Neville Cumming Joins GatesAir

Neville Cumming has been named as director of key accounts at GatesAir, effective immediately.

Mr Neville, who was formerly Strategic Sales Manager at Harris Broadcast, will be responsible for supporting broadcast groups across the U.S. at a time when the over-the-air TV landscape is undergoing substantial transformation. He will report to Joseph Mack, vice president of sales, Americas.

Discussing his appointment, Cumming said: "My experience includes helping U.S. TV broadcasters through the analog to digital transition, which like the spectrum repack was a deadline-driven project that required a thoughtful and sensitive approach for hundreds of broadcast customers nationwide. Moving forward, as we look to ATSC 3.0 and its native IP networking capabilities, I'm excited to leverage my engineering and IP experience to help customers architect the most effective UHF and VHF over-the-air solutions. Given its broad product portfolio and energy-efficient transmitter range – the latter of which will be very important to reduce operational costs around repack projects – GatesAir is well-positioned to lead the industry through these migrations."

Based in San Jose, California, Neville will work broadcast groups of all sizes across the United States.

"Neville will work closely with our greater sales, service and engineering teams to ensure our customers have the right solutions at the right times for their repack and ATSC 3.0 transitions," said Joseph Mack. "We are pleased to welcome Neville to the GatesAir team."
