MULTIMEDIA via SATELLITE Paolo De Vincenti Multimedia Programme Directorate EUTELSAT
SATELLITE: Why?? (1) • BANDWIDTH Satellite networks offer • Broadband Links • Bandwidth independency from the number of users for Broadcast and Multicast transmissions
SATELLITE: Why?? (2) • COVERAGE Satellite coverages enable the international and intercontinental extension of the networks overcoming • geological constraints • poor terrestrial infrastructures
SATELLITE: Why?? (3) • RELIABILITY • EXPANDABILITY • FLEXIBILITY
SATELLITE SERVICES EVOLUTION (1) • FROM • CENTRALISED INSTALLATIONS , • LARGE DIMENSIONS (Dant from 13 m to 3.7 m), • HIGH POWER (Pout from 1500 W to 150 W) • HIGH INVESTMENT AND OPERATION COSTS • TO • DISTRIBUTED TERMINALS, • SMALL DIMENSIONS (Dant from 3.7 m to 60 cm), • REDUCED POWER (Pout from 150 W to 1 W) • REDUCED INVESTMENT AND OPERATION COSTS
SATELLITE SERVICES EVOLUTION (2) SATELLITE PARTECIPATES IN THE GENERAL EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY: - WIDESPREAD DIFFUSION OF THE INSTRUMENTS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - WIDESPREAD ACCESS TO AN INCREASING NUMBER OF INFORMATION - DIFFUSION OF THE CAPABILITY OF CREATING AND TRANSMITTING CONTENTS

THE FUTURE (1) • Enhance the integration of satellite networks with terrestrial ones • Increase the Frequency Bandwidth available on satellites • Decrease the cost of terminals • to increase the use of bi-directional networks, • to make return channel via satellite accessible also to consumers and SOHO
THE FUTURE (2) • Enhanced satellite/terrestrial networks integration: • integration of DAMA networks with WLL, xDSL • integration of Multimedia Platforms with optical fibers.
THE FUTURE (3) • Introduction of Ka band • Increase of satellite G/T through the use of multiple spot beam coverages to reduce the size and power of the terminals • Improvement of On-Board Processing (OBP) techniques for on-board cross connection between spot beams • Standardization of systems to ensure interoperability and large volume production of terminals
DVB-RCS (1) Development Program Objective • to design and develop bi-directional satellite terminals meeting the DVB-RCS standard and therefore ensuring interoperability between terminals and HUBs from different manufacturers. This way • to ensure large volume production for terminals and therefore • to decrease the price of terminals
DVB-RCS (2) System Characteristics • Multifrequency TDMA Access Scheme • MPEG Profile • Turbo Coding • Capacity request signaling • Standardized ODU/IDU Interface • System flexibility to work in Ku-band and/or Ka-band
DVB-RCS (3) Terminal Prices Achievable bit rate will depend on satellite network characteristics (G/T, Gateway size, Interference environment, availability target).
