SAT >IP Alliance Continues to Drive Future of Satellite Content Distribution in Multiscreen Ecosystems (Graphic: Business Wire)
The SAT >IP Alliance is a non-profit organisation in charge of setting forth SAT >IP-related strategic developments and creating working groups through its executive committee. The main aims of the Alliance have been to promote the use of the SAT >IP protocol throughout the industry, facilitate certification of new devices, and develop and improve the SAT >IP standard.
Over the past years, over 45 industry partners have supported the SAT >IP standard by developing more than 80 different products that are compatible with its requirements.
The innovative SAT >IP technology converts broadcast signals into IP at the reception point using a small server, which may be located in the satellite dish or in the user´s home, and distributes the selected programmes to different IP devices such as tablets, smartphones and laptops. This technology makes it possible to provide high-quality broadcast content more efficiently to all the screens in a home, using pre-existing networks in the building. SAT >IP is currently a European standard (CENELEC EN50585) compatible with transmissions over satellite, terrestrial and cable networks.
The SAT >IP Alliance is an open forum for all manufacturers, satellite operators, broadcasters and service providers who wish to get involved in developing and improving a key standard for the future of broadcast content distribution in multiscreen ecosystems.
