Satellite Mobile TV Infrastructure
S-band satellite solution is an efficient and proven way to deliver high quality broadcast media to mobile devices
Description
1. Broadcasting center packages and encrypts the content
2. Broadcasting center transmits the content via Ku-band to the satellite
3. Satellite transmits the content to approved mobile phones
– Via S-band to mobile phones in line-of-sight
– Via Ku-band to the gap filler network, which then transmits S-band signal to mobile phones not in line-of-sight
GPRS/EDGE/3G network provides return path for interactive services like Pay per View, Video on Demand, Music on Demand and Gaming

Terrestrial Solutions Hybrid Satellite/Terrestrial Solutions
Spectrum Scarce UHF frequencies
Limited bandwidth
Wider bandwidth allowing higher number of channels
Costs High CAPEX for ground infrastructure
No economies of scale
Infrastructure and content costs are shared between several countries in the MENA region
Coverage Service is limited to network deployment area
Increasing coverage requires substantial costs
Coverage everywhere
Most efficient solution to cover rural areas
Roaming Networks in various countries are isolated Seamless mobile TV roaming within the
MENA region
