They are also well suitable to set up Virtual Private Networks (VPN) with Headquarter and offices remotely located. • The Satellite Modem supports different applications on the same platform utilizing the same network both for interactive IP communications and for video and audio multicast streaming (called “triple play”).

Internet via Satellite (AA2017/18) P12/10 Università degli studi di Roma “Tor Vergata” Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Internet Engineering Standard DVB IP • IP data broadcasting in the DVB standards family (and specifically DVB-S) is defined in ETSI EN 301 192 per Data Broadcasting, describing several modes for the data distribution and in particular IP packets delivery. It is tightly coupled with other ETSI/DVBstandards for DVB-S (ETS 300 421 – Framing structure, channel coding and modulation for satellite services) and DVB-SI (ETS 300 468 – DVB Service Information). • In the specification for DVB data broadcasting, several methods are described for the delivery of digital data, as already seen in the «Encapsulation» section. • Concerning IP, the DVB standards specifically discuss on the adaptation of previous standard (DSM-CC) for the implementation of a Multi Protocol Encapsulation (MPE) transport mode. Other modes are available (streaming, piping, carousel) but either useful for other kinds of data transmission or require additional adaptation layers to be implemented within the modem and the gateway) • MPE specifically describes the conversion and inclusion of MAC addresses within the DVB structures, which is necessary to allow the traffic to continue on terrestrial networks after the satellite segment. • The MPE specifications allows to define multicast and broadcast services. • Enhanced encapsulation methods exist, and in particular ULE has been standardized by IETF (but not by DVB, so interoperability may not be guaranteed) in IETF RFC 4326, and it can be used as alternative to MPE.

    Press Release . Press Release . Press Release . Press Release Meet Newtec @ SATELLITE Booth 739 NEWTEC AND SES BROADBAND SERVICES SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE KA-BAND TEST - Next generation Ka-band Sat3Play® technology successfully tested for SES Broadband with new high speed modem and outdoor unit Newtec’s Ku/Ka High Speed Modem and the new Ka-band iLNB SINT-NIKLAAS, Belgium, 9 March 2012. Satellite specialist Newtec today announced that they have successfully tested Newtec’s new high speed Ka-band technology for SES Broadband (previously called ASTRA2Connect) - Europe’s most successful satellite broadband service. Newtec has shipped well over 100.000 Ku-band Sat3Play® terminals for SES Broadband and is now providing the next generation Ka-band terminals for SES Broadband evolution, featuring download speeds beyond 10 Mbps. The test was completed with next generation Ka-band Sat3Play terminals and related hub infrastructure. The new technology was tested on the ASTRA 1L Ka-band capacity at 19.2 degrees East. “We have jointly tested and validated the Sat3Play Ka-band platform from Newtec with the objective of proving operational readiness for a rollout of SES Broadband Ka-band services later this year. The upgrade of existing end user terminals and the next generation Ka-band terminals, featuring speeds beyond 10 Mbps, are part of SES strategy to bring its successful broadband service to the next level. The test was very successful and we are pleased with the performance of the equipment. We look forward to the launch of our Ka- band services,” said Patrick Biewer, Managing Director, SES Broadband Services. During testing, Newtec installed a Sat3Play hub at SES Broadband Services’ premises in Luxembourg, provided several Ka-band terminals working on Astra-1L Ka-band frequencies, and also provided the ability to remotely operate the Hub.

  • Ka-Band Satellite Consumer Triple-Play and Professional Video Services
    Ka-Band Satellite Consumer Triple-Play and Professional Video Services Guillaume Benoit, Hector Fenech, Stefano Pezzana, and Alessia Tomatis Eutelsat, 70 rue Balard, 75015 Paris, France +33 1 53 98 47 47 {gbenoit,hfenech,spezzana,atomatis}@eutelsat.fr Abstract. This article presents Eutelsat European Ka-band implementation of the broadband ToowayTM service and its evolution through a dedicated Ka-band exclusive satellite (KA-SAT). It also explains Eutelsat’s choice in se- lecting the Ka-band for interactive services, broadcast video and IPTV ser- vices, demonstrating the optimal consumer service synergy between existing Ku-band and new Ka-band services. KA-SAT satellite is not focusing only on consumer triple-play services. In- deed, Eutelsat strategy consists in offering also professional video and data services in Ka-band (video distribution, video contribution, e-cinema, file transport) sharing the same transparent satellite bandwidth and the same ground segment infrastructure. For those professional video applications the last content processing (SVC) and satellite transport (DVB-S2 ACM) techniques are under deployment and this paper will present simulation results and link budgets estimations for a large number of future commercial applications. 1 Introduction Eutelsat operates 25 satellites in the geostationary arc from 15°W to 70.5°E offering a variety of services from corporate networks to broadcasting. The HOT BIRD™ con- stellation at 13°E constitutes the prime position for DTH (Direct to Home) and cable broadcasting, utilizing the full Ku-band spectrum from 10.70 GHz to 12.75 GHz. There are 102 transponders delivering about 1400 TV channels. The HOT BIRD™ service area reaches some 120 million satellite and cable households.

    Brussels, 2 December 2008 SES' answer to Ofcom consultation: Delivering super-fast broadband in the UK SES is pleased to contribute to this important consultation on delivering super-fast broadband in the UK. We welcome the intention of public authorities at EU and national levels to continue influencing and shaping the technologies and networks of the future, for all European citizens. The development of new technologies like internet and mobile communications has changed the way of living for billions of people around the world. Nowadays, the customer is constantly seeking more services from the internet using multiple devices for applications such mobile video, music downloads etc. In order to provide these services, there is an increasing need for not only more bandwidth but also infrastructure enhancements and convergence. Future network architectures like LTE, FTTC, FTTH etc will require unprecedented levels of capital investments in the UK and globally. The business case for these investments is still uncertain and there appears to be a growing consensus that convergence will be required to control cost and consolidate consumption. Therefore, we at SES believe that it is very important to participate in this consultation with OFCOM in view of the far reaching implications of current decisions. SES believes that the drive for convergence will result in more prudent management of supply and demand for broadband access. This will result in bandwidth aggregation strategies to merge different access technologies in order to deliver and exploit opportunities for consumption. Company background SES is one of the world leaders in satellite operations with its headquarters in Luxembourg; it was formed out of a network of satellite operators located across all continents - operating mainly through SES ASTRA in Europe and SES AMERICOM/NEW SKIES in North and South America, Africa the Middle East and Asia.

    TEST REPORT Ka-Band Satellite Signal Analyzer HD-TC8 from HORIZON New feature-packed signal analyzer specially designed for the new Ka-band Internet-via-Satellite services While it is possible with a little effort to find Ku-band satellites using a normal satellite receiver and using it to adjust the antenna, this method has its limits when dealing with Internet- via-Satellite services in the Ka-band. Even if you were to use a Ka-band LNB you would not be successfull: an Internet-via- Satellite service such as Tooway, available from the HOTBIRD 6 satellite, uses a different transmission mode. Enter the new Horizon meter HD-TC8 which has the ability to directly lock on to those Turbo Coded services. 10-11/2009 Horizon HD-TC8 Ideal multirange signal analyzer for the Ka and Ku-bands, optimized for Turbo Coded Data Transmissions 20 TELE-satellite — Broadband & Fiber-Optic — 10-11/2009 — www.TELE-satellite.com ■Ka-band specialist Ron Eberson adjusting the Tooway dish using the HORIZON HD-TC8.
