It consists of two guyed masts, one, the original, being high, and a second mast (no longer in service) at . They have antennas attached at various heights. It is situated 14 miles WSW of Ipswich at a site height of 70m. All 6 Digital TV MUXES are transmitted from Sudbury using an omnidirectional pattern at an ERP of 100 kW. Originally Sudbury was a B group transmitter but in order to accommodate the digital transmissions it went E group then, at its 700MHz clearance in August 2018, it ended up a K group (or wideband). However, most B group, E group and wideband aerials will continue to work fine on it (see graph).
