NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2006/Satnews Daily/ ― The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded International Datacasting Corporation (TSX:IDC) a contract for a research and development project for the next generation of DVB-S2 satellite multicasting products.
IDC said the objective of the project is to plan and develop an extension of the company’s DVB-S2 product line capable of reaching ultra-high throughput performance and multi carrier operation. This project will build on IDC’s recently released DVB-S2 line of receivers that are very much in demand for a variety of point-to-multipoint broadband datacasting applications that include IPTV, digital cinema, digital radio networks, syndicated television and HDTV.
Under their “Telecom Start-up Project Initiative,” ESA Telecom plays an investment role by supporting the development of new satellite systems and technologies in preparation for future services. ESA Telecom promotes and contributes to the competitiveness of the European and Canadian private sector by providing a lead in research and development (R&D) activities and by forging partnerships within the industry.
IDC president and CEO, Ron Clifton said the company’s recently released DVB-S2 products are already pushing the performance envelope of technology for many applications.
“This ESA project will help us extend that performance beyond the current state-of-the-art in the industry and will contribute significantly to our ability to meet the expected increase in demand for media-rich bandwidth-intensive applications already being forecasted by industry experts,” he said.
