Broadcast & satellite newsgathering

Helping broadcast and media companies transmit content and data from remote locations, wherever the story is.

Broadcast & media

Getting content out from wherever the story is

Breaking news rarely happens next to a studio. Broadcasters and media companies need dependable ways to send video and data back from remote and unpredictable locations.

Europasat supports satellite newsgathering and the network management behind it, helping service providers deliver what broadcast and media companies rely on.

Our role

Keeping the link up while the story unfolds

Live coverage leaves no room for a dropped link. Europasat supports the networks broadcasters rely on, so crews can focus on the story rather than the connection.

Satellite newsgathering (SNG) typically relies on flyaway or vehicle-mounted Ku-band uplink terminals using DVB-S2 modulation, with HEVC or H.264 video encoding, and on occasional-use (OU) space-segment capacity booked per event. Live contribution feeds need predictable latency and assured throughput back to the studio.
