NovelSat, a satellite bandwidth optimisation company,
announced that its NS3 satellite transmission modulation technology is now
available worldwide.
NS3 increases satellite bandwidth by 20 to 55 percent
over current DVB-S2 and DVB-S standards respectively for 36 MHz transponders,
and up to 78 percent for 72Mhz transponders with the highest data rate of up to
358Mbps.
Finally, the choice of upgrade is no longer limited to
DVB-S2 or nothing. NovelSat brings to the table a brand new set of upgrade
options that vastly exceeds DVB-S2’s broadband efficiency capabilities, while
being fully backwards compatible with the earlier generations of DVB-S and
DVB-S2, allowing for a seamless transition.
NS3 is based on cutting edge signal processing
techniques. It applies a unique and powerful mix of algorithms that normally
tend to cancel each other out.
FPGAs/ASICs provide the algorithms with virtually
unlimited computational power. NovelSat has demonstrated that NS3 enhances
spectral efficiency, through the physical testing of the technology with global
customers, and over six satellites.
More than ever before, CTOs, network VPs, engineers, and
procurement managers are trying to protect the value of their planned equipment
purchases, especially while preparing for the global events unfolding in 2012,”
said Itzik Wulkan, CEO at NovelSat.
The London Olympics, Euro Cup, and the upcoming US
Presidential elections are just a few of the major activities to be transmitted
worldwide in HDTV and 3DTV thus demanding the most bandwidth capacity in
history.
As the industry invests in new equipment, they need to
buy future proof equipment that is not only DVB-S2 but also NS3 enabled. They
need to be aware of the major satellite transmission enhancements offered by
NS3 to avoid buying new equipment which is already obsolete.
