- World’s first next-generation DTH platform, harnessing the
power of DVB-NIP
- Combining the efficiency of broadcast technology with those
used in broadband networks for large-scale content distribution to
homes and IP devices across the country
- Enabling all the population to receive vital educational,
governmental and healthcare information
Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris, London Stock Exchange;
ETL) (Paris:ETL) (LSE:ETL) announces that Instituto Nacional de
Radio y Televisión del Perú (IRTP) has signed a new multi-year
agreement, for capacity on its EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite, for
large-scale content distribution to homes and IP devices across the
country via an innovative new Next-Generation Direct-to-Home
solution using the latest DVB-NIP standard.
Peru´s IRTP legacy TV distribution network previously reached
only around 72% of the population, leaving 28% without any source
of content delivery. In order to cover the entire population, and
enable everyone to access education, government, and healthcare
resources, IRTP has chosen an innovative DVB-NIP solution, via
Eutelsat’s leading 117° West video neighbourhood, which provides
powerful satellite coverage across the country. Combining the
efficiency of broadcast technology with those used in broadband
networks, the DVB-NIP standard bridges the gap between IP and
broadcast networks, enabling 100% of the population to receive
cost-effective, ultra-fast delivery of live and file-based video
content at home and on mobile devices.
The initial platform includes 12 live free-to-air channels,
including the TV Peru news channel, TVPE entertainment and
educational content, children’s channel IPE, and Radio Nacional,
the first radio station in Peru. It will be supplemented with
emergency/warning broadcast services, file transfer services for
educational purposes and the possibility for the population to
access content through their mobile devices.
José Ignacio González-Núñez, Eutelsat Group Senior Regional VP,
Media Sales Americas commented, “We´re thrilled to announce our
latest endeavour in Peru where IRTP is introducing a
next-generation DTH satellite service utilizing DVB-NIP through our
EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite. This marks a significant milestone
for us as we continue to expand our footprint by leveraging this
new standard. We´re confident that this initiative will
revolutionize the broadcasting landscape around the world, bringing
unparalleled entertainment experience to every Peruvian with a
mobile device at home, at schools, and any other locations decided
by IRPT. This initiative will redefine the standards of satellite
services in the region, setting a new benchmark for quality and
reliability”.
