Satellite Ku-band IPTV and Direct To Home Services

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Code: PWL103

Course Description:

Satellite Ku-band video services are showing the highest growth rate of any technology for distribution to Free To Air, IPTV and cable head-ends. Many new 36 MHz transponder equivalents of Ku-band capacity are being added to global capacity demand each year - with half coming from delivery of services within the Direct-To-Home markets alone.
 
To enhance future growth, satellite industry professionals must concentrate on what satellites do well besides video delivery. With New Ku-band spot services, lower-cost, higher-performance interactive VSAT services can become reality. This makes satellite an ideal delivery mechanism for backhaul from WiMAX cells, DVB-H local delivery and streaming services.

 

This course examines how new satellite services are evolving, how the technology functions and how it can be applied to these new market sectors.
