Interoperabe technology and services promoted as satellite ...

(PRWEB) March 13, 2004

Research and Markets announces the addition of this new report entitled ?DVB-S2 Technology and Markets? to its offerings.

DVB-S2 is a soon-to-be-ratified air interface protocol specification designed to promote the development of interoperable technology and services in the satellite broadcast and communication markets. Despite having European origins, DVB-S, its predecessor, has been widely adopted as an international standard by satellite operators and service providers around the world.

DVB-S2 satisfies the evolutionary needs of the consumer direct-to-home services market and sets the stage for a paradigm shift in the delivery of broadband interactive services via satellite. Adaptive coding and modulation techniques along with Ka-band spotbeam payloads have the potential to markedly reduce service provisioning costs on the forward channel. Monthly bandwidth costs per subscriber for Internet downloads can drop from $ 50 to $ 20 over conventional bent-pipe transponders and enable consumers and small businesses to connect via satellite.

This report analyzes three prospective market segments for products based on the DVB-S2 standard: broadcast applications, interactive services and professional systems. Extensive interviews with 30+ technology providers indicate that such products will be available for release in the next 12 months and will target applications such as distance education, content distribution, hybrid DVB-IP systems, DVB-RCS networks, business TV, videoconferencing, MPEG-4 broadcasting and traditional VSAT solutions.
