Revenue generation opportunities by offering broadcast over VSAT in addition to Internet services

Operators of video contribution and distribution networks increasingly find themselves in a situation of operating a small scale network of remote vehicle, contribution sites and distributions points. These sites have varying demands for bandwidth and connectivity requirements for remote management and planning. Typically these networks evolve from broadcast networks with a small scale data overlay for monitor and control – increasingly it makes sense for these networks to be operated by a service operator who typically offers internet connectivity, but using recent advances in VSAT network design can be readily combined to offer broadcast capability up to 4k UHD resolutions.  This presentation will describe a satellite networking solutions that efficiently combines both broadcast and data operations to optimize satellite resources while increasing the robustness of the network and creating opportunities for additional revenues and cost savings.
