Extended Support for Broadcasters

Wheatstone Advantage

The Wheatstone Advantage support plan provides enhanced support services designed to make the operation and maintenance of your system as efficient and trouble-free as possible. The Advantage plan is available on a per year basis with cost based upon the system size.

Wheatstone has been manufacturing broadcast equipment for over 50 years and we continue to support everything we’ve ever made. We understand broadcasting and the critical requirement for reliable 24/7/365 operation and we’ve put together our Advantage Plan to assist you in meeting that goal.

Here’s how we can help you

Loaner equipment

If any of your Wheatstone equipment needs warranty service while under the Advantage plan, Wheatstone will provide a free loaner while your equipment is being repaired. Additionally, for non-warranty repairs loaners are available for rental at a reduced rate.

License support

Managing the licenses for software on PCs and equipment is frequently tedious. If a PC needs to be replaced, Wheatstone will normally charge a fee for license replacement. Under the Advantage plan, license support services are free.

Expedited repairs

Any equipment sent in for repair will be repaired or replaced within 1 week. Additionally, if the equipment is sent in express overnight, it will be repaired the next business day.

Software support

Wheatstone continues to develop the software and firmware in the equipment we make. Critical updates are always available to all customers free of charge. Updates that enhance/improve/add new features are normally charged for. These enhancement updates are available to Advantage customers at no charge.
