Deliver data efficiently to connected devices

The convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications has given rise to a new era of data distribution, with datacasting over terrestrial networks emerging as a key technology for broadcasters seeking to expand their reach and offer innovative services. By leveraging the existing infrastructure of traditional broadcast networks, datacasting enables the efficient transmission of large amounts of data to a wide audience, paving the way for a better connected world.

The power of terrestrial networks for data transfer

The use of terrestrial networks for datacasting allows broadcasters to capitalize on the existing infrastructure, reducing the need for costly investments in new transmission systems. Moreover, terrestrial networks enable the transmission of rich data over large areas, including underserved regions. Reaching these underserved regions is particularly beneficial, as it provides access to critical information and services for communities that may lack reliable internet connectivity or other forms of communication. Underserved regions can include rural areas, remote communities, or areas affected by natural disasters, where traditional communication infrastructure may be limited or non-existent. By extending the reach of datacasting to these areas, broadcasters can help bridge the digital divide and provide vital information and services to those who need them most.

The technical benefits of datacasting over terrestrial networks

Reliable data distribution

Datacasting over terrestrial networks supports the distribution of large amounts of data to a broad audience. Independent of the number of users, our technologies can resolve potential overload. Terrestrial networks reliably deliver data even in areas without mobile network coverage, where other communication methods may fail.

Excellent efficiency

Datacasting offers significant cost advantages for distributing large amounts of data to many recipients. A terrestrial infrastructure enables the delivery of high volumes of data with minimal latency to millions of users, positioning it as a key technology for future data distribution solutions.

Maximum availability

Terrestrial broadcast infrastructure is a resilient platform for data transmission. True reliability requires resilience measures such as redundancy and independence from single points of failure. This infrastructure is particularly robust because it features high levels of redundancy and emergency power systems that guarantee continuous operation for days, ensuring maximum availability.
