Want to test MVDS
technology in your area?
ELVA offers you City1 TV TestKit!
40.5-43.5GHz Multipoint Video Distribution Systems (MVDS) have recently
gained a wide popularity as a local cellular point-to-multipoint
radio system delivering broadcast services from a central
transmitter (base station) to individual houses or apartment
blocks within its cell (client stations). The primary advantages
of MVDS are rapid infrastructure deployment and the ability to
provide on-demand content to local consumers. For a local
Network Service Provider it can be significantly cheaper to
install MVDS than a cable system since only homes requesting the
MVDS services would be provided with receivers. From this view,
MVDS can be applied as a supplement of the broadband Cable TV
network (CATV), as a substitution of the CATV or Direct
Broadcast via Satellite (DBS) or as a cable backbone alternative
during the building up or extension of parts of a cable network.
Along with one-way broadcasting distribution, MVDS wireless
technology has the potential for providing expanded TV services
like video on demand, as well as a low-cost integrated medium
for providing voice and data services. This allows local ISP to
offer local consumers a bunch of sanguineous multimedia services
and high speed access to Internet. Since this wireless
technology can be a quick, simple and cost-effective solution,
it might be a good business expansion idea for the new
competitors of the old established operators while the
liberalization trend plays its dominant on the telecommunication
market.
To
help local Network Service Providers to evaluate the
competitiveness of MVDS technology on deployment of broadband
multimedia and Internet services at their areas and check the
performance of ELVA’s MVDS equipment, we announced the
availability of City1 TV TestKit. The City1 TV TestKit is a
promotion-discounted demo kit, that intended for evaluation of
Digital TV broadcasting mode of City1 system in a real field
environment. It consists of one base station and two terminals.
To generate a test TV signal for further broadcasting, the
TestKit included the Satellite receiver/Base station interface
unit. This unit is included for test purpose only, or in other
words, it allows to catch up one of the locally available
satellite TV channel and transmit it to client stations at
42GHz. This ELVA’s equipment, together with standard satellite
receiver and digital TV receiver is enough to test digital TV
mode of City1 and check the transmission quality/performance
rate.
The City1 TV
TestKit can be also tested for IP broadcasting. In this case IP-Encapsulator
and DVB-S Modulator required to be added to the Kit. While
ELVA's IP-Encapsulator is a standard shipment option, a
potential customer of the City1 TV
TestKit is free to choose any of third-party DVB-S Modulators that are
widely available on the market.
