Space Communications and Noblesat will enable the transmission of multiple video content through the Amos-17 satellite for 5G networks and Wi-Fi Hotspots * Through Video Cloud and Network Edge Transcoding, the companies were able to provide content in a particularly efficient way that bypasses the loads on the terrestrial transmission networks
Chall Communication, the operator of the "Amos" communication satellites, and Noblesat, also an Israeli company, a global provider of content connectivity via satellite, announced a successful demonstration of end-to-end video transmission via the Amos-17 satellite. This is a High Throughput transmission, from the network core to the edge of the network, distributing it to end devices over a wireless network and presenting a high quality user experience.
The demonstration illustrated a complete network architecture for the transmission of live Over-The-Top (OTT) video content to multiple end devices, using NOVELSAT's processing and transmission solution on the advanced digital satellite Amos-17 of a communications space enabling broadband transmission.
The core of Novelsat's video cloud It demonstrated the concentration of video content from multiple sources in different formats while performing efficient multi-channel video coding in the HEVC standard, satellite modulation using the company's efficient and unique transmission technology, and transmission to the satellite of a single quality profile of each video channel.
Novelsat video terminal unit introduced processing and distribution of video content at the end of the network, while receiving and decoding the satellite transmission, converting the video content for video protocols and formats various, and distributing live video broadcasts to end devices over a wireless network.
The digital satellite Amos-17 of Space Communications Realized the space segment of the system, and provided highly efficient satellite connectivity between the terrestrial network points for connecting the video cloud core to the video units at the edge of the network.
Video for end users
The demonstration brought to light the advantages, in terms of the efficiency of bandwidth utilization, the cost of video transmission and the quality of the end-user experience (QoE), in using satellite communication to distribute high volumes of live video content to cellular sites and wireless access points. Bypassing the loads in the wired and wireless transmission networks and performing uniform and optimal video processing at the end of the network, enable the distribution of high quality video content with low latency for a variety of end devices, and with the lowest investment in network infrastructure.
Eran Shapira, manager of business and technology initiatives in the communications space, said "We are happy to collaborate with Noblesat to demonstrate how viewers can enjoy access to more content, in a more convenient way and with the highest viewing quality. The Amos-17 beams provide unique coverage and efficiency in sub-Saharan Africa, and together with Noblesat's video processing and transmission solution, we can effectively support the changing viewing habits and lifestyle in this region. The activity in the African media market through technologies that enable linear video services, OTT, VoD and other services is a strategic goal for the communication space. Together with Novelsat, we are able to address important market segments with cost-effective, efficient and easy-to-deploy solutions."
"The increase in video traffic causes loads on the cellular and landline networks and results in damage to the user experience. In the fifth generation, the cellular companies aim to further expand the video content and services, and provide HD and UHD quality, without additional delay, to every type of end device - from smartphones to televisions." said Aviv Ronai, Vice President of Marketing and Products at Noblesat. "This unique demonstration presented Novelsat's innovative approach to an end-to-end solution to the challenges in video distribution, by using highly efficient content distribution on an advanced satellite such as Amos-17 and delivering the video traffic as close as possible to the users. Novelsat's solution in combination with Amos-17's digital platform sets a new standard for the efficiency and performance of video distribution, leads to reduced network costs and an excellent user experience, and paves the way for video services in fifth generation networks and wireless access networks."
Chalal-Communication entered into an agreement for the provision of managed communication services in Africa in the amount of 92 million dollars
The CEO of the company Dan Zicek: "This is a significant agreement that provides a comprehensive and high-quality solution for the provision of communication solutions uniquely adapted to the needs in Africa. This project will enable the provision of internet services and will reduce the digital divide"
The communications satellite operator "Amos" entered into an agreement under which it will provide a comprehensive solution for the provision of communication services to a large client in Africa in the amount of approximately 92 million dollars. As part of the agreement, which will be spread over 10 years, the company will provide equipment, installation, maintenance and management of communication services, for a wide range of needs and requirements, using the advanced digital satellite Amos 17. The company states that the agreement will enter into force after the customer completes the financing procedure that is expected to be completed in the coming months .
for a space-communications company Many years of familiarity with clients in Africa in the areas of internet, data communication, video, television, etc. The accumulated experience of the company with the advanced capabilities of the Amos 17 satellite, enable the supply of comprehensive, advanced and flexible solutions for a very wide range of needs, which provide an efficient and unique response to a wide range of customers. These needs are in the trend of a constant increase in data consumption in the African market, a trend that is only intensifying in light of the COVID-19 epidemic in the world and in Africa.
The Amos 17 satellite, which began commercial operations less than a year ago and is located at the sky point 17°E, is an innovative and digital HTS (High Throughput) satellite, designed specifically for the growing and changing communication needs of the African market. The technologies embedded in it and its ideal location allow it to cover countries and regions in Africa with a dedicated beam, with ultra-broadband and with the highest level of availability and service.
CEO of the company Dan Zicek: "The project, which includes characterization services, equipment supply, project management, maintenance and delivery of communication services over time, is an important milestone in the realization of Halal's strategy to provide a comprehensive response to the needs of various customers in Africa with diverse needs. The development of the company's capabilities alongside the advanced capabilities of Amos 17 provide an excellent response to the needs of the developing market in Africa and the needs of governmental organizations, international bodies and companies operating in the region."
