IBC2012 EXHIBITOR PREVIEW
WORK MICROWAVE - Stand 4.B63
With more than 25 years of global expertise designing satellite communications technologies for the broadcast, satellite, and telco markets, WORK Microwave will introduce a wide range of technology advancements at the 2012 IBC Show. Visitors to the booth can view a live demonstration of the companys DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP and see the latest addition to WORK Microwaves modem range, the new DVB-S2 Modem SK-DV Combined Data and Video Modem, two cutting-edge solutions that maximize an operators bandwidth while simultaneously lowering costs. Also on display will be enhancements to WORK Microwaves next-generation frequency converters.
Key Products and Technology Demos
DVB-S2 Modem SK-DV Combined Data and Video Modem
For the first time at IBC, WORK Microwave will display an innovative new data and video modem designed to streamline an operators signal transmission setup. Utilizing DaVid technology, the DVB-S2 Modem SK-DV simultaneously transports data (network connection) and live broadcast (video content) over a single satellite carrier, aggregating multiple MPEG transport streams and IP data into a unified DVB-S2 multistream.
Ideal for broadcasters, telcos, and satellite operators relying on a hybrid infrastructure that requires TS and IP interfaces, the DVB-S2 Modem SK-DV includes a powerful set of features, including traffic shaping, cross layer design, Generic Stream Encapsulation, and OptiACM, that maximize data throughput and bandwidth use while reducing operational and capital expenditures.
DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP and XipLinks Bandwidth Optimization Technology
Based on a close cooperation with XipLink, a leading provider of bandwidth optimization technology, WORK Microwave will showcase increased efficiencies for its DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP. Integrated into a single environment with XipLink?s XA family of scalable appliances, the DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP offers service providers, corporate networks, and telcos a more reliable method for optimizing throughput and increasing the available amount of bandwidth on their network. Rather than pre-setting inaccurate minimum and maximum data rates, users can now leverage WORK Microwave?s OptiACM feature with XipLinks sophisticated traffic shaping functionality to determine real-time minimum and maximum data rates for each content type for up to 100 Quality of Service (QoS) classes.
Visitors to the booth can learn more about the ACM functionality of the IP-Modem by viewing an interactive test setup, which will demonstrate how the IP modem compensates for disturbances in the satellite link caused by physical conditions such as humidity and atmospheric precipitation. Through real-time adaptation of transmission parameters according to link conditions, the ACM feature allows operators to more reliably allocate bandwidth across the entire network. The demonstration will include two screens, enabling attendees to observe simulated conditions such as noise, data rate, and type of modulation and to witness the flipping over of the constellation diagram.
Fifth-Generation Frequency Converter Series
At IBC2012, WORK Microwave will demonstrate the new enhancements of its next-generation frequency converter series, which is geared toward applications that require low phase noise, ranging from S-band to Ka-band. Utilizing a sophisticated new synthesizer, the frequency converters can now deliver Ka-Band signals with phase noise at a level that significantly exceeds the respected industry standard according to Intelsats Phase Noise Specification. The frequency converters also offer guaranteed frequency accuracy so that operators can reliably meet adjusted frequencies and match the end-users specific requirements. Guaranteed frequency accuracy is especially important in certain environments, such as space timing applications.
A new user-friendly, Web-based interface offers a powerful and intuitive user experience by allowing easy access to a comprehensive set of features. Through the customizable GUI, users can better meet specific end user requirements and environments. The GUI can be set up remotely via the Web, enabling easy initial set up and the ability to update firmware simply and quickly. Based on a modular architecture, the fifth-generation frequency converters are completely scalable and customizable, offering users a cost-effective solution that can be tailored to meet their exact needs.
