Emmy Awards and gaining more than 50 patents in technologies that have become fundamental in broadcast today.

Thomson Broadcast has deployed more than 50,000 equipments in more than 170 countries, actively participating in the evolution of television and radio transmission. Through the development of the Pulse Step Modulation (PSM) in Radio and creating the automatic Digital Adaptive Pre-Correction (DAP), Thomson Broadcast has largely contributed in shaping the transmission market in both TV and radio.
