International. GatesAir has acquired Onetastic Srl, a provider of television, radio and digital media transmission systems, based in Brescia, Italy. And it provides ingenious, easy-to-use television, digital and radio frequency radio systems to customers in the broadcast, telecommunications, scientific and government verticals.
Founded in 2010, ONEtastic has built a reputation as an innovator of reliable, compact and energy-efficient transmitters, ideal for transmitters, network operators and government applications. ONEtastic's strength in high-efficiency, high-power DAB and TV transmitters complements GatesAir's wide range of transmission solutions and will help GatesAir better serve the needs of large-scale air networks around the world.
The acquisition also strengthens GatesAir's growing presence and visibility in Europe. GatesAir has aggressively expanded its sales and business development teams worldwide since the end of 2018, including several new leadership positions created to serve the European market.
"The acquisition of ONEtastic underscores our commitment to the transmission market and accelerates the investments we are making in our transmission portfolio," said Bruce D. Swail, CEO of GatesAir.
GatesAir will retain all ONEtastic staff and its Brescia facilities, which will continue to operate as GatesAir S.r.l. Luca Saleri, CEO of ONEtastic, will continue to play a leading role as General Manager of GatesAir S.r.l.
ONEtastic founder Carlo Bombelli will also be a key contributor to the GatesAir advancement team. Bombelli launched ONEtastic after his years as founder of Screen Service Broadcasting Technologies, a former provider of multi-standard digital streaming solutions in Italy. Bombelli is the author of several patents through his innovations at ONEtastic, and is the main force behind the company's ingenious transmitter designs.
