SAT>IP
Digital Devices is introducing the Octopus Net, a new system to feed satellite
and cable TV signals into IP networks.
The Octopus Net is based on a new architecture from SES Astra which receives and demodulates satellite TV signals and converts it to IP signals for the distribution via IP networks.
The IP signal may be distributed via COAX, wired ethernet, power line systems,
WLAN any kind of fibre optics or twisted pair.
The Octopus Net server can provide buildings like hotels, hospitals or apartment
blocks with satellite TV or cable TV in HD quality via an existing IP network to
clients which are not equipped with a satellite receiver.
