10 Feeding DTT Networks by Satellite Satellites supporting the primary distribution of video content
Why Feeding DTT Networks by Satellite Coverage: Immediate coverage of all terrestrial transmitters Allows for swift network expansion Financial benefits: Network roll-out at a fix, hence, controllable cost Allows for network expansion at no incremental cost Infrastructure availability, security and reliability No further signal processing required, at towers level, in case of distribution of complete terrestrial MUX Satellite protected bandwidth 4 Ground Segment Solutions Space Segment Solutions Consumer Premises Equipment
Why SES MFN REGION SFN REGION Content is aggregated at a central head-end before being up-linked to the satellite Time-synchronisation and deterministic multiplexing at transmission sites ensures SFN compliance Satellite transponder is operated in classical DTH MCPC mode Low data rate overhead to be carried over the DTH MUX (up to a couple of hundreds of kbps) The satellite can feed both DTT transmitter sites and DTH receivers from the same transmission October 2011 (Date in Arial Regular 10 pt) Document Name (Name in Arial Regular 10 pt) 12
Why SES Satellite footprints allowing for solutions all around the world Best-in-class infrastructure availability @ 99.999988% Leading satellite operator - Financial stability, Fleet flexibility & Long-term fleet development plans Teleport/contribution services - Upink services, as an option, by SES teleports. - Multiplexing (DTT) including encryption if required 5
