WASHINGTON, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Satellite 2005 - Efficient Channel
Coding (ECC) announced today they will present live demonstrations of the DVB-
S2 based iSatLite(TM) broadband interactive satellite communication system.
The first-ever live demonstrations will take place March 23rd - 25th, during
Satellite 2005 in Washington, D.C. Using Telesat Canada's Anik F2 spacecraft
and the ECC iSatLite system, live voice, video and high-speed data
connectivity will be available throughout the show from the ECC booth (#118).
iSatLite is a new broadband communications system based on the DVB-S2
standard. The complete iSatLite system provides unprecedented bandwidth
efficiency and includes many advanced features. Highlights include VoIP header
compression, lossless data compression, advanced QoS, and integrated terminal
features such as routing and TCP/IP acceleration. iSatLite is available today
and being deployed in pilot networks worldwide.
"The power of DVB-S2 becomes a reality by using iSatLite," said Mark Dale,
Vice President of Business Development at ECC. "A live demonstration that
simultaneously provides high-speed Internet access, voice, and high-resolution
video via satellite gives our potential customers a chance to experience the
iSatLite system benefits firsthand."
Providing complete coverage to North America, Anik F2 is one of the
world's largest commercial communications satellites. As the first satellite
in history to fully commercialize the Ka frequency band, the Anik F2's
breakthrough in communications technology delivers cost-effective, two-way
broadband services. Launched by Telesat in July of 2004, the satellite
provides opportunity for improvements in the delivery of commercial and
consumer services.
"Telesat is pleased to work with ECC on the continued development of DVB-
S2," said Paul Bush, Telesat's Vice President of Broadcasting and Corporate
Development. "For applications such as HDTV and High-Speed Internet, DVB-S2
offers a real opportunity for improved bandwidth utilization which, in turn,
will improve the business prospects for these services."
