A Brief Evolution of Tieline Technology

In 1981 Tieline Technology commenced operation as Television Communications Pty Ltd and the company imported and distributed a range of broadcast audio and video products into Australasian markets. During the next 14 years the company designed and manufactured a range of video switching and distribution products, which were installed into a large number of television stations, private video organizations and government departments.

In 1995 Television Communications became Audio Video Communications (AVC). The company expanded heavily into audio products including radio broadcast mixing consoles, signal measurement, conversion, and amplification products,  which soldwidely with great success.

In 1998 AVC identified a growing market for digital audio codecs required to deliver live, studio quality audio over narrow band networks such as analogue telephone lines, as well as ISDN links. In response to this demand the company developed a family of world-class digital audio codecs branded under the name Tieline.

The Tieline range of codecs won a number of highly recognised industry and technology awards and the company became better known to its customers for the brand Tieline than its name AVC. As a result, in 2002 AVC became Tieline Technology.

Since 1998 the company has pursued the development of a global distribution network spanning the Americas, Europe, UK, Africa, Asia, Middle East and Australasia. Today Tieline Technology has offices in Australia and North America with a regional distribution hub in the United Kingdom.

Tieline has carved out a strong reputation in international broadcast and industrial audio and video markets for world class products. Significant expansion of its global distribution network has fueled sales growth and funded continuing research and development.

The Tieline research and development team includes full time software and hardware engineers with in-house access to state of the art development and testing equipment. Tieline is a global leader in audio over IP technologies for broadcasting and has acquired significant expertise in digital telecommunications networks.

Tieline has a well defined development plan with on-going resources allocated to new codec solutions and products.

Tieline's global sales & marketing, research & development production & manufacturing and administration teams operate under a well defined strategic business plan, which will continue to deliver innovative solutions to professional broadcasters markets around the globe.
