Confirmed companies for the panel include Intelsat, Measat, Newtec, Newsat, SES and Speedcast confirmed for panel. This is a free event and the session will be preceded by a presentation on the topic of the continued drive for more and higher quality content (s.a. HD channel launches and UHDTV), which has initiated the development of a more efficient satellite transmission standard in DVB. This is especially crucial, as a new DVB standard is anticipated to be available as early as the fall 2013.
In this session, attendees will learn and obtain insights in…
- What DVB-S2 Extensions are about
- The results of real tests of the new technology
- When and how broadcasters, satellite service providers and operators will migrate to the more efficient transmission (based on an industry survey with >700 participants from >400 companies)
- Migration scenarios of today’s contribution and distribution networks, to the new generation DVB-S2 technology.
Newtec will then be hosting the executive panel session themed Future Network Technologies, which will discuss the market drivers, applications and technological and commercial impacts of the new S2 Extentions. The panel will be moderated by Newtec’s VP Market Strategy, Thomas Van Den Driesssche—confirmed speakers include:
- Stephen Good, VP Network Services Product Management, Intelsat
- John Loke, VP Commercial Engineering, Measat
- Serge Van Herk, CEO, Newtec
- David Ball, CTO, Newsat
