WE PROVIDE EXPERT ENGINEERING SERVICES TO THE BROADCAST INDUSTRY
The services provided by Kessler and Gehman Associates (KGA) since 1967 have ranged from consulting services rendered on a daily basis to studies of technical, economic feasibility and the design and construction follow-up of major telecommunications systems in widely diverse geographical areas in the United States, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. In particular KGA has extensive experience in the design of systems in geographical areas where special attention has had to be devoted to effects of meteorological variations on system propagation reliability. Baseband information carried on communications systems designed by KGA include video, data, telemetry, supervisory, wide bandwidth audio, telephone and teletype, either in combination or individually and in analog or digital format.
KGA is certified by the Board of Professional Engineers and has offices located in Gainesville, Florida. KGA is licensed to practice professional engineering and has been involved in virtually every phase of broadcast and wireless communications from initial designs to final inspections.

I have worked with Kessler and Gehman Associates for well over 10 years and they are the most trusted, effective, timely, and efficient television and radio engineering consultants I have worked with in all my years in broadcasting. Much of the success of the West Virginia Public Broadcasting network digital transition and signal expansion is directly due to their expertise and experience.
