Friedrichshafen - Apr 08, 2003
ND SatCom AG, a leading global supplier of satellite based communication networks and ground stations, will show its new Broadband Media Contribution Solution at the NAB 2003. Visitors to the show will be able to experience "store and forward" of video content, live streaming and live TV over IP, all based on ND SatComs' award winning SkyWAN platform.

"Media companies and broadcasters operating multiple sites for contribution of large video and media content are facing challenges.

Our new Broadband Media Network is a new solution for contribution and distribution of any video content, live or on demand. This solution offers various choices to transmit video or data streaming in combination with voice and production intercommunication," says Dr. Karl Classen, CEO of ND SatCom AG.

The network may consist of multiple sites supporting several transmissions in parallel. Transmissions can be effected ad hoc utilising the fully automatic bandwidth allocation of SkyWAN or can be scheduled by the Network Management Link Manager tool.

As a further option a Monitoring and Control System provides satellite resource management and fast booking capabilities for DVB uplink stations. SkyWAN is the platform to establish advanced Broadband Media Networks, composed of fixed stations of mobile SNG, to transfer videos via IP or encapsulated via DVB.
