Estimados Lectores,
Esta vez TELE-satlite dio el Premio a la Innovacin a un producto que esta realmente en el otro lado . Normalmente TELE-satlite se enfoca en los receptores y no en los transmisores. As, por qu el cambio? Porque con IPTV - la TV va Internet - est empezando a desplegar una nueva era ! Por qu es eso? Echemos una mirada ms ntima a la tecnologa de la recepcin: no le importa si la recepcin es por satlite, terrestre o cable: haba siempre dos lados en la tecnologa - un transmisor y un receptor. No importaba si la seal de la TV estuviera enviada inalmbricamente, esto es, transmitida va satlite o terrestre, o a travs de un cable como en una red de TV de cable, cada canal tena que ser transmitido simultneamente y entonces seleccionado por el sintonizador en el receptor. Pero este principio bsico no es verdadero para IPTV: el transmisor de IPTV slo enva el programa especco que el receptor del otro extremo ha pedido. No hay ya ningn sintonizador! Al principio al mirar esto no tiene que ser algo de gran importancia pero despus de echar una segunda mirada se comprende que un receptor de IPTV es de lejos mucho menos caro. Un receptor de IPTV es un receptor sin sintonizador. Algunos fabricantes incluso le dieron nombre estos receptores receptor sin sintonizador ; los componentes restantes de un receptor de IPTV son casi idnticos a aqullos que pueden encontrarse en cada receptor de satlite, terrestre o receptor del cable. Los receptores sin sintonizador tambin quieren decir algo ms: no hay ninguna antena! El espectador siempre es responsable de los costes de montar una antena apropiada sea para un plato del satlite o una antena terrestre. Con una red del cable, el proveedor era responsable de los costes involucrados en la instalacin del cable coaxial hasta el saln del espectador. Pero el proveedor poda despus recuperar estos costes a travs del cargo mensual que el espectador tena que pagar por el servicio del cable. En otras palabras, los costos de la recepcin siempre se ponan del lado de los espectadores. Con IPTV estos costes han desaparecido en su mayor parte. Una conexin de Internet es considerada normal como lo es hoy una conexin elctrica. TELE-satlite nunca discuti cmo proporcionar a un receptor la energa; era obvio! Y estos das est tambin seguro de asumir que cada espectador de TV tiene una conexin de Internet. No hay ninguna necesidad de preocuparse por cosas que son obvias. Si se puede asumir que cada casa tiene una conexin de Internet, esto signica que la IPTV se ha vuelto una manera la alternativa barata para mirar la TV. Y esto tambin es verdad para los proveedores de programas que tienen que considerar esto tambin. Reconocidamente, ya que nosotros todava estamos al principio de las fases de acceso generalizado a Internet de gran velocidad, la realidad es que nosotros no hemos ido bastante lejos todava, pero est claro que el desarrollo est entrando esta direccin. Con la transmisin IPTV de un canal as como la recepcin de ese canal es tan barata, cualquiera puede ser potencialmente un director de programacin.
TELE-satlite fue fundada en 1981 y hoy es la revista comercial ms vieja, ms grande y la leda por la mayora del mundo. TELEsatlite es consultada por ms de 350.000 profesionales de la TV digital alrededor del mundo y est disponible ambas formas impresa y en lnea. www.TELE-satlite.es
Ahora se est volvindose a vivir la interminable libertad que la TV del satlite nos dio hace unas dcadas, y que ahora en la edad de la IPTV pone a disposicin de los programadores una libertad interminable: cualquiera puede ser un director de programacin y se pueden transmitir los tantos canales como ellos quieran. No hay ninguna limitacin!

NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x

Ahora Tambin Se Puede Ser un Director de TV!

Hasta hace unos aos TV va Internet o Ethernet estaba ms all de nuestra imaginacin. Hoy, sin embargo, la alta capacidad los cables de bra ptica y las continuas conexiones de la banda ancha hacen que halla vuelto una realidad. La IPTV es una opcin para muchos y en estos das compite contra el satlite y televisin de cable. Se ha pensado alguna vez sobre cmo son realmente distribuidos los contenidos va IPTV?
Para contestar esa pregunta nosotros mirbamos el Gateway de DVB-IP ofrecido por NetUP que es el sistema ideal para pequeos sistemas como hoteles o hospitales, pero tambin para usuarios privados o quien sabe, para todo aquel que quiera distribuir contenidos de TV en Internet. El Gateway DVB-IP 4x de NetUP es un producto profesional que signica que toda la tecnologa se condensa en una caja de rack de 19 pulgadas. Adems, los interfaces de conexin ms importantes se localizan en los dos paneles delantero y trasero que es otra indicacin clara que este Gateway no es para la presentacin al lado de la TV, sino que debe instalarse ms bien en un armario especializado de servidores o en un rack de 19 pulgadas profesional. En el panel delantero se encuentra un LCD de dos lneas muestra el modo actual de funcionamiento y proporciona una valiosa ayuda durante la instalacin inicial de las interfaces de red. Hablando de ello, hay un total de seis conectores de red que pueden programarse individualmente. Encima de estas conexiones hay 10 LEDs y cinco botones a su derecha que permiten directamente el mando de la unidad. Aparte de los conectores de red arriba expresados hay dos conectores USB para enganchar sistemas de almacenamiento multimedia externos y un puerto de RS-232 para publicar la informacin de estado en una consola externa. Al mirar el panel trasero nos sorprenden las cuatro entradas de IF de satlite. Son necesarias para recibir las seales que posteriormente se procesarn.

NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x Facilidad perfecta de uso, combinado con una tecnologa able - ideal para los proveedores de IPTV.
Como nosotros est hablando sobre un dispositivo profesional no nos resulta sorprendente que cada entrada de sintonizador est provista con una ranura de Interfaz Comn especializada. Esto signica que pueden colocarse un mximo de cuatro mdulos de CI que puede usarse en relacin con este equipo que tambin viene con un interruptor mecnico de alimentacin. Todos los componentes alardean de un calidad extraordinaria, la unidad de alimentacin de potencia integrada permite que la mayora de los competidores exclusivamente se pongan plidos por la comparacin. El modulador viene con 2 GB
de memoria de interna y un disco duro de 1 TB. El uso profesional en la mayora de los casos signica el uso permanente, por lo que un nmero suciente de ventiladores pueden generar un rme ujo de aire fresco. Sin stos, muchos de los componentes sensibles se arriesgaran a tener un exceso de calor, qu nalmente producira el fracaso. Aqu tambin, es ms evidente que este Gateway no esta diseado para el uso en el saln, pues los ventiladores crean un ruido que fcilmente podra igualar al de una aspiradora normal. Mirar la TV al lado de este equipo es casi imposible, pero como mencionamos previamente, este Gateway debe colocarse sin embargo en un cuarto especializados para servidores, dnde los ventiladores puedan zumbar alegremente. El fabricante enva este sistema con un rango completo de accesorios de montaje para que la caja pueda encajarse en cualquier rack normal de 19 pulgadas o en un armario de servidores. El manual que viene con el equipo tiene un diseo muy amistoso para el usuario y debe contestar cualquier pregunta que podra levantarse en la vida. Antes de poder acceder al Gateway por primera vez se

debe colocar una conexion de red. Con este n se conecta directamente a una de las seis interfaces de red disponibles cualquier PC o un enrutador, y se asigna una direccin de IP. Los cinco botones en el panel delantero juegan un papel importante aqu, as como el visualizador LCD. En teora, se pueden poner direcciones IP para tres conectores de red directamente en la unidad; por simplicidad nosotros recomendamos empezar con un puerto y tratar de seguir con los otros cinco a travs de la interfaz de web que se est disponible una vez el se ha colocado una IP en el primer puerto. De esta manera todos los ajustes pueden seleccionarse en el navegador Web del PC. En cuanto se ha asignado la primera direccin de IP a una entrada, todos lo que se necesita hacer es entrar esta direccin en la lnea de direccin de su navegador y acceder al servidor de web incorporado. Se necesita entrar correctamente el nombre de usuario y su contrasea que estn asignadas por defecto a los valores normales. Nosotros recomendamos poner un nombre de usuario y contrasea individual para asegurarse que la entrada est fuertemente protegida del acceso desautorizado. La interfaz Web es sumamente fcil usar y se parece MS Windows, por lo que la mayora estarn familiarizados con l. En el men principal hay cinco sub-mens (Archivos, IPTV, Administracin del Sistema, Conguracin del Sistema y Estado del Sistema), con los de conguracin y administracin que estn sobresaltados, por supuesto. Con la ayuda de este interfaz Web pueden controlarse separadamente los seis puertos de red integrados, y tambin pueden visualizarse los datos de uso para cada uno de ellos. En caso de que se est preguntando por qu estn disponibles un total de seis puertos Ethernet, cuando con un solo funcionaria, la res-

puede prepararse y pueden congurarse individualmente. Disponen de todas las caractersticas que nosotros hemos venido esperando de los receptores para el uso en casa, como la bsqueda automtica, las extensas opciones de DiSEqC y la bsqueda ciega, hay otras cosas tcnicas que no estn disponibles por estar diseado como equipo profesional y por lo
sintonizador, as como denir la conguracin de DiSEqC simple y activar las seal de 22 kHz. Adems se necesita codicar la frecuencia del transpondedor requerida, la proporcin del smbolo para usar y la polarizacin, acabando con la alimentacin correspondiente para el LNB. En cuanto el Gateway ha descubierto un transpon-
1
puesta es bastante simple: Con varios puertos de Ethernet es posible distribuir los canales en los varios niveles diferentes, y los contenidos multimedia podran proporcionar canales que no estn disponibles en otro nivel de distribucin. As entonces es posible crear hasta seis paquetes de canales diferentes que todos son recibidos y procesados por la misma entrada, pero puede componerse de canales completamente diferentes y qu pueden distribuirse, comercializarse o pueden venderse individualmente. Adems, a cada adaptador de red se le puede asignar una IP diferente que dirija a los niveles que estn disponibles dentro de la misma arquitectura de la red. Hay tambin nalmente, la pregunta sobre el ancho de banda puesto que los contenidos de alta denicin puede llamar para la distribucin adelante ms de una conexin. Nuestro dispositivo de la prueba vino con cuatro sintonizadores de DVB-S2 con los que nosotros pudimos recibir, procesar y distribuir las seales del satlite. Dependiendo de las especicaciones del cliente, sin embargo, el NetUP DVB-IP Entrada 4x tambin podr recibir DVB-T, DVB-C y seales analgicas, con mdulos de la recepcin que se intercambian similar a los componentes de hardware Plug&Play. El fabricante est trabajando actualmente en llevar
a cabo estas caractersticas, porque ahora mismo slo estn disponibles los sintonizadores de satlite. Cada uno de los cuatro sintonizadores de DVB-S2
tanto el alcance es diferente al de cada aplicacin. Con el Gateway NetUP DVB-IP 4x es posible colocar parmetros de LOF individuales colocados para cada

Una vez el sintonizador ha identicado y ha sintonizado una seal, aparece un artculo del men especializado que se usa para desplegar el contenido completo del transpondedor. Cada canal descubierto (no importa si es de TV o de radio) se muestra con todas sus especicaciones tcnicas (PID audio y video). Si se proporciona ms de un PID (en caso de las huellas de audio mltiples, por ejemplo) se puede denir qu PID ser distribuido. Es entonces es necesario asignar una IP multicast, un puerto y una de las seis interfaces Ethernet para cada canal seleccionado. Tambin es absolutamente posible que un canal puede asignarse a ms de una Ethernet y multicasts o puertos para distribuirlo en varios niveles.

de EPG de los canales recibidos que se reenva ms all con un proceso middleware y de esta manera proporcionarlo a los receptores IPTV. En nuestro ajuste de prueba nosotros escogimos enviar las seales de cuatro satlites diferentes al Gateway. En detalle, las seales vinieron de los transpondedores siguientes: BBC en ASTRA 28.8 Este, MBC en NILESAT a 7 Oeste, ORF en ASTRA 19.2 Este y un cuarto transpondedor del TURKSAT a 42 Este. Incluso probamos de llevar a los sintonizadores al lmite con una seal bastante dbil de ABS1 a 75 Este que los cuatro pudieron reenviar por completo el video y el audio. Nosotros simplemente no podramos esperar ms! En total nosotros llegamos a unos impresionantes 32 canales de TV que se unieron en un multicast que usaba la direccin IP 224.200.200.201. Nosotros tambin podramos dejar el puerto con 1234, por ejemplo, y distribur canales individuales que usando direcciones IP separadas como 224.200.200.202, 224.200.200.203 y as sucesivamente. En el extremo del receptor nosotros usamos un AzBox Ultra HD (ver el informe de prueba en la edicin anterior de TELE-satlite de 08-09/2010), qu actualmente es uno de los muy pocos receptores capaz de procesar IPTV junto a DVBS2. Ajustar el AzBox para recibir los canales de nuestra propia red de IPTV fue muy fcil y nosotros pudimos visualizar una lista de 32 canales en muy poco tiempo. No tiene ningn sentido el ajustar una red de IPTV para un solo receptor cliente, es por lo que nosotros extendimos nuestra instalacin para incluir varios PCs en nuestra ocina editorial para el acceso a IPTV. El software reproductor VLC (disponible en www.video-
lan.org para varios sistemas operativos) ha resultado ser una solucin hbil para la recepcin de IPTV en el PC, y no importa cmo duro fuese lo que nosotros intentamos, no haba ninguna manera de que nosotros pudiramos hacer vacilar al Gateway. No hubo incluso de hecho, ni el ms ligero pixelado. Esto signic que nosotros tenamos que inventar una imaginable prueba que hiciera ms duro el uso del Gateway. Qu hay sobre transmitir la TV britnica a un colega en Thailandia va IPTV? Lo primero que hicimos nosotros fue el preparar una conexin de VPN usando dos enrutadores Netgear en cada extremo antes de encender el Gateway de IPTV. Slo
haban pasado unos segundos cuando nuestro colega que nos avis por Skype y nos hizo saber que nuestro esfuerzo tuvo el xito. Lo que merece la pena y nosotros tenemos que mencionar en esta fase que nosotros tenemos un acceso de Internet muy rpido en nuestra ocina que ofrece una velocidad de subida de algo ms de 20 MBit/s. Algo menos no seran suciente para unos contenidos en alta resolucin. De todos modos, nuestro compaero tailands se asombr por la calidad audio y video as como la velocidad de los paquetes de IPTV que nosotros le envibamos. Gracias a l soporte de

DVB-S2 el Gateway no slo es capaz de recibir y distribuir seales de SDTV sino que tambin de HDTV MPEG4/H.264. Nosotros no descubrimos ninguna falta al reproducir contenidos HDTV va IPTV. Adems, el Gateway descubre automticamente y ajusta a los parmetros tcnicos como la modulacin y la correccin del error que son una caracterstica que nosotros no podemos alabar bastante favorablemente. La impresin global impe-
cable del Gateway NetUP DVB-IP se complementa ms all por varias opciones de asignacin de rutas, el disco duro integrado de 1 TB as como una caracterstica de actualizacin del software muy amistosa al usuario. Todo lo que se requiere es descargarse el ltimo Firmware del sitio webs del fabricante y entonces transferirlo al Gateway NetUP DVB-IP 4x va la red usando FTP. Aparece inmediatamente en el men de actualizacin, completa con el nmero de la versin exacto, y puede cargarse e instalarse con un simple clic. Los seis puertos de Ethernet son compatibles LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit por el que ellos soportan el mximo actual que es tcnicamente factible. El propio Gateway es capaz de procesar simultneamente hasta cuatro transpondedores con un ancho de banda global de 240 MB/s. Con sus dimensiones de 430x44x411 encaja exactamente en un rack normal de 19 pulgadas normal o en un armario de servidores, y siendo su peso enorme de 11.5 kg (principalmente debido a su fuente de alimentacin de alta potencia suministrada en la unidad). Como se esperara de un equipo profesional, el Gateway automticamente el reinicia despus de un corte de alimentacin e ingresa en el modo que estaba trabajando antes del corte. El rango de voltajes de 90 a 240 VAC y 47 a 63 Hz en que puede trabajar la fuente de alimentacin permite uso global del Gateway. Cuando est funcionando el Gateway NetUP DVB-IP 4x consume
aproximadamente 100 W de potencia. Mientras que el Gateway NetUP DVB-IP 4x es un componente que para muchos puede estar diseado para IPTV conectado a una red de computadoras, puede usarse tambin por supuesto para su propia causa, como nosotros hiciramos en nuestro sistema de prueba. Es responsable de procesar y convertir una seal de DVB en un formato compatible IPTV y as sirve como una interfaz entre seales DVB y una red de IPTV. Los receptores del cliente, por otro lado, simplemente cambian entre los canales y paquetes que usan direccionamientos IPs y puertos diferentes. Con este planteamiento en la mente el Gateway podra actuar como un acoplador conveniente para los abastecer seales a varios monitores dentro de un edicio, y naturalmente, distribuir las seales de satlite, cable o terrestres va una red o Internet. Hablando de esto, todava esta por ver si nuestro colega tailands nos permitir desconectar nuestra entrada de prueba, puesto que parece haberse vuelto un adicto de la BBC en el entretanto. l se opone fuertemente a nosotros que nalicemos la prueba, puesto que los canales de la BBC que l puede recibir en este momento no estn por otra parte disponibles en Thailandia. En la mayora de los casos, sin embargo, el Gateway de DVB-IP se usar como un componente ntegro en una red de IPTV mucho ms com-
pleja. Con este n el Gateway se conecta a un middleware que crea un OSD grco especco por proveedor y presenta los canales procesados para que sean de fcil uso y visualmente con un diseo agradable. Los operadores pueden agregar incluso VOD (video sobre demanda), teniendo en cuenta otras caractersticas especcas para el cliente que hacen un sistema perfecto para crear una red de IPTV para hoteles, hospitales, edicios de apartamento o campos similares de aplicacin. Nosotros debemos agregar que en esta fase el NetUP no slo ofrece su Gateway como un solo componente, sino que tambin unos sistemas de IPTV completos para dar soluciones llaves en mano. sto puede incluir el middleware correspondiente y el VOD, aparte de la entrada al centro de la red. El IPTV Combine 4x es uno de estos sistemas, y aqu de nuevo nosotros podemos decir con la conviccin que el fabricante no ofrece las soluciones sin entusiasmo:
Ambos los Gateway DVB-IP 4x y el IPTV Combine 4x con el middleware incorporado estn basados en exactamente el mismo hardware. As que si un cliente ya opera el Gateway DVB-IP 4x y necesita actualizar su sistema a IPTV Combine 4x con el middleware incorporado y el VOD todo lo que l necesita hacer es una compra de la extensin del software para abrir toda la Confabulacin 4x mgicamente sin tener que cambiar un solo componente del hardware. Esta opcin de actualizacin tambin es una de las razones por qu cada Gateway DVB-IP 4x se enva en primer lugar con un enorme disco duro de 1 TB. Su capacidad completa slo se requiere una vez que el Gateway se ha convertido en un IPTV Combine 4x con VOD, cuando el disco duro estar lleno con contenidos multimedia para que los usuarios puedan mirar siempre que ellos lo deseen. Nosotros creemos que se puede recoger de lo que se ha ledo hasta ahora que nosotros nos impresionamos de verdad con el Gateway
En el AzBox HD Ultra la lista de canales que consiste en DVB-S y canales de IPTV
DVB-IP 4x durante nuestra prueba. La calidad de diseo extraordinaria y la perfecta facilidad de uso estn entre sus caractersticas importantes. Mientras se tiene en todo momento a mano un comprensivo y bien escrito manual, probablemente sera incluso posible preparar y ejecutar el sistema sin l. Naturalmente, slo pueden encontrarse detalles tcnicos y las indirectas tiles en la documentacin escrita. NetUP usa sintonizado-
res de muy bajo umbral que entregan un seal estable incluso bajo unas condiciones de la recepcin lejos de ser perfectas. Gracias a un total de seis conectores Ethernet pueden congurarse las salidas libremente y pueden distribuirse en niveles diferentes. Un momento culminante adicional est oculto detrs de la caracterstica de actualizacin conveniente que puede convertir fcilmente al Gateway un poderoso sistema IPTV con el middleware incorporado y VOD.

Aqullos que viven a las latitudes bajas y medias tienden a pensar que un plato del desplazamiento siempre tiene su LNB apoyado en el brazo debajo del reector. Pero s realmente un imperativo el instalar un plato de tal manera? Qu hay sobre poner el brazo sobre el plato? Bien, no hay ninguna ley que lo prohba pero se hace por razones prcticas, esto tiene el sentido principalmente para los satlites de elevacin bastante baja (por debajo de 30). Esta razn prctica mantiene el reector tan vertical como sea posible para prevenir que la lluvia, nieve y suciedad se acumule encima de l.
El plato de SVEC montado boca
abajo : el nico montaje en el mstil que SVEC permite montar el plato de la manera inversa. Esto sugiere que est diseado para reas cercanas a las regiones del polo, esto signica en las reas dnde la elevacin para los rangos del satlite deseados de 0 a 40 grados. Otro uso est en ciertas circunstancias, por ejemplo, en un balcn, poniendo el brazo sobre el reector podra ser la solucin cuando el montaje del brazo debajo del reector no encaje.
Un plato del desplazamiento recibe la seal del satlite que viene perpendicularmente a la supercie del reector con un ngulo de aproximadamente 25. Esto signica que para recibir un satlite a la elevacin de 25, el reector se posiciona verticalmente. Si la elevacin es ms baja, el reector debe inclinarse hacia la tierra lo que puede parecer que algo est equivocado con nuestro plato. Por qu no colocarlo al revs y posicionar el brazo soporte del LNB sobre el reector? Eso es exactamente lo que SVEC ha hecho con su plato compensado SK60-PWT19 de 60 centmetro para la banda Ku! SVEC nos envi una caja de cartn pulcramente embalada con dos juegos de SK60-PWT19. Todo estaba en perfectas condiciones. Nosotros estbamos contentos pues este plato viene con los dibujos del montaje y una lista de materiales lo que es muy til en el proceso del montaje. Cada parte del equipo estaba muy bien terminada y encajaban con todas las otras partes sin ningn problema. El montaje fue nada ms que divertido. Si ya se tiene un mstil vertical para montar el plato, todo lo que se necesita usar es una llave inglesa de 10 mm y un destornillador Phillips. Debido al hecho que el acimut y los ajustes del ngulo de elevacin dependen de dos tornillos cada uno, es muy fcil de girar e inclinar el plato fcilmente. El SK60PWT19 no se resbalar hacia abajo en el mstil aun cuando se suelten demasiado los 2 tornillos del anillo del mstil. Hay otro tornillo largo cruzado en la parte de arriba del anillo del mstil y el plato descansar en este tornillo. Ese tornillo es el eje del mecanismo de ajuste de la elevacin. En

algunos casos, sta podra ser una desventaja porque el plato debe sentarse en parte de arriba del mstil. As que si se planea usar el mismo mstil para una antena de satlite y una antena terrestre, tendra que pensrselo antes. Normalmente, el plato del satlite est montado debajo y la antena yagi terrestre encima de ella para minimizar el impacto del viento en el mstil. Los dibujos de montaje que acompaaron al plato mostraban dos maneras de montaje: la manera regular con el brazo del LNB por debajo del reflector (para una elevacin en el rango de 30-90) y la manera invertida con el brazo sobre el reflector (en un rango de 0-40 de elevacin). Se puede ver ambas variantes en las fotografas. El montaje al revs parece un poco raro, pero todo trabaja perfectamente OK y se asume que la elevacin del satlite est en el rango de 0-40. Todava es ms razonable usar la manera tradicional para los satlites entre 30-40 porque el reflector est ms vertical, as hay ms bajo riesgo de recoger la lluvia, nieve o polvo en l. Sin embargo, si le gusta activar la curiosidad entre sus vecinos, el montaje inverso puede ser su opcin. SVEC le da ms que un completo plato. Hay un elemento adicional con un pequeo mstil que se puede usar para sujetar el montaje a una pared, o al tejado. La cosa interesante es: no necesita ser una superficie vertical u horizontal. Si tiene el ajuste liso de 0 a 90 para que se pueda usar y es lo bastante slido para volverse una base de antena. En nuestras prueba nosotros usamos uno de nuestros existentes mstiles verticales. Nosotros medimos primero que el plato de 60 centmetros de un competidor y entonces pusimos el SK60-PWT19 en el
mstil. Los grcos cuentan la historia entera. De hecho el plato de SVEC realiz muy bien su trabajo. Nosotros logramos una seal ms fuerte de aproximadamente
1 dBV y la misma calidad de seal que el producto del competidor. Nuestra conclusin, todo es perfecto con la geometra de la antena de este plato de SVEC.

Medidor de Seal DVB-S2
Tan Fcil de Usar Como Su Hermano Mayor
Horizon HD-S2 Medidor de Seal de Satlite

HOR IZON HDSumamente fcil de usa S2 asombrosa de caracter r, con una lista stic as para los profesionales
10-1 1/2010
El HD-S2 es el sucesor del HDSM USB PLUS - el medidor de seal de satlite que TELE-satlite present en la edicin 10-11/2007. En ese momento el medidor no era compatible con DVB-S2. Pero ahora por supuesto que lo es! Pero ste no es la nica mejora que Horizon ha introducido en su nuevo medidor. Nos dirigiremos a las novedades mas adelante en el informe, pero primero nos gustara dar nfasis a cules son las caractersticas ms importantes de este medidor - su facilidad de uso, ha sido preservada. Nosotros podramos repetir el ttulo del informe en el que nosotros describimos a su predecesor: Incluso un iniciado total puede usarlo todava mantiene cierto!
Como con todos los medidores de Horizon, cuando se entrega el HD-S2, su batera interior necesita ser cargada aproximadamente 8 horas. La fuente de alimentacin est incorporada por lo que slo se necesita conectarlo al enchufe de corriente con el cable incluido para cargar la batera interior. Tambin se puede usar el cable para la carga por DC del enchufe del encendedor del coche. Cuando est totalmente cargado, se puede utilizar por un perodo de ms de 8 horas con su carga mxima. Esto es posible gracias a la moderna batera de Polmero de Lithio (Li-Po). La batera es accesible a travs de una puerta con un ala exible en la parte inferior del medidor, por lo que es posible reemplazarla en el futuro o desconectarlo si se piensa no usar el HD-S2 durante algn tiempo. El panel frontal dispone de dos conectores F, una pantalla LCD con luz de fondo y un pequeo teclado con cuatro botones. Hay una tapa plstica que protege al tablero delantero. El medidor est bien protegido contra las gotas de lluvia cuando usa en el exterior. El conector F de salida est protegido con una cubierta de caucho por lo que probablemente no se usar muy a menudo. La lluvia no tiene ninguna oportunidad para conseguir llegar al interior del instrumento.
Otra capa de defensa contra el ambiente hostil es la funda de nylon. Tiene un prctico bolsillo en un lado y una gua rpida de utilizacin en la supercie interna del ala exible. Las aperturas de velcro le permiten conectar los cables sin sacar el medidor de la bolsa. La correa para el cuello, de longitud ajustable, le permite tener libres las dos manos para ocuparse de un plato del satlite.
El uso
Si se est familiarizado con cualquier otro tipo de medidores de Horizon - satlite, cable o terrestre, realmente no se necesita mucho tiempo para deducir cmo funciona su nuevo HD-S2. La echa arriba de dirige al men de ajustes y la echa abajo al funcionamiento regular. Los botones de arriba/abajo se usan para navegar por el men y los de derecha/izquierda para seleccionar la opcin/valor para un elemento dado del men.
Hay doce artculos del men en el Men de Ajustes: Luz de fondo (on/off), Sonido del clic (on/off), Brillo (0 ...15), Contraste (0 ...50), Reposo (1 ...30 minutos o siempre encendido), Idioma (ingls, francs, indonesio, espaol, italiano, alemn, holands, polaco, sueco, dans, noruego, croata), Unidades de RF (el dBV/dBm/dBmV), Voltaje del LNB (0 o 13/18V), Valores por defecto, Acimut (Mag/Geo), Versin de Firmware y Lista de Ciudades europeas. La ltima opcin requiere alguna explicacin. El Horizon HD-S2 puede calcular la elevacin del plato de satlite y el acimut de cualquier satlite dado. Para usarlo, se tiene que seleccionar su situacin. La opcin del men Ciudades Europeas indican qu regin de observacin est cargada. Escoger una ciudad cerca de su situacin acelera la velocidad del proceso. Dependiendo de su opcin el
acimut del plato se calcularn relacionado al polo geogrco o magntico. Cuando todo est jado de acuerdo a nuestras preferencias, podemos dejar el Men de Ajustes apagando el medi-
dor. Ahora podemos conectar la salida del LNB al conector de ENTRADA en el panel delantero del HD-S2 y podemos poner el medidor en operacin con el botn de la echa abajo. Despus de la pantalla bienvenida, el medidor mues-
tra la pantalla de la bsqueda de seal. En la parte de arriba, est el nombre del satlite y debajo una barra de fuerza de la seal y valor de potencia del canal en dBV (o las unidades colocadas en el Men de Ajustes). Con las echas derecha/izquierda, se puede cambiar el satlite y una vez se posicione en el satlite en el que se est interesado, es el momento para empezar a mover el plato. Mientras hacemos el barrido con el plato, no se tiene que mirar el visor del HD-S2 porque genera unos pitidos. Estos cambian en el diapasn y la tasa de repeticin dependiendo de la fuerza de la seal. Es muy fcil el descubrir la posicin correcta del plato slo escuchando. En cuanto el medidor sintonice la seal recibida, aparece el smbolo de un candado en la pantalla que se muestra como cerrado con llave y se muestra una barra adicional. Presenta la Proporcin de Error de Modulacin (MER). Su valor en dB simplemente se muestra debajo de la barra. El MER es visualizado con una resolucin de 0.1 dB que es precisamente ms que bastante alinear un plato. Sin embargo, Horizon hizo algo ms. Despus de apretar el botn de echa abajo, nosotros podemos ver
cia de la seal, la proporcin del smbolo, la modulacin, el FEC, los cambios de IQ y la presencia de seal piloto (DVB-S2). La lista de valores por defecto del HD-S2 de nuestra muestra de prueba contiene 20 transpondedores de los 13 satlites europeos ms populares. Las unidades enviadas a otras regiones, por supuesto, mostrarn los satlites populares respectivos. La pgina de web de Horizon www.horizonhge.com contiene unas descargas de sub-pginas para el HD-S2, de dnde en el futuro se pueden descargar estas listas especcas rurales. una ampliacin (subiendo verticalmente) de la muestra de la fuerza de la seal y MER. Las lecturas son ahora aun ms sensibles que antes a los cambios en la posicin de la antena. Pulsando otra vez echa abajo nosotros podemos ver la Tasa de Error de Bit (BER) para seales DVB-S o Proporcin de Error de Bit Derivada (DER) para DVB-S2. Si esto no es bastante, nosotros podemos dejar la pantalla de la bsqueda de seal (con el botn de echa arriba), y seleccionar el artculo de Espectro en el men principal. El Horizon HD-S2 nos mostrar entonces una parte del espectro con el canal bajo prueba en el centro de la pantalla. Sobre el espectro se presentan varios parmetros de una manera alterna: frecuencia central, frecuencia limite, polarizacin del LNB y los 22 kHz de presencia en la sealada. Con seales en bajas condiciones de nivel, nosotros debemos usar el artculo del men contiguo: El espectro con un smbolo de la lupa. Otro artculo del men interesante que nosotros podemos visitar es la Constelacin. Como se puede esperar, se muestra el diagrama de constelacin de la seal (QPSK, 8PSK o APSK - dependiendo de la seal). Adicionalmente, LCD nos muestra la frecuenSin embargo, si no se est contento con su lista, tambin se puede generar su propia lista. El usuario puede programar cuatro transpondedores comunes para DVB-S y otros cuatro para DVB-S2. Son accesibles en el men de Personalizacin. Aqu se denen todos los parmetros necesarios: La frecuencia de LOF, la seal de 22 kHz, frecuencia del transpondedor, la proporcin del smbolo, FEC (puede dejarse como desconocido = Auto), voltaje del LNB, cambios de IQ y piloto (solo para DVB-S2; puede dejarse como Auto). Una caracterstica importante del medidor es su habilidad de enviar las rdenes de DiSEqC. El HD-S2 es compatible con DiSEqC 1.0 y 1.1. En artculos separados del men, se puede seleccionar uno de los 2 satlites, uno de los 4 satlites o uno de los 16 satlites. Es ms, el Horizon HD-S2 puede enviar las rdenes apropiadas para manejar sistemas de LNB Twin en los que no slo se selecciona uno de los dos satlites sino tambin la sub-banda y polarizacin. Desgraciadamente, no se puede usar el HD-S2 para controlar motores de DiSEqC. Si piensa que esto es todo que lo que el HD-S2 puede hacer para usted, est equivocado. Por ejemplo, tiene los artculos del men especiales, especialmente para probar el servicio de Internet-va-satlite Astra2Connect que busca los transpondedores dedicados para este servicio. Otra funcin bastante rara es que 37

puede dimensionar el LNB que pueden usarse para vericar por ejemplo si la tendencia de LOF es la razn de perder la seal en un sistema de la recepcin. Adems, el HD-S2 puede probar un cable del LNB incluso para los cortocircuitos o interrupciones. Finalmente, puede anotar los resultados de las medidas en la memoria interior. Usando la aplicacin de Lector de Eventos que puede descargarse para el PC desde el sitio web de Horizon se pueden ver los resultados guardados as como transferirlos del HD-S2 a su PC en un archivo en formato ASCII. Unas funciones ms exticas como la prueba de la salida de SCR y la Funcin de Histograma se harn disponibles descargndoselas de pgina web de Horizon. Ellos extendern la versatilidad del medidor con experiencias reales. Se necesita una alimentacin de 21 V para el LNB para SCR (Conmutacin Simple del Cable) y HD-S2 no tiene ningn problema con eso. Tiene un artculo especial en el men: LNB 21V.
dando unas lecturas extraordinarias. Sin embargo, si se usa el medidor para la alineacin de un antena, que es despus de todo su aplicacin principal, el HD-S2 da las guras exactas para la instalacin. Siempre se pondr a punto sus sistemas de recepcin para una mxima fuerza y calidad de la seal. Con un medidor el mximo MER estaba en 11.5 dB y con el otro a MER = 15 dB. Por lo que se consigue
el mximo a exactamente la misma posicin del plato. Ms importante es que el medidor reacciona muy rpidamente: en ambos aspectos, sintonizando la seal cuando se mueve el plato y mostrando los cambios de la calidad de la seal cuando se escucha la meloda de tonos. Es ms, las lecturas de MER son bastante estables si la antena no se mueve. Estos rasgos son los ms importantes para un practicante de la exactitud absoluta.
Un medidor de peso ligero, compacto y fcil de usar para la alineacin de la antena de satlite. Una prctica bolsa. La batera muy buena. Inesperadamente muchos rasgos en un instrumento aparentemente simple. Rpida sintonizacin y reaccin para sealar los cambios.
No soporta DiSEqC 1.2 y USALS.

LNB Monobloque
para ASTRA 1 en 19.2 E y ASTRA 3 en 23.5 E

En Europa, probablemente el LNBF ms popular monobloque est hecho para un espacio de 6. Un poco menos populares son los LNBF para 3 de separacin. Pero que pasa si se quieren recibir 2 satlites que estn a una separacin de 4.3, como el ASTRA a 19.2 Este y el ASTRA a 23.5 Este? No funcionarn los monobloques de 6 ni de 3. Afortunadamente, algunos fabricantes notaron la necesidad del mercado y desarrollaron los monobloques de 4.3. Uno de esos fabricantes que han visto la necesidad del mercado es Jiuzhou, una compaa bien conocida por los lectores de TELEsatlite. Hace algn tiempo, nosotros probamos sus monobloques de 6 (TELEsatlite 06-07/2008). Ahora nosotros decidimos echar una mirada muy ntima al JQB4P - el monobloque quad de un espacio de satlites de 4.3.
El monobloque se contiene en una caja de metal sellada con silicona. Es bastante pesado por lo que se debe seleccionar un plato con soporte de LNBF bastante slido. Adems

en l. De esta manera nosotros creamos una friccin extra y no haba ningn riesgo que los monobloque cambiaran su posicin espontneamente. La primera prueba que nosotros hicimos fue comparar la actuacin de quad de Jiuzhou LNBF con nuestro LNBF de referencia. Como referencia usamos LNB monobloque universal de bajo ruido para una separacin de 4.3 (NF=0.2dB). Nosotros usamos un plato de desplazamiento de 85x80 centmetros una proporcin f/D de 0.6. Comparamos entre si ambos LNBs en el enfoque y el LNB descentrado. Si se examinan las Figuras 1 hasta la 4, se notar que el quad JQB4P genera ligeramente solo una salida un poco ms baja que el dispositivo de referencia. Para la parte alta de la banda Ku es incluso mejor que nuestra referencia. Nosotros podemos decir que el nivel de salida del JQB4P es muy bueno para redes de distribucin de tamao bajo y medio. Slo para ajustes de antena con cables muy largos se debe considerar la adicin de los amplicadores. Y qu hay sobre la actuacin frente al ruido? Un dispositivo quad puede compararse a la actuacin de un monobloque simple? Los resultados de las medidas se muestran en las Figuras 5 a 8. La actuacin del JQB4P es muy buena, prcticamente igual que nuestra referencia. Normalmente, un dispositivo quad tiene un resultado de peor MER que un dispositivo simple pero no en este caso. Slo para la polarizacin vertical del LNB central nosotros podemos observar una ligera peor actuacin. Se ocupa igualmente bien de las seales polarizadas horizontalmente como en el LNB simple de referencia. Nosotros tenemos aun mejores resultados con el LNB descentrado. Aqu, el JQB4P es ms bueno para la polarizacin vertical y prcticamente el mismo para el horizontal. La prxima cosa que nosotros quisimos probar fue la igualdad de las cuatro salidas del JQB4P. Las guras 9 a 12 nos cuentan la historia: no hay prcticamente ninguna diferencia entre las cuatro salidas. Sobre todo los resultados de MER son casi idnticos. Esto signica que ninguno de los cuatro caminos de la seal es superior o inferior comparado con los otros. ste podra ser el nal de nuestras pruebas pero nosotros decidimos vericar algo ms. Hay otro satlite que est a una distancia angular similar a la del Astra 3 a 23.5 Este. Nosotros nos referimos al Astra 2 a 28.2 E. La diferencia no es 4.3 sino 4.7 no quin sabe, quizs ser posible usar el JQB4P para este par de satlites? Nosotros recalibramos el monobloque en el soporte para que ahora el LNBF descentrado estuviera en el lado opuesto y vericamos la seal. Para nuestro deleite, nuestro medidor despleg la sonrisa verde inmediatamente que signicaba que la recepcin era posible. Para compararlo, nosotros tomamos otro sitio en las dimensiones - vea las Figuras 13 y 14. En las muestras de sintonizacin hay una prdida

Una solucin muy buena para la pareja de satlites ASTRA 1 a 19.2 E y ASTRA 3 a 23.5 E. Una excelente actuacin frente del ruido de ambos LNBF si se comparan con sus competidores de 0.2-0.3 dB Las cuatro salidas son igualmente buenas
Bastante pesado. El adaptador del anillo para el soporte 40/23 debe ser ms digno
de calidad de la seal si se comparan con la recepcin de los satlites con un espacio de 4.3. Se pueden esperar problemas con la recepcin de algunos transpondedores, sobre todo con mal tiempo. Sin embargo, los transpondedores ms fuertes todava pueden recibir. Y no nos olvidemos que este dispositivo no est pensado para esta aplicacin. Nosotros lo estiramos para cumplir nuestra curiosidad (y esperanzadamente la suya). As que la idea mejor es usar el JQB4P para un espacio de 4.3 de acuerdo con sus especicaciones. Estar satisfecho con los resultados. El recibir 2 satlites separados por 4.7 todava es posible pero no todos los transpondedores se garantizan en mal tiempo. Para un uso no normal, se puede considerar usar el JQB4P montado en un plato ms pequeo, digamos, 75x70 cm. En el tal caso, el desplazamiento del LNB debe emparejar con suerte a satlites con un espacio de 4.7.
1. El medidor descubre la alineacin perfecta para 2 satlites. El monobloque JQB4P se usa para la recepcin del ASTRA 1 (19.2 E) y ASTRA 3 (23.5 E) - a un espacio de 4.3. 2. Los monobloque pueden usarse con xito para otro par de satlites: ASTRA 3 (23.5 E) y ASTRA 2 (28.2 E) - espaciados 4.7 . Tambin ahora, nuestro medidor descubre una muy buena fuerza y calidad de la seal.

DOEBIS Comerciante de Satlite al por mayor, Alemania
DOEBIS se est Extendiendo

Exactamente hace tres aos el TELE-satlite public un informe sobre DOEBIS, un comerciante del satlite al por mayor en Alemania. Nosotros pensamos que era una buena hora para preguntarle a DOEBIS cmo han resistido todo el embate de la crisis. Nosotros recibimos una respuesta bastante sorprendente: Nosotros nos estamos extendiendo ! dice Rainer Werking, Gerente de DOEBIS. La compaa us la crisis econmica que comenz en 2008 y en lugar de ralentizarse ellos optaron por una estrategia de carrera: ellos usaron la oportunidad de invertir y principalmente extendieron su fuerza de las ventas.

Claus Ruebesam es el Gerente de Servicio
Tcnico al Cliente. Aqu est haciendo una demostracin de un receptor HDTV HDCI 2010, uno de los receptores JAEGER de DOEBIS, con que DOEBIS quiere aumentar los grcos de ventas.
Wolfgang Paum ha sido el Gerente de Cuentas Importantes desde nales de 2009. l ha estado familiarizado con la industria del satlite desde su principio. l piensa: Mi primer receptor fue un MASPRO . Era por 1988 y desde entonces l es trabaja en varias posiciones en la industria del satlite. Su trabajo en DOEBIS es extender el 56
Equipo de Ventas de Cuentas Importantes: Ahora mismo nosotros tenemos 10 empleados en nuestra Red de Ventas para ocuparse de un gran nmero de demandas de clientes en una base diaria , informa Wolfgang Paum sobre sus actividades. Esta gran movilizacin del Equipo de las Ventas ha tenido resultados: Nosotros esta-
mos esperando ver un aumento en las ventas del 25% para 2010 , explica Rainer Werking mientras nos muestra el grco de ventas, y para el 2011 nosotros estamos buscando otro 10% de aumento . sos son unos excelentes resultados de ventas y Wolfgang Paum
explica la razn para esto: Nosotros hemos agregado dos marcas de fbrica muy fuertes a nuestro surtido: TOPFIELD para el segmento de alta gama y STRONG para el segmento medio . DOEBIS rpidamente permiti a sus clientes conocer todo sobre estos dos nuevos nombres y asi se han obtenido unos resultados de ventas muy buenos. Pero DOEBIS no vende a usuarios nales, entonces, que tipos de clientes de DOEBIS son? Los clientes principales de DOEBIS siempre han estado en la categora de especialistas de instalaciones , informa Wolfgang Paum. Las nuevas actividades del Equipo de Cuentas Importantes han extendido el catlogo para incluir las ventas por correo clsicas as como distribuidores domsticos e internacionales. Tambin tienen una
alta demanda estos clientes que necesitan una atencin muy especial. Rainer Werking nos da un atisbo al diseo geogrco: el 75% de nuestro volumen tienen como destino Alemania mientras que el 25% van al extranjero . Estos porcentajes realmente estn iguales que hace tres aos cuando nosotros informamos por primera vez sobre DOEBIS (TELE-satlite 10-11/2007). Comparando los nmeros de hace tres aos nosotros notamos algo ms: La distribucin de productos tambin ha permanecido sobre lo mismo , dice Rainer Werking, el 70% son receptores, el 10% LNBs y el 5% analizadores de seal . A largo plazo, DOEBIS est esperando un tirn en el nmero de receptores, particularmente los receptores
de SD ms baratos. Por esta razn DOEBIS est buscando los nuevos mercados. Nosotros estamos construyendo nuevos estndares en calidad y nuevas tecnologas , dice Rainer Werking cuando l explica su estrategia de diversicacin. Hacia donde van los receptores de HD, Rainer Werking tiene un poco de sorpresa para nosotros: Nosotros hemos desarrollado nuestra propia marca del receptores ! DOEBIS empez recientemente comercializando su propia lnea de receptores bajo el nombre JAEGER . Esta lnea es el resultado de muchas sugerencias de clientes. Con el JAEGER HDCI 2010 nosotros ofrecemos un receptor de alta denicin en DVB-S2 y con MPEG4 , explica Rainer Werking, otro modelo es el JAEGER HD+ 2011 . Estos dos receptores estn

ahora disponibles; un tercer modelo se introducir con la publicacin de esta edicin; el receptor HDTV JAEGER HD+ 2011 CI+. TELE-satlite est planeando un informe de prueba sobre este modelo en una prxima edicin. Nuestros modelos de JAEGER son Montados en Alemania , revela Rainer Werking. El gerente de Cuentas Importantes Wolfgang Paum contina, Para el 2010 nosotros esperamos una ventas de los receptores de JAEGER estn alrededor del 5%; para el 2011 nosotros proyectamos un aumento al 10%. A medio plazo nosotros estamos buscando que la lnea de receptores de JAEGER constituya aproximadamente 20% de las ventas de receptores de DOEBIS . Como estamos en el asunto de los receptores, nosotros quisimos saber qu diferentes rangos se pueden recibir con los receptores de DOEBIS. Rainer Werking estaba listo con la respuesta: En el 2010, el 65% de los receptores vinieron con sintonizadores del sat-
lite, el 10% con sintonizadores terrestres y el 25% con sintonizadores de cable. Nosotros estamos esperando un aumento en los sintonizadores de cable hasta un 30% y bajar un poco en los receptores terrestres en el 2011 hasta el 8% y en los receptores del satlite bajar al 62%. Los Gerentes de DOEBIS estn esperando para el 2012: Los ltimos transpondedores de la TV analgica se desconectarn y los millones de impelentes de espectadores tendrn que actualizar sus receptores a digitales , comenta Rainer Werking, para entonces nuestro almacn estar lleno de receptores digitales . Si se echa una mirada a la paleta de productos de DOEBIS, se ver que est hecha de productos de calidad superior de algunos de los nombres ms grandes en el negocio. No debe aparecer entonces como ninguna sorpresa que DOEBIS tambin ofrezca el LNB de bra ptica. Ya 5% de nuestros clientes de distribucin slo han optado por el
LNB ptico. , revela Rainer Werking, Para el 2011 nosotros esperamos este nmero pueda aumentar al 10%. Todava podra tomar un poco tiempo, pero llegar el tiempo cuando slo se vendern LNBs de bra ptica. Estos LNBs puede ser caros pero son muy buenos y pueden usarse en cualquier aplicacin ., conrma Rainer Werking. TELE-satlite est de acuerdo categricamente con este sentimiento. Normalmente pasa que unos construyen un camino que todos tienen que seguir en el futuro. DOEBIS es denitivamente uno de esos que construyen el camino. Ellos ven estas nuevas oportunidades y se establecen en ellos. DOEBIS ha estado funcionando durante 22 aos y durante este tiempo ha experimentado todos las novedades tecnolgicas y se ha nutrido de la industria del satlite y todava est pensando continuar creciendo. Eso es lo que ms se parece al xito

Productor de Lectores de Tarjetas inalmbrico SmartWi
SmartWi Conquista el Mercado de los Proveedores

Los lectores de esta revista han estado familiarizados durante aos con el fabricante de lectores de tarjetas inalmbricos SmartWi. En la edicin de TELE-satlite 06-07/2007 nosotros publicamos el primer informe sobre esta compaa danesa que ha propuesto una idea gloriosa: Cmo poder transmitir los datos de la tarjeta de subscripcin de un proveedor de TV de pago a una segunda tarjeta en la misma casa? De repente es placer el ver que puede extenderse desde el saln a cualquier cuarto de su casa. La TV de pago dondequiera que le guste, y una idea inteligente as merece un nombre apropiado tambin: Smart Wi, o SmartWi en corto.

Kurt Olesen es el cerebro inteligente que hay detrs de SmartWi. l fund la compaa en el 2005 y cuando nosotros lo visitamos la primera vez fue en el 2007 en el momento que l estaba montando una ola gigantesca de xito. Se vendieron 60,000 productos de SmartWi en 2007, excepto que las guras de las ventas gradualmente fueron disminuyendo los aos siguientes. En el 2010 nosotros venderemos aproximadamente 35,000 dispositivos de SmartWi . Todava, Kurt Olesen tiene una perspectiva sumamente segura en el futuro, y por una razn: Durante la fecha de la publicacin de esta edicin de TELE-satlite y en la feria de mustras del IBC nosotros lanzaremos la segunda generacin de SmartWi , Kurt Olesen explica y orgullosamente nos muestra el nuevo modelo de SmartWi. Funciona de la misma manera como la primera generacin , contina. Los clientes simplemente conectan la tarjeta de la TV de pago en la unidad y pueden entonces mirar la TV de pago en una segunda TELEVISIN en usando una tarjeta adicional
que se conecta al dispositivo principal va las seales de radio . La nueva SmartWi ha hecho un salto cualitativo que puede verse claramente incluso en el exterior. Jens Glad, el hijo de Kurt Olesen es el responsable para la tecnologa y diseo dentro del negocio y ha determinado un diseo elegante del dispositivo. Mientras que la primera generacin tena aspecto de computadora, el nuevo SmartWi alardea un diseo premiado que casi clama por presentarlo con orgullo, en lugar de esconderlo profundamente detrs del armario. Es un recurso de estilo y ganar fcilmente tambin a la seora de la casa, para que no desespere con las clsicas objeciones contra otra cosa tcnica. Va sin decir que el aspecto no engaa en este caso. Simplemente escuche a Jens Glad listando todas las innovaciones que han tenido lugar: La principal mejora es un procesador ms rpido y la nueva memoria del programa que han doblado en la capacidad de la versin anterior . Esto hace que la segunda generacin de SmartWi sea
considerablemente ms rpida y mucho ms sensible. Pero hay ms. La antena incorporada se coloca ahora en un diseo que le permite funcionar a lo largo del lado longitudinal del dispositivo que constituye la parte ms decisoria de la capacidad de una buena transmisin cuando se compara con el diseo ms viejo , nos explica Jens. Otra caracterstica muy interesante es la segunda ranura de la tarjeta en la caja. El nuevo SmartWi tiene todo el hardware requerido por usar dos tarjetas inteligentes al mismo tiempo , segn Jens Olesen. No se activan modelos que se envan actualmente para el uso de tarjeta duales, pero con un software de puesta al da se abrir esa caracterstica en breve. Los productos de SmartWi de la primera generacin eran principalmente vendidos directamente al cliente, y Kurt Olesen est decidido en entrar en un territorio desconocido tambin en este rea. La segunda generacin SmartWi est claramente
En esta casa en el pueblo pequeo de Krus en el

orientada a la comercializacin por el proveedor. Esto tambin es un motivo por lo que nosotros hemos cambiado el diseo y hemos cambiado al color negro , agrega Jens Glad, quin es el responsable de esa decisin. Con el nuevo diseo los proveedores de contenidos podrn ofrecer el SmartWi bajo su propia marca de fbrica . A propsito, l tiene razn al declarar que
los proveedores ignoran que existe un gran mercado obstinado por lo que se reere a las segundas o terceras Televisiones en las casas. Realmente conoce a alguien con slo un aparato de TV? nos pregunta Kurt Olesen. Todava, la mayora de las licencias de los proveedores a estos clientes est en la oscuridad, porque ellos o les obligan a que pidan una segunda subscripcin al precio completo (qu est fuera de
la pregunta para la mayora), u ofrecen una segundas tarjetas inteligentes a precios algo ms reducidos, pero no hay ninguna manera de saber entonces de nuevo quin usar estas tarjetas adicionales y ninguna manera de asegurarse realmente que ellos se quedan en la misma casa. Si, por otro lado, los proveedores deciden directamente a cualquiera ofrecerles el SmartWi a sus subscriptores o por lo menos ocialmente una licencia de l, cada subscriptor podr usar su segunda o tercera TV de una manera legal, como el rango inalmbrico del SmartWi que slo cubre una sola casa. Esta manera los proveedores de contenidos no necesitan el miedo de que la tarjeta se comparta de una manera ilegal, como esto no es posible con el sistema de SmartWi en el primer lugar. Kurt Olesen est absolutamente convencido que los proveedores de contenidos pueden probar este nuevo gran mercado . Por otro lado l tambin es consciente de un dilema subyacente: Los tcnicos de las compaas de los proveedores estn normalmente abiertos para el SmartWi, pero a las secciones comerciales les preocupa menos la tecnologa o simplemente no conocen que es lo que hace nuestro producto . Sin embargo, Kurt Olesen est seguro de una cosa: El nuevo diseo atraer la atencin de las personas de los departamentos comerciales que realmente estn en camino de dar el primer paso a lanzar la segunda generacin SmartWi para que los proveedores tambin la comercialicen.
Vea
de antemano las imgenes del nuevo SmartWi: el primer dispositivo de la generacin con su diseo de prototipo a la izquierda, y la segunda generacin en SmartWi y sus aspecto elegante a la derecha. El viejo SmartWi aloja la tarjeta de subscripcin en el lado, mientras que la tarjeta desaparece completamente en la nueva versin, creando una apariencia de ladrillo.

De hecho, SmartWi es un producto que no slo cubri un nicho pequeo del mercado cuando fue introducido por primera vez. Este nicho, sin embargo, estaba constantemente extendido gracias a un espritu de innovacin y una estrategia de perseverancia. Una compaa que empez con tres personas se ha convertido en un funcionamiento de 6 personas. Y este nmero puede incluso subir ms all en cuanto SmartWi consiga una posicin establecida en el mercado de los proveedores. La primera seal de xito ya est maniesta: El proveedor eslovaco SATRO ya est usando los productos de SmartWi hoy , nos dice Kurt Olesen y proporciona el testamento al nuevo curso de accin de la compaa. SmartWi est rmemente jado en su jornada de humilde de salida al mercado establecido gracias a un gradual, todava en desarrollo, producto del nicho inicial. Otra historia de xito excitante!

En la esquina ms sur occidental Alemania, cerca del Lago Constance, est situado el pequeo pueblo de Singen que es donde SPAUN ha tenido su cuartel general durante ms de 40 aos. Siempre se ha puesto toda la experiencia ganada en dcadas de especializacin tecnolgica en hacer an mejores los grandes productos. Hoy, la marca de fbrica SPAUN es un sello para los productos de calidad superior e innovadores en el negocio del satlite y ms all. Esto ha llevado a SPAUN a empezar a ofrecer desde hace algunos aos una garanta completa de 5 aos para sus productos. En el curso de todos estos aos Friedrich Spaun, el fundador de SPAUN, y su hijo Kevin que han llevado la direccin de la compaa notaron una cosa. Siempre que un dispositivo se enviaba para su reparacin, el componente que era defectuoso en la mayora de los casos era la unidad de alimentacin , nos revela Kevin Spaun. Y a propsito, este diagnstico es verdad para casi todos los dispositivos electrnicos . Los condensadores electrolticos en estos dispositivos normalmente son la culpa de los fracasos. En el mercado hay varios condensadores electrolticos diferentes que pueden acabar con la vida del producto. Se disean
los modelos menos caros para una vida de servicio total de unas 3,000 horas de funcionamiento, mientras los tipos ms sosticados pueden durar durante 10,000 horas o ms . Obviamente, los condensadores electrolticos no dejan de trabajar de repente despus de 3,000 o 10,000 horas; la vida del producto dada se reere a un promedio de horas bajo la temperatura mxima de operacin y consumo de potencia al mximo. Como estas condiciones extremas normalmente solo ocurren en situaciones raras, los condensadores exceden de mucho stas tasas de horas. Como la mayora de los fabricantes de dispositivos electrnicos, SPAUN us fuentes de alimentacin que las fabricaba un tercero en sus unidades. Despus de todo, una compaa que son productores de multi conmutadores no deben enfocar su trabajo en unidades de fuente de alimentacin, correcto? Bien, si el primer principio de gua es la calidad y se proporciona una extensin de garanta de 5 aos en todos sus productos, su enfoque tiene que estar en cada componente. Al principio nosotros exigimos de nuestro proveedor usar slo condensadores electrolticos de calidad , nos recuerda Kevin Spaun. Pero ni siquiera al nal del da, este requisito no era bastante para garantizar la calidad
exigida por SPAUN. Adems de la calidad y abilidad, un fabricante serio tiene tambin que mirar la ecacia energtica, y por lo que SPAUN comprendi nalmente que sus especicaciones para las fuentes de alimentacin fabricadas por terceros se haban hecho tan complejas y exigentes que empez el sentido de fabricarlas por ellos mismos y mirar produccin interna de estos componentes. Los fabricantes independientes siempre tienen que mantener un equilibrio entre los costes y la calidad de los componente para poder ofrecer un precio competitivo. Si nosotros, por otro lado, nos lo producimos todo, nosotros tenemos el proceso completo bajo nuestro propio control y podemos seleccionar cada componente individualmente para que el producto a fabricar encuentre nuestras severas demandas. sta es la nica manera de lograr la calidad que nosotros esperamos . Una vez se haba tomado esta decisin, todo fue muy rpido: SPAUN POWER GmbH se fund como una nueva compaa y tambin se cre un nuevo taller de produccin. Nosotros invertimos unos 2 millones de Euros, nos explica Kevin Spaun mientras nos da una visita a los talleres de produccin. La nueva compaa lleva ahora dos aos en marcha. Nosotros estamos en una posicin 69
Un escaparate de muestras
en el rea de la recepcin muestra el rango de productos de SPAUN. La compaa no slo produce las fuentes de alimentacin conmutadas
sino tambin todos los tipos de multi-conmutadores as como conmutadores DiSEqC y componentes para la distribucin de la seal, incluso transmisores y receptores de fibra ptica.
para producir aproximadamente 500.000 unidades de fuentes de alimentacin anuales , y contina. Con este nmero de unidades nosotros podemos no slo equipar todos nuestros propios productos, sino que tambin podemos suministrar a terceras compaas . De hecho, ms del 10% de la produccin anual se vende a otras compaas que han entendido que un coste inicialmente ms alto para las fuentes de alimentacin conmutadas a la larga compensa ms a una vida de servicio extendida. Kevin Spaun detalla el razonamiento con la frase: La calidad siempre gana. Aun cuando puede parecer un mito al principio, desde un punto de vista completamente financiero, el usar componentes ms baratos, el beneficio desaparece cuando los componentes fallan despus de un corto tiempo. Elegir una alta calidad de salida resulta ser una decisin mucho ms sabia . Esto es de una importancia particular para todos los productos que tienen un ciclo de vida que dura muchos aos. Nosotros proporcionamos nuestros productos para sistemas de distribucin de seal en hoteles o en grandes edificios residenciales , l contina. Algunas de estas premisas tienen varios miles de usuarios y el equipo electrnico tiene que trabajar fiablemente durante aos o incluso dcadas sin fracaso . Una compaa como SPAUN puede encontrarse slo en ese nivel de calidad con productos de alta calidad. Si las unidades de fuente de alimentacin requirieren para esa meta no estr disponibles en el mercado, entonces SPAUN tiene que resolver el problema con la fabricacin interna. Todava, la calidad no es el nico atributo que ha llevado SPAUN para ponerse a fabricar unidades de fuente de alimentacin. Nuestras fuentes de alimentacin conmutadas consumen hasta un 25% menos energa que los componentes convencionales . Una cosa que no debe infravalorarse en esto es considerar el hecho que la mayora de los productos de SPAUN se trabajan todo el tiempo y as constantemente requieren alimentacin elctrica. Despus de todo, un multi conmutador o amplificador debe estar corriendo y disponible en todo momento. No hay que decir que los multi conmutadores de SPAUN han estado provistos con un modo de reserva de energa durante aos, pero las economas de energa adicionales de cerca del 30% incluso es un gran beneficio en estos tiempos. Siendo bastante francos, nuestras nuevas unidades de alimentacin se pagan por ellas mismas, , declara Kevin Spaun y explica los clculos. La factura de la electricidad de los usuarios ser ms baja todos los meses y todas nuestras unidades de alimentacin se disean para estas conectadas a cualquier voltaje entre 100 y 240 V lo que las hacen verdaderamente universales , l tambin agrega con una indirecta al potencial para los productos de SPAUN para las compaas fuera de Europa. Actualmente SPAUN POWER emplea tres ingenieros muy especializados y en un futuro cercano nosotros lanzaremos un rango
70
de fuentes de alimentacin conmutadas para proporcionar a alimentacin a LEDs. Nosotros esperamos que ser un mercado de crecimiento significante en el futuro. Naturalmente, nosotros tambin podemos usar nuestra extensa especializacin extensa para desarrollar y fabricar tambin soluciones especficas a clientes . Los nuevas fuentes de alimentacin conmutadas no slo consumen menos energa, sino que tambin usan la energa mucho ms eficazmente. Nosotros estamos mirando un factor de eficacia de ms del 90% , nos cuenta orgullosamente Kevin Spaun. Finalmente, Kevin Spaun nos da una luz en una estrategia muy ventajosa para extender la vida de servicio de las unidades de alimentacin de SPAUN. Nosotros generalmente diseamos las unidades de alimentacin para nuestros productos para que ellos corran a aproximadamente a un 60% capacidad . Quedndose muy por debajo de ese umbral reduce el riesgo de fracaso durante el uso permanente. SPAUN ha aprendido todos los trucos del comercio en sus cuatro dcadas como un fabricante de productos de calidad superior. La decisin de tambin producir las fuentes de alimentacin internamente es un paso adicional en una cadena industrial totalmente optimista y reforzando ms all los productos de calidad superior y fiables de la compaa. Es grande ver que un enfoque estricto en la calidad lleva al xito a largo plazo y se est agradando en ver que el enfoque del precio que parece ser tan prevaleciente estos das no siempre es la manera al xito duradero.

Una Fuente de Alimentacin Conmutada (FAC) convierte el voltaje de CA de red (110-240V, 50/60 Hz) en el voltaje de DC requerido por todos los dispositivos electrnicos como son los aparatos de Televisin de todas clases, receptores de satlite, computadoras porttiles, el multi conmutadores etc.). El voltaje de DC queda estabilizado a la salida aunque consumamos ms corriente de la FAC. Las fuentes de alimentacin viejas (llamadas fuentes de alimentacin lineales ) requieren un transformador grande y pesado que convierte el alto voltaje del CA en un voltaje de CA ms pequeo CA as como un transistor regulador con un radiador para estabilizar el voltaje de DC. Regulando el voltaje de DC en un modo lineal lleva a las prdidas de potencia significativas lo que genera el calor no deseado. De ah la necesidad de un radiador. Las FAC primero convierten el voltaje de CA voltaje en voltaje de DC y entonces hay unos interruptores que van cortando la tensin con una alta frecuencia (50 kHz a a 1 MHz) lo que produce una forma de onda rectangular. Normalmente todava se necesita un pequeo transformador pero ahora es mucho ms pequeo porque es alta la frecuencia, y se necesita un transformador ms pequeo para convertirla. El transistor de regulacin con un gran radiador ya no se necesita porque el voltaje se regula cambiando la proporcin de estados on/off. Las FAC son por consiguiente mucho ms compactas y de peso ligero y tambin son ms eficaces energticamente. stas son sus ventajas principales. Tambin son ms complejas que las fuentes de alimentacin lineal tradicionales. A pesar de eso, se usan FAC casi exclusivamente en todos los equipos electrnicos de hoy en da.

La mquina de insercin de SMD automticamente coloca los componentes de SMD en la posicin correspondiente en la placa de circuito. Esta imagen muestra 10 placas de circuito unidas entre si para la fuente de alimentacin 40/25. Esto significa que se fabrican diez unidades de fuente de alimentacin simultneamente

4. y se colocan por ltimo entonces en el horno para su soldadura. 5. Los componentes ms grandes se agregan a mano a la placa de circuito. Esta imagen muestra el centro de cada unidad de fuente de alimentacin: el transformador. 6. La calidad de los condensadores electrolticos usados determina la vida de servicio de cada unidad de alimentacin. SPAUN POWER slo usa los condensadores de alta calidad para poder garantizar una larga vida en servicio, al mismo tiempo tambin esto reduce dramticamente los fracasos prematuros.
7. Se montan los componentes grandes a esta lnea de montaje. La gerente de produccin Kornelia Kannwischer (a la izquierda) dirige a sus colegas y decide el tipo de unidad de alimentacin que est siendo fabricada. 8. Una vez se han unido todos los componentes en las placas de circuito se ponen en este dispositivo que suelda por medio de olas todos los componentes juntos.

COMPANY REPORT
Satellite Distributor SMART INNOVATIONS, The Netherlands
The AZBox Champions from Holland

It really helps to not only have a good product but to also have a very ambitious sales team. A perfect example of this is the company Smart Innovations in northeastern Holland. The three owners of the company are very much involved with its operation and have helped make the AZBox receivers one of the top selling brands not only in The Netherlands but also in Belgium and Luxemburg. For these three countries, Smart Innovations has taken over distribution of the AZBox.
Zutphen (Amsterdam)
At the moment, Smart Innovations still resides

in one of the apartments in this house in the town of Zutphen in northeastern Holland. The move to a new ofce is coming very soon.
78
The three-man company currently resides in a residential area in the small town of Zutphen, not too far from Apeldoorn and roughly 100 km from Amsterdam. At the moment the warehouse is in the founders garage but this wont be the case much longer. The company will shortly move to a larger building which will include a warehouse. We found out how it all started from Herbert Verheijden; hes really the founder of Smart Innovations. I started the company in 2005, he explains to us. Hes been involved with satellite reception since 1995. My first receiver was the PACE 500 G4. Back then it was one of the first digital receivers available, he remembers. His first satellite dish was 80cm in diameter. He is a software engineer by trade and thus was especially interested in digital signal modulation technology. Via the Internet it didnt take long for him to find people with similar interests with which he could exchange ideas. We still use the www.sat4all.com Satellite Bulletin Board today to communicate with our customers, explains Herbert Verheijden. He met Andr Pelgrim
through this satellite board and found out that he didnt live all too far away from him and was therefore able to meet up with him in person on many occasions. Over the years the two of them worked closer and closer together. The third member of the team is Rinus Lindoorn. Hes the founder and chairman of the De Transponder satellite club which provides extensive information for satellite enthusiasts via its web site www.detransponder.nl. In 2007 the three of them became equal partners in Smart Innovations with each owning exactly one third of the company. Their jobs are all very clearly defined: Herbert Verheijden is responsible for the companys vision, Andre Pelgrim handles the technical side of operations while Rinus Lindoorn watches over the small companys finances. All three of them have a dedication to satellite technology and above all the AZBox. Herbert Verheijden explains how the connection to the AZBox came about: We met Hugo Condessa, the head of
AZBox, at ANGA 2005 and learned about his products. We recognized right away that his boxes were ideal for our market because of its quality and price. The Smart Innovations team immediately began translating the receiver manuals, receiver menus and promotional materials into Dutch. We also started our own support forum at www.azbox.nl, adds Herbert Verheijden. The start of the company didnt go all too smoothly at first: In our first year 2007 we managed to sell only 500 receivers and our second year 2008 wasnt much better, explains Rinus Lindoorn, responsible for the financial side of things. The three agree that the main reason for this weak beginning was that AZBox only offered SD receivers at the time. In 2009 however, sales increased dramatically: In 2009 we sold 1400 high definition receivers and in 2010 we expect that number to climb to 3000, Rinus Lindoorn says confidently. The increase in sales is also due to some other factors. Rinus Lindoorn regularly visits the dealers in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg to highlight the advantages of the AZBox:
The smart idea from Smart Innovations: they are working on a box to convert Infrared to Bluetooth.
This would make it possible to control the AZBox and a state-of-the-art TV system from a single remote control.

antennas with a total of 31 LNBs plus one LNB on a rotary dish. As it turned out, the AZBox had a software bug in its DiSEqC control that allowed the receiver to access 30 LNBs without any problems, just not the last 2 LNBs. They would never have found out about unique problems such as this if they didnt make themselves available to answer everyones questions. At the moment Smart Innovations wholesale dealer network is made up of 25 active dealers in The Netherlands, ve in Belgium and one in Luxembourg. We want to know what sales are like for the individual AZBox receiver models; Rinus Lindoorn looks at his books and says: The AZBox Premium Plus makes up 50% of our sales, the Premium model accounts for 30% while the Elite box makes up for 20%. Those are all high denition models. The actual tuner selection is rather interesting: 60% of AZBox receivers are delivered with satellite tuners, 30% come with combination satellite and cable tuners and the remaining 10% are strictly cable boxes. We noticed that terrestrial tuners are not in the mix at all. Rinus Lindoorn conrms, Theres hardly any demand for terrestrial reception in Holland. When the subject turned to the future, Andr Pelgrim nally had the opportunity to present a surprisingly new idea: The AZBox is the only receiver with a real 1080-line picture and therefore is the perfect match for top-of-the-line TVs. What conclusion can be drawn from this? One of the absolute best brand names available is, for example, Bang & Olufsen. But when you check out the remote control, you nd out that it operates via Bluetooth while the AZBox works with Infrared. The trio has thus come up with an interesting idea: and that would be to work with a supplier of converters on a box that could convert Infrared to Bluetooth. In this way were trying to make the AZBox recognizable with high-end TVs. Smart Innovations is making quite a name for itself. All three business partners are satellite enthusiasts who are intimately familiar with the AZBoxs every detail. They keep coming up with new ideas to make the AZBox even more popular. With such a dedicated sales team AZBox should continue to move upward in the marketplace!
Rinus Lindoorn is responsible Andr Pelgrim is

responsible for the technical side of things. for the nancial side of Smart Innovations.
I visit roughly 30 rms every year, he explains. The other two colleagues dont sit idly around either; they are actively promoting the AZBox in satellite forums as well as in their own support forum. We quickly answer every question we receive, comments Herbert Verheijden adding that the customer is never alone. The three of them actually enjoy answering questions. We are regularly surprised ourselves! For example, recently a customer told us that he has 32 LNBs but could only access 30 of them. A satellite viewer with 32 LNBs? That was new to them. Sure enough, satellite enthusiast Gerard van den Braak in Eindhoven has two multifocus

Satellite Footprints
Satbeams A Website for Professionals
Alexander Derjugin has set some lofty goals for himself. He is the founder and operator of the satbeams.com website the main purpose of which is to reach the professionals. Thats a rather ambitious goal so we wanted to find out from him personally how he intends to reach it. We met up with him in Brussels, Belgium, the city he calls home.
First we wanted to know how satellite reception came into his life. He explains, Im originally from Moscow. I worked there as an IT manager for a big Fast Moving Consumer Goods company. The company transferred me with my family to their European headquarters in Brussels back in 2001. There Alexander Derjugin started to work as an IT consultant in the area of web infrastructure. In 2003 his department was outsourced to another big international company providing global IT services he continues to work as a Managed Web Service consultant. Working in another country is a big challenge and it was very important for Alexander to setup his first satellite dish to receive Russian programs! If we couldnt receive Russian TV, my wife would be very upset and we would just pack and go back to Moscow, jokes Alexander Derjugin. As it turns out, he has his wife to thank for getting his start

the satbeams website. In the lobby of a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, he uses his laptop to explain the functionality of satbeams.com.
in satellite reception. My first satellite system consisted of an 80cm antenna that I used back then to receive SIRIUS at 4.8 east and HOTBIRD at 13 east, he explains. Not long after that, he expanded his system to 100cm. Meanwhile, Alexander Derjugin wanted to learn more about this mysterious technology. As his colleagues and friends also learned of his interest they began asking him more and more questions related to satellite reception. One thing led to another and he eventually became a satellite specialist. As Alexander worked most of the time with web technologies, he one day came across the idea to combine satellite footprints with Google Maps. That was back
charts by any eld like language or band. All of the data is linked together and you can reach almost any information with just 2-3 clicks of the mouse. Alexander is constantly thinking about how he can make his website even more user-friendly. But above all I want to reach out to professionals and implement additional features that would be useful for them. For example satellite providers would be interested to know if their footprint overlaps with footprints of other satellites. So Alexander is thinking of the best way to overlay multiple footprints on the worlds map which would make it easy to see what satellites cover the same area. He sees the future of Satbeams with specialised applications. Interested companies could license the footprint data from me, says Alexander Derjugin, with the monthly licensing fee the footprint updates are locked in. What kind of companies could use his services? First and foremost would be Internet-via-Satellite providers, comments Alexander Derjugin, Satbeams rst customers came from this sector. The footprint data would also be interesting for uplink stations, for satellite providers and also for SNG operators who need to nd the proper footprint for their VSAT systems. Alexander Derjugin discovered an interesting market segment with Satbeams. A website geared specically towards the satellite professionals seems to be a very good idea!
An example from the satbeams.com website: the footprint of EUROBIRD 9A is projected online
onto Google Maps. You can zoom into and out of the map with the footprints matching each individual map. Satbeams has created an electronic version of the footprint of every satellite. Professional users can license the data and then use the data on their own website.
in 2006 and after few months of hesitation he decided to implement this idea. In the Fall of 2007 I contracted several talented programmers who helped me develop the necessary software as well as electronically convert the satellite footprints, he explains. In the middle of 2008 the web site went online with its rst version. Initially, Alexander wanted to use the domain name satcoverage but a friend suggested that satbeams would be better. That name is short, easy to remember and gets right to the point, he says. At rst Alexander Derjugin wanted to gear his website more
towards satellite DXers, in other words towards hobbyists. He implemented the solution that satellite DXers could click on their location via Google Maps and then enter in realistic reception results. But he wasnt satised with the results and decided to redesign the website. In July 2009 the new version of Satbeams went live. Now almost every satellite footprint from around the world was digitized and could be projected onto Google Maps. Dozens of volunteers help me keep all of the satellite data up-to-date, he says. So in addition to satellite technical details and footprints all of the associated transponder data is also displayed. Now hes in the process of making his website more user-friendly. I am focused on usability to improve the user experience, he explains, you can search by channel name or your address and lter the
Brussels
This is what the home of Alexander Derjugin looks like. A Channelmaster 120cm antenna with a C-band and Ku-band LNB can be seen all the way to
the left. This antenna is motorized and can be moved from 57 east to 45 west. A T90 multisatellite antenna is in the center and sports eight LNBs for reception of satellites from 4.8 east to 53 east and all the way to the right is a 125cm antenna for 40 east reception.

Satellite DXers are a rather new species in China. One of the select few is Pepsi in the city of Mengyang of Sichuan province in south-western China. Why would anybody choose the nickname Pepsi, you may ask? Well, thats not difcult to guess: Pepsi used to work for the company by the same name.
Where does the DXer live? Easy to guess, its
the building on which antennas can even be seen from the street below. Pepsis apartment is in this mixed residential and business block, because here he can freely install antennas on the roof.
He has since moved on and now holds a technicians positions at a local packaging company, even though he still sticks to his nickname. We meet Pepsi for lunch at a typical restaurant in his hometown and he tells us how it all began: I started out in 2004 with a 1.5 m dish which I used to pick up signals from ASIASAT 3 at 105.5 East. It was technology rather than content that got him hooked on this hobby. I hardly ever watch TV, Pepsi admits, its rather the challenge of trying to receive even more satellites that keeps me going. This enthusiasm led to an increasing number of satellite dishes over the years. Next to several small dishes with diameters ranging from 45 to 90 cm Pepsi also uses 1.8 and 2.4 m antennas. With great expectations and anticipation we take the trip to Pepsis place in a residential area of the city of Mengyang, some 40 km north of the capital of Sichuan province. Pepsis apartment is located on the second oor of the building and it becomes evident right upon entering that watching TV is not exactly Pepsis favourite pastime. Only one TV set can be seen in the living room, but a total of six receivers. Pepsi loves the technical aspects of satellite television, yet could hardly care less about what kind of content is transmitted. All of his antennas are mounted on the roof of the buildings staircase. Here they dont get in the way of anybody, and nobody gets in my way, Pepsi explains. As a matter of fact, he purposely moved into this area so that he would be able to pursuit his hobby without restrictions. Where I used to live before it was not possible to install large antennas, says Pepsi. It was my hobby that made me move to Mengyang. Talk about commitment! Pepsi even spends his spare time helping other people install their satellite dishes and he has become a well-established satellite expert even beyond his city. Eventually, his hobby might turn into his profession one day. I am currently working on larger projects too, which involve supplying several apartments

MUSEUM REPORT
Radiomuseum Ringsted, Denmark
A Satellite Experts Museum

Alexander Wiese
Over the course of many years satellite expert Bjarne Nielsen has worked up his reputation as Denmarks Mr. Satellite. In retirement now, he has found a new passion in his position as organiser of and driving force behind the Radiomuseum in the small town of Ringsted, not far from the Danish capital Copenhagen. In a TELE-satellite exclusive Bjarne Nielsen opens the museum doors and recalls major events that shaped his life.
Lets start with a remarkable fact: For 15 years Bjarne Nielsen was the publisher and editor-in-chief of Denmarks rst and only satellite-related magazine, with the last issue having appeared in the year 2005. I published a total of 165 issues, Bjarne Nielsen recalls. Each magazine issue featured a test report and a company report, as well as an up-to-date frequency chart. A peak circulation of 4000 was printed in 2000 in the heyday of Bjarnes magazine, but towards 2005 this number had declined to 1400 copies. At the same time the Danish postal service decided to increase postage fees with the result that the whole magazine operation had become uneconomical. What made Bjarne Nielsen create and publish a satellite magazine in the rst place? In 1966 he had began to work as a teacher at the Ringsted technical vocational school, covering the elds of TV and radio engineering well... what else? One of his students made a career as service manager for Swedish company LUXOR in Motala, which in 1980 was in the process of developing its rst satellite receiver. At the time, satellite receivers usually came from the United States. Bjarne Nielsen managed to obtain satellite reception equipment from LUXOR and in 1982 I was able for the very rst time to watch satellite television thanks to a 2-metre dish, he remembers. I picked up Russian
Ringsted (Copenhagen)
TV from GORIZONT, transmitted in the 4 GHz range. Half a year later LUXOR invited him to its Motala headquarters and it was there that Bjarne Nielsen was able to see signals from OTS, the rst European broadcasting satellite, with the help of a huge 3-metre antenna. All his efforts were focused on setting up a dish of his own and by the end of 1983 a 1.8-metre antenna had become an addition to his house to receivee CS1 at 13 east. In case youre still in doubt, were dealing with a serious case of satellite virus infection here, and in his role as a vocational teacher
Three museums in a row in the Danish town of Ringsted:

the Radiomuseum (centre), the mill museum (behind) and Ringsted local museum (right). Bjarne Nielsen runs the Radiomuseum.
Bjarne Nielsen took his chances and raised his students interest for this new technology as well. However, it didnt stop there. Danish companies dealing with satellite products were quick to see the potential of this dedicated teacher and asked him to organise technical seminars for engineers and installers. In 1984 and 1985 I held lots of 3-day seminars to teach more than 1000 professional installers how to set up satellite antennas, Bjarne Nielsen proudly states. His school supported these activities as well, as they were counted as part of the teaching process. This eventually led to the establishment of a satellite magazine in 1990. My school was the official publisher and I was only the editor, he recalls laughingly because nonetheless, all of his free time was put into the magazine.
We even went so far as to stage our own satellite fair at the school, he adds. It took place in 1990 and we were proud to showcase virtually all Danish satellite companies. The fair was repeated one more time, but as it was only successful from a technical point of view rather than from a financial aspect, it unfortunately had to be stopped after only two events. Lets move on to an altogether different stage now and find out what in the world made Bjarne Nielsen run his own museum? By my very nature as a teacher I was in touch with hundreds of young people, all of whom knew that I collected old TV and radio sets. Time and again they would come to school with a disused device, and I was all the more happy for it. In all those years he never had to actually buy a radio or TV, each single one was donated. In 1998 Bjarne Nielsen came up with the idea of displaying all those marvellous wonders of technology in a dedicated museum, and in 2000 he was able to make that dream a reality. The Radiomuseum Ringsted was ready to open its doors! The building hosting the museum was made available by the municipality of Ringsted and lots of locals offered a helping hand to adapt the place for its new use as a museum.
1. Celebrating 110 years: An EDISON phonograph dating back to the year 1900 is one of the collections highlights. This system uses a wax cylinder to record sound. 2. As early as 1936 company AEG invented a tape recorder. The Radiomuseum features a unit that was manufactured in 1938. 3. The BEOCORD from the year 1948 used steel wire rather than magnetic tape to record voices. 2.2 km of steel wire are wound up on a single roll. The wire is led through the device with a speed of 50 cm per second, which means 2.2 km of wire provide a recording time of one hour, Bjarne Nielsen explains. By the way, Danish inventor Valdemar Poulson had this system patented in 1898. At the time, however, the available technology was not ready for real-world implementation. For this you need amplifying which became available only with the invention of tubes.
With a microphone from 1942
(the year of birth of Bjarne) it feels like time travel. Thats the way the pop stars of the time sang their songs on stage.
Some 500 items are on display here, Bjarne Nielsen explains and directs our attention to a breathtaking range of TV and radio sets. But the real surprise is yet to come: What you can see here is just 10% of what I have collected a total of 5000 items are stored in a repository. Now this is quite a revelation where could Bjarne Nielsen possibly store so many items? Were wasting our breath here: In my old school, from which I retired five years ago. Much of the basement there is used up by my TVs and radios, he says and smiles. Indeed, Bjarne Nielsen has collected an almost unbelievable range of different apparatus, and what makes his collection even more unique is the unexpected number of products made by Danish companies. These days only few people are aware that Denmark used to boast a significant TV and radio industry in the past, because today hardly any of these companies are still in business. Enthusiasm and commitment dont diminish with age, and Bjarne Nielsen is perfect proof of that. He has even started to publish a new magazine, only that this time it deals with historic TV and radio sets. Some may think of anybody with such a passion for old technology as an idiot, and Bjarne Nielsen happily picked up this notion for the title of his magazine. While he could not quite get himself to call it radio idiots, he went for Radioten instead. A community of radiots is in the making and Bjarne Nielsen gets together with like-minded enthusiasts on a regular basis to restore old devices. With a well of personal knowledge and expertise available with his co-collectors and with the help of measurement devices from all times, the results of such restorations are nothing short of impressive. One of the unique aspects of the Radiomuseum is its technical capability to copy
1. This portable radio is impressive proof of the state of technology 75 years ago. It was produced in 1935 and had to do without transistors and microchips of any kind. 2. Danish company RUHE produced this TV set (right) in the year 1950. In 1949 first test broadcasts were transmitted from Copenhagen and these sets were made specifically for receiving these signals. The official launch of TV in Denmark took place in 1951, Bjarne Nielsen tells us. And what has seemingly fallen out of the TV to the left? Thats the remote control, he replies. What today is a standard feature for home entertainment devices was a genuine sensation at the time. Of course a remote control in the 1950s was not wireless but rather attached to the main set with a long cable, yet even an early model such as that came with two buttons. One might wonder what the remote control was used for back then. Surely it was for switching channels, right? Are you kidding? Bjarne answers. There was only one channel available in the first years of television. One button was for adjusting volume, the other for brightness. In a time and age with virtually thousands of satellite channels at your fingertips isnt it hard to imagine a time when you had no choice at all?
old video and audio tapes and save them on present-day storage media. We have at hand video recorders for all systems that have ever been on the market, and naturally we keep theses systems operational at all times. Even ancient steel tapes can be played back which comes as a genuine surprise. Steel tape was the predecessor of magnetic tape and was used in the 1940s and 1950s. Time and again audio and video tapes from decades ago pop up and the Radiomuseum is the place to go for playing back or copying their often valuable content. This can be particularly interesting if the tapes include recordings of company assemblies, for instance, and in some cases such historic content may even have legal ramications. In cases like this the Radiomuseum even bridges an existing market gap, as there are hardly any ofcial institutions that keep age-old technology up and running the way Bjarne Nielsen does. In a time and age in which modern satellite receivers are discarded after only a few years of use only to be replaced with yet another new device, a visit to the Radiomuseum in Ringsted is a step back in time. Modern technology is put in perspective when you wander past a sheer endless number of old devices, some of which still working after 100 years if maintained and serviced properly. Bjarne Nielsen and his helpers denitely know how to do just that. His Radiomuseum is well worth a visit. More information: www.rfr.dk
1. Bjarne Nielsen uses the museums basement to keep all types of video recorders up and running. All systems are perfectly maintained and can be used at the touch of a button. Bring us any kind of old video recording and well be able to copy the content on DVD, he proudly says. 2. A rare sight: Bjarne Nielsens fully functional steel tape recorder is a genuine marvel. Even today it can be used to play back steel tape rolls that are 50 years old (like the one he holds in his hands), and to copy them onto present-day storage media. 3. The basement of the vocational school he used to teach at is a maze that serves as storage area for the Ringsted Radiomuseum. Close to 5000 radio and TV sets stand side by side, including the rst HDTV set made in Europe, which used the D2-MAC standard at the time. While this transmission standard is long gone, the TV set remains a reminder of technical innovation in days gone by. 4. Of course, old satellite technology is a given for Bjarne Nielsen too. Here he is seen next to an old presentation antenna made by TRIAX, with the TRIASAT 2000 analogue receiver from 1990 in his hand.

Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) has been awarded a contract to manufacture a new spacecraft for Hispasat. The Amazonas 3 satellite is designed to replace Amazonas 1 at 61 degrees West and is scheduled to be available for launch in 2012. The new satellite will be capable of operating up to 33 simultaneous Ku-band transponders and 19 simultaneous C-band transponders over Europe and North and South America. It will have a launch mass of approximately ve tons and will produce nearly 14-kW of power at end of life.
Malaysian billionaire Ananda Krishnan announced plans to buy out satellite operator Measat Global Bhd. for US$ 207 million to secure full control of the company. The Star newspaper said Krishnans decision to take Measat Global Bhd. private was made after considering the huge capital that needs to be ploughed into Measat... estimated at some US$ 1 billion over the course of the next two or three years.
AFRICA
WORLDSPACE COULD RELAUNCH
WorldSpace plans to relaunch its services in South Africa if a bid by former chairman Noah Samara to buy the company is approved, according to local daily Business Day. WorldSpace, whose satellite radio service was available in Europe, Africa and Asia, led for bankruptcy protection in 2008 after repeated failures to meet debt obligations.

SAMSUNG DSR 9000 FTA
In the search for a digital FTA receiver that is loaded with features but is easy to use, the TELE-satellite International test group stumbled onto the SAMSUNG DSR9000 FTA. One of the requirements of this search was the automatic downloading of software updates via satellite. Receiver software is constantly being improved or updated and not every digital receiver owner has the ability to use a PC to upgrade the receivers software via the serial interface. Samsungs receivers are distributed worldwide and thus software upgrades are made available through various satellites around the world. In central Europe, the ASTRA satellite at 19.2 East can be used for this service. The silver colored chassis and the overall design of this receiver gives the impression that this is an expensive box. The four-digit display shows one of the 2000 possible channels and it can easily be seen even in bright sunlight. A round ring-button lets you change channels and adjust the volume without having to use the remote control. The backside of the box is also nicely laid out. The IF signal is looped-through allowing an additional receiver (analog) to be connected. Two Scart connectors let you connect the box to a TV and a VCR. Audio and video outputs are also available via three RCA jacks. These could be used to connect additional equipment such as a TV projector. The serial interface can be used to upload new software into the receiver if for some reason it were not possible to do this via satellite. Terrestrial antenna signals are also looped-through and the onboard modulator (PAL B/G, I, K in our test model) operates in the entire UHF range. The remote control sits comfortably in your hand with all functions clearly marked thus reducing the likelihood of pressing the wrong button. The rst thing the receiver will do after it has been properly set up and congured for the existing antenna will be to look for new software. If a new update is available, it will just take a few minutes to complete the download. The actual installation of the receiver is extremely simple. It must be pointed out that - aside from the easy-to-understand menus - this receiver also has excellent graphics in its On-Screen display. As a worldwide receiver, the DSR9000 FTA offers six different languages for its menus, EPG and soundtrack. If you happen to be using a Solarsat antenna (test report in TELE-satellite International 10-11/2000), you will nd a special calculation program in the menu. After the antenna and LNB parameters are stored, the active satellites can simply be selected. The integrated DiSEqC 1.2 allows the use of more than one LNB or can be used to drive an appropriate motor. The automatic search function scans all of the

desired satellites (up to 16) in one shot. Only about seven minutes was needed for the Scan function to handle 80 transponders. If necessary the PIDs for video, audio and PCR can be manually entered. Its even possible to connect the receiver to a SMATV system. Once programmed, specic channels can be stored in three different priority lists. Considering that this is a digital receiver, switching between channels is actually quite fast, on average about 1/2 second. Unfortunately, this still does not make for very good Zapping, but even if you were to try, you wouldnt have to worry about any unexpected system hang-ups. In our tests, critical C-Band signals (1.9 Ms/ sec) were easily handled without any loss of signal even though, according to the manufacturer, the box can handle 2-45 Ms/sec. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is very nicely laid out. Here you can display current and future programming information. When switching between channels, a small transparent program information bar appears near the bottom of the screen providing channel name and current program data. A simple push of a button selects the proper soundtrack. The DSR9000 FTA is also Teletext compatible. Switching over to radio mode can
easily be done with the remote control. Program information will then appear on the screen and will also include an attractive background. The EPG can also be accessed in this mode. Unfortunately, the DSR9000 FTA does not have a digital audio output. While we were conducting our tests, new software version 105 became available and was uploaded into the box via satellite. Several bugs that were in version 100 were xed and there were also obvious improvements with Skyplex signal reception. With the DSR9000 FTA, Samsung has developed a truly user-friendly and easy-to-use receiver that is an excellent choice for anyone not interested in receiving Pay TV signals. Clean graphics and menus that are self-explanatory leave behind a lasting favorable impression. Once the box was upgraded to version 105, there were no more lock-ups. Switching channels was better than average and the automatic scan function works quite fast. The receiver comes with a comprehensive user manual. If it were up to us, we would have liked to see a digital audio output and perhaps even a third Scart connector. The good local service provided by the regional importer is also a plus worth mentioning.
MediaCom FTA-Gold
In our unceasing hunt for an easy-to-use free-toair (FTA) receiver with sufficient channel memory, C- and Ku-band compatibility, single and multi channel per carrier (SCPC/MCPC) capability and the ability to control a mechanical C/Ku polarizer, we came across the MediaCom FTA Gold. Free-to-air means that we need not waste any time looking for some CI module slots to allow the reception of PAY-TV. The dark and stylish front panel includes a light green display showing the selected channel number. The FTA Gold has more than sufficient storage capacity with a 3000 channel memory for TV and an additional 2000 channel memory for digital satellite radio. Six unpretentious keys allow operating the receiver without the remote. On the back panel the first feature that catches the attention are the quick-clamps for connecting a mechanical polarizer. This is very important for combined C and Ku-band reception. The receiver also allows for the standard configuration with 13/17 Volt switching of the polarization angles The IF from the antenna can be looped through and thus made available to an additional receiver. Unfortunately the two-scart solution seems to have won over most manufacturers of digital satellite receivers, including MediaCom for the FTA Gold. Analog stereo is output from two RCA connections and an additional connection delivers the video signal. A programmable 0/12 Volt output is available for external switches. The serial interface is designed to permit upgrading the operating software, but it could just as well be used to copy the SatcoDX channel information into the box. Unfortunately the receiver we tested was not yet SatcoDX compatible. A terrestrial TV signal is looped through and an UHF modulator can be tuned over the complete UHF range. All PAL modes and NTSC are supported. The remote control deserves special praise. The buttons are clearly labelled and the layout is very logical. With a touch of a button the screen image can be frozen which is a useful feature. First of all the language of the on-screen display (OSD) menu can be selected from five available languages, including Arabic. The OSD can be changed into transparent mode in five steps and the time-outs for the graphics can be individually set. The brightness of the video is also adjustable in five steps. The FTA Gold is pre-set for almost all satellites around the world. All that is left to do is set up the local oscillator frequencies (LOF) for one or several LNBs. Ten sets of values are already stored in the software but of course the parameters can also be freely selected. The various LNBs and the corresponding dish motor are controlled with DiSEqC 1.2. The search function can be performed either in normal mode (to find all signals) or in FTA mode, where only clear or unencrypted signals will be found. After the initial scan, any time later you can use the update function to scan all transponders for new signals without overwriting pre-existing
and unchanged channels. The receiver takes eight minutes to search an 80-transponder satellite. The graphic design of the search menu is particularly good. Individual transponders can be searched for channels using the manual search mode. It is also possible to key in the PID parameters manually. After a complete scan there are usually some channels to be deleted, moved or added to the favourite list. It is also possible to lock certain channels. The editing menu displays the channel being edited in a small window on the screen and lists all technical specifications at the same time. All these features are very easy to use. In addition, there is an on-screen keyboard which can be used to name and rename the channels. Of course the same facility is available for all radio stations that have been found in the search. Once the receiver is set up and programmed, switching between channels takes 1.2 seconds, which is not very fast. It has to be mentioned in that context, however, that some delays are caused by the broadcaster having changed the packet information data (PID). This means that the receiver has to detect the correct parameters first from the data stream. When changing channels the most significant data about the channel (if provided) and the time are on shown screen for a few seconds. The FEC, polarization and PID data are also shown. Certain channels can be added to the favourites list and can then be accessed quickly by pressing a corresponding button on the remote. There is a sleep mode, which can set to shut down the receiver after a period of time for all those day or night couch potatoes. The MediaCom FTA Gold deserves our Global Approval without any qualifications. Features like mechanical polarizer control, SCPC compatibility, global satellite memory and C/Ku-band reception make it a really universal box. At the same time it is easy to use and has a very well designed on-screen menu plus online help. It is an ideal FTA receiver for the whole family because everybody will be able to use it. The handbook explains all steps of the installation and operation in an easy-to-understand way. During the extended testing there were no system crashes. Unfortunately this is still not always the case when talking about digital receivers.

HISTORY
The modulator operates in all the different PAL formats across the entire UHF range. In NTSC mode, the modulator switches over to channel 3 or 4. The serial interface allows new software and updated program data (SatcoDX compatibility coming soon) to be uploaded. When the box is first placed into service, you will be prompted to select a language to be used for the On-Screen display (OSD) and the audio sub-carrier. From English to German, Farsi, Arabic and even Russian, most of the important languages are available. An extra special feature is the integrated PAL/ NTSC converter. Depending on the TV being used, PAL, NTSC or AUTO can be selected. The colors of the OSD can be set for two individual users. The European version of this receiver is pre-programmed with 13 satellites with room for 10 more. up to block specific programs from a particular age group. In our test, a 12 year old managed to find his way to an inappropriate channel in just four minutes. The Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from ATM is a solid, easy-to-use family receiver able to receive free (FTA) and Pay TV (all known CI systems) signals. But this box even has something to offer to more knowledgeable users with its manual PID entry and its symbolrate automation. It is a little weak at the knees with its 1000 channels; a little more would have been better. The user-manual serves as an excellent guide during the installation and using it on a daily basis is nothing more than childs play. Thanks to the regional pre-programming, the NTSC/PAL selection, the language choices and the universal power supply, the DSR-301CI is truly useable worldwide.
AMT Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI
The situation with channel scanning in the satellite TV world is not entirely unknown: you have the frequency, but all the other data is missing. The FEC and Symbolrate values are not always available in the charts, especially when it involves a brand new feed-signal. Even the best satellite receiver doesnt provide much help here. The only solution would seem to be a receivers Band-Scan function. Unfortunately, this isnt all that much fun, since this type of scan could take the entire night and by then that feed has already disappeared. But with the new Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from AMT, search technology has taken a giant step forward. In a special menu, all you need to do is enter the frequency of the signal - nothing else is needed.
After only a few minutes all possible symbolrates have been scanned and even the FEC values are under control. The result is a new, unlisted channel. This is an important feature that deserved to be highlighted right from the start. This receiver is designed to be used as an FTA/CI unit. With the right CI module and appropriate card, this box can be used for Pay TV reception. Otherwise, it will work just fine as an FTA receiver. One drawback: only a meager 1000 channels are available. Since this box is DiSEqC compatible, multiple LNBs or antennas can be connected. It wont be long before you run out of memory space. The nicely shaped, silver-colored cabinet has two flaps on the front panel that hide the CI slots and the auxiliary control buttons. These buttons can be used to program the box if the remote control decides it doesnt want to play anymore. The green four-digit display shows the current channel. The backside of the unit is fitted with all the usual standard equipment. The IF is looped-through and two Scart connectors together with three RCA jacks link the receiver to external audio/video equipment. A fourth RCA jack provides the controlled 0/12 volt output.
The LNBs are matched with the proper local oscillator frequencies (LOFs). The receivers menu has the universal and standard values already pre-programmed into the box. Other LOF values can be manually entered. The subsequent scan of an 80-transponder system lasted only seven minutes. The scan can be set up to search for FTA-only or All channels. Individual transponders can likewise be activated. If it becomes necessary to enter in PID data manually, a corresponding menu is available. At this point the enormously helpful automatic symbolrate search function is certainly worth mentioning again. The Sat Cruiser accepts symbolrates anywhere between 2 and 45 Ms/sec and was even able to work with a 1.8 Ms/sec signal (SCPC) with no difficulty. The DSR-301CI is packed with a very powerful editing function. Programs can be quickly and easily moved, deleted or even temporarily blocked. Priority channels can be quickly stored in a special list. An integrated typewriter lets you add names to stored channels and satellites. With a 0.7 second channel switching time, this receiver is one of the faster ones. Holding down the channel selection button does not seem to bother the Sat Cruiser as it does not seek revenge by locking-up on you. To prevent the DSR-301CI from being improperly used by the younger generation, the box can be set
ATTISAT Satellite Systems
In 1997 satellite communication specialists and investors met in Athens. One side brought with them a concept and the other brought the necessary solutions to make the project a reality. The goal was the design, the production and the distribution of a flat antenna. At first this doesnt sound like anything special since similar antennas already exist on the market. What appeals to the investors is the plan to create a product independant of subcontractors. Likewise with manufacturing technology, they also wanted to go there own way. Almost every production machine and test station should be their own design. This is a further step towards independance. With the product came the thought that the antenna should not be re-invented, instead it should stand out from the rest of the field through first class quality and design flexibility induced by customer suggestions. The flat antennas that are currently available have problems with both their life-expectancy - they are not always weather-proof - and with uniform gain across the entire Ku-Band. Specialists and Investors joined forces and the result was the formation of the internationally reknowned company ATTISAT Satellite Systems. They are strategically located between the city center and the airport in Athens where the Flat antenna is produced. Over three years have passed since this company was formed. Their antenna has gained recognition in the market and the plan is to ramp up production to about 200,000 per year. The investors, who have thus far contributed nearly 1,000,000 Euros to this effort, have not regretted their decision. In a modern building, the FL 500 is manually assembled using a cleverly designed system. Through the use of special markings on each piece, mistakes
have been virtually eliminated. At the end of the production line, every antenna must undergo a thorough test. Various satellites from around the world can be simulated with signal generators. If an antenna does not perform as expected, it is removed, dismantled and analysed to determine why so that the same fault does not occur again in the future. Team spirit among the employees is a major reason why they can ship a quality product. None of them have an 8 to 5 job, instead, the hours they work
are based on the daily requirments. Delivery problems have been for the most part eliminated. ATTISAT is also involved in the developement of V-Sat systems, the manufacture of microwave devices and the developement and production of RX/TX outdoor systems for Internet/Multimedia via satellite. They also have their own R&D (Research and Development) department whose function is to handle developement contracts from customers in the Satcom industry.
