VT Communications
VT Communications is a part of
VT Group plc. It consists of two of VT Group's existing businesses: VT Merlin Communications and Vosper Mantech.
VT Merlin Communications, formerly Merlin Communications, is essentially the company formed from the privatisation of the
BBC World Service transmitter sites. It now provides transmission services to over 20 different customers from four main sites in the UK and several others in the rest of the world.
VT has won the contract to provide
National Physical Laboratory time signal from the existing provider,
BT Communications. Early in 2007 the
NPL will start new time signal transmissions from the Company's
Anthorn VLF transmitter. If the trial transmissions are successful the formal inauguration of the relocated facility will be 1 April 2007, when the name of the service will change to "The time from NPL" and the signal from BT Communications will be switched off.
