Full-time satellite links for media

Many broadcasters require full-time, permanent transmission links to relay footage from news bureaus and other remote locations to their central studios.

Or the need may be to transfer finished programming to content aggregation points and playout centres. In each case, ASTRA can provide reliable satellite, terrestrial, or hybrid links that can bring content where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

ASTRA can design and implement the entire transmission chain. Besides supplying satellite capacity, we can arrange for dedicated fibre connections and provide uplink and turnaround services as required.

For content providers who broadcast to end-consumers via the ASTRA satellite system, contribution links could be established as part of a whole broadcast solution, affording seamless integration between media post-production and distribution
