Divi customer Telefonica, picks SkyStream for Datacasting............ infoseek.com Telefonica VSAT Selects SkyStream and International Datacasting's Satellite Broadcasting System 11:15 a.m. Sep 29, 1998 Eastern MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 1998-- Spanish Telecommunications Leader Selects Data Broadcasting Solution from Industry-Leading Partners SkyStream Corporation announced today that its DBN-24 Data Encapsulation product, a key component of International Datacasting Corporation's (IDC) Superflex satellite broadcasting system, has been selected by Telefonica VSAT of Spain to provide satellite data communication services. Telefonica, Spain's flagship Telephone Company, is the largest supplier of telecommunications services in the Spanish-speaking world. The DBN-24 is a complete DVB data encapsulation product that is included as a key component of IDC's SuperFlex digital broadcasting system. Using a DBN-24, a broadcaster can deliver high speed IP or data content that is multiplexed into a DVB-compliant MPEG-2 transport stream, and delivered to set-top or PC-based receivers via DVB satellite transmission. "In setting up our data broadcast services, we wanted to have lowest system latency in the IP encapsulator product that we selected," said Eduardo Gomez-Leal, director general of Telefonica VSAT. "We have been working with the SkyStream/IDC solution for the past few months, and find it to be the most suitable DVB system for our data multicasting requirements." "SkyStream's DBN-24 fits extremely well in our SuperFlex data broadcasting end-to-end solution," said Ron Clifton, president of IDC. "By combining the data throughput performance of their box with the flexibility of our complete system, customers like Telefonica can really set up a top-notch DVB satellite data service. " "SkyStream and IDC are pleased to supply its data broadcasting solution to Telefonica, a world leader in satellite telecommunications," said Jim Olson, president and CEO of SkyStream. "With the global Internet explosion causing a worldwide demand for more information, we believe that satellite data broadcasting is the next frontier to delivering high speed digital information to consumers and business." SkyStream's family of Integrator products include the DBN-24 DVB data encapsulator, the DBN-25 DVB data injector, and the recently announced DBN-26 DVB Conditional Access Injector (ICI). These products allow satellite service providers to create complete data broadcasting systems using an open network architecture. The DBN-25 and DBN-26 utilize SkyStream's patent-pending Null Packet OptimizerTM (NPO) software, which allows broadcasters to inject Internet and IP data into the empty space of an incoming MPEG video bitstream. The bandwidth saved using this technology can range from 5-8 percent of a satellite's transponder bandwidth. With full multi-protocol encapsulation (MPE) software to create industry-compatible streams of data, any DVB-compliant set-top receiver or PCI card can receive satellite content created by these products.
