Ready to combat Carrier Interference ?
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
... high on the agenda of satellite operators !

• RFI is the largest single issue that impacts QoS for satellite operators
and their customers

• Sources of RFI are operational mistakes in modulator
configuration, wrong polarization, carrier saturation, pointing to
wrong satellite, failing equipement ... or intended interference

• In addition to current RFI counter measures such as
• Training operational staff on best practices
• Automated terminal configuration (e.g. Newtec´s MENOS)
• Satellite pointing technology such as Newtec´s Point and Play®

there is a need to embed a carrier identifier (CID) into the carrier itself to
allow a robust yet quick pinpointing of the source of the
interference

Ready to combat Carrier Interference ?
…Newtec is ! M6100 Carrier ID setup
How Does it work ?
• An ID is injected by the modulator
into the carrier (CID) containing :
• Fixed identification of the source
• Vendor brand, MAC, serial n°, etc ...
• User configurable data
• GPS coordinates, carrier name, contact, etc...

• In case of RFI, the satellite operator can read
this CID and can therefore quickly identify the
source and contact information of the RFI
originator, using a shared repository of CID´s

• Initially, a NIT version of carrier ID will be
used by operators, available on the M6100
R1.2 by default in the video package

• It is anticipated that a DVB standard will likely
be available end of 2012 with a more robust RF
CID standard

15

What if your customers cannot decode the video ?
...only with Newtec´s Transportstream Analyzer in the
modulator you really know what information is on satellite

A single error at the
input often results in a
full service loss !

• Measure at the right place in the network … on the modulator !
Unlike traditional probes, the built-in TS analyzer does not change the network characteristics
during analysis

• Measures and alarms upon DVB ETR-290 errors that can occur between the video
mux and uplink
• Prio_1 : Transport_Stream_Sync_Loss, Sync_byte_error, PAT_error, Continuity_count_error
• Prio_2 : TS_Error_indicator, PCR_repetition_error, PCR_disc_error, PCR_accuracy_error

• TS Rate measurement
• Detects and lists PIDs including unreferenced PIDs

16

Full IP Infrastructure
… IP is more than a GbE port on a box!

• Redundant ASI and/or
GbE
• TS Rate adaptation
with & w/o restamping
• SMPTE 2022-2 FEC
• VLAN
Uplink Station • RTP / UDP
• Unicast and Multicast
• CIR or Opportunistic
data insertion (MPE)
• Bandwidth Mgt (QoS)

Key Benefits
• Compact and easy to manage, functionality is built into the modulator
• Eliminates the cost and maintenance of a standalone MPE encapsulator
• Works with any MPE capable receiver or IRD
• Optimal usage of available bandwidth using opportunistic data insertion
• Alternative to DualFlow®
• DVB-S2 and DVB-S compatible

19

MPE versus DualFlow®

• Both Multi-Protocol Encapsulation and DualFlow® are technologies to transport
data and video in a single carrier

• However, there are clear differences in underlying technology which impacts the
interoperability between modulator and receivers
