Solutions
Complete systems, or exactly the phase you need
We deliver full projects from planning to installation, and we also step in for a single part of the process: an installation, a commissioning, a maintenance campaign.
Earth Station Installation & Maintenance
Turnkey satellite antenna installation with the complete RF and baseband system behind it.
Our team provides turnkey satellite antenna installation together with the RF and baseband system. We listen to our customers to understand the project requirements and use our experience to provide effective solutions.
We prepare a link budget to size the RF and antenna system. The link budget determines the antenna size, the SSPA or TWTA power requirement, link availability and bit error rate, and in general how satisfied the customer will be with the result.
We check RF leakages and waveguides, and cable losses from the high power amplifier output to the antenna OMT input. Upon completion of the installation and reflector alignment, we perform Tx and Rx radiation pattern tests, G/T calculation and antenna gain calculation. If an initial or full line-up test with the satellite operator is required, our team performs it.
We also carry out antenna relocation, band change and maintenance work on existing systems.
Our working process
- Preparation of the initial system diagram and review with the customer.
- Decision on the final configuration together with the customer.
- Final site survey and CDR meeting covering every detail, from the cable tray route to the equipment IP list.
Head-End System Installation
End-to-end head-end solutions for DTH, IPTV and Web TV operators.
MENAsist supplies and installs end-to-end head-end system solutions for DTH, IPTV and Web TV operators.
What the system covers
- Rx antenna installation: fixed and motorised receive-only antennas, with L-band signal carried to the system room over L-band cable or fibre.
- RF system and antenna redundancy: automatic recovery of L-band reception in case of failure.
- RF routers and splitters for reliable signal delivery and distribution.
- Demodulation: DVB-S and DVB-S2 receiving systems converting L-band to MPEGoIP, ASI, MPEG-2/4 HD/SD transcoded signal or SDI video.
- Encoder and multiplexer systems in HD, SD or hybrid configurations.
- Input/output redundancy routing: HD/SD video routers for encoder input, ASI or IP routers for encoder and multiplexer output.
IPTV Solutions
Managed multimedia delivery over IP networks, at every scale.
IPTV is the delivery of multimedia services (television, video, audio, text, graphics and data) over IP-based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service, experience, security, interactivity and reliability.
We provide IPTV and Hybrid IPTV solutions at every scale, from global digital distribution systems to local corporate, hotel and residential complex networks.
Platform components
- Head-end: live TV channels are encoded, encrypted and delivered as IP multicast streams.
- VOD platform: on-demand assets stored and served as IP unicast streams on request.
- Interactivity: navigation across IPTV services, including the VOD catalogue.
- Delivery network: the packet-switched network carrying unicast and multicast traffic.
- User's home: viewing on smart TVs, IP set-top boxes, tablets and smartphones, with interactive program guides, search and picture-in-picture.
Hybrid IPTV
Broadcast and internet-delivered content brought together on one device.
Hybrid IPTV has grown in popularity for two reasons. Since the emergence of online video aggregation sites in the mid-2000s, traditional pay TV operators have come under increasing pressure to give subscribers a way of viewing internet-based video on their televisions. At the same time, IP-based operators, often telecommunications providers, have looked for ways to add analogue and digital terrestrial services without adding cost or complexity to their transmission operations.
A hybrid set-top box brings content from terrestrial broadcast, satellite and cable together with video delivered over the internet via an Ethernet connection, so viewers reach a far wider range of content without a separate box per service.
It also opens up advanced interactive services (VOD and catch-up TV, video telephony, surveillance, gaming, shopping and e-government), all accessed through the television set.
Integration Services for Dealers & Manufacturers
Field operations capacity for equipment vendors: engineering, installation, commissioning and acceptance.
MENAsist provides complete pre-sales consultancy and post-sales operations support. We can operate as a solutions partner for dealers and manufacturers, or as a solution provider for buyers. Alongside design consultancy, we handle the required field operations.
With integration services covering engineering, installation and wiring, commissioning and acceptance testing, we work for system seller companies just as their own crew would. Our installation services team delivers complete turnkey installations across the MENA region and Turkey.
We customise the operation structure to your needs: site survey performance and reports, installation reviews, on-site installation and coordination, system verification and testing, and as-built documentation.
