THE CHALLENGES OF FAST IN STREAMING ECOSYSTEMS

FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television) channels are rapidly gaining traction as a compelling alternative to traditional TV and subscription-based streaming, offering viewers curated, linear-style content without the paywall. 

However, as the FAST ecosystem grows more crowded, providers face significant challenges in scaling their reach and maintaining a consistent, high-quality experience across diverse geographies and devices:

• Penetration of FAST platforms outside North America is still low.
• Poor broadband penetration or congested delivery networks can lead to inconsistent user experiences and buffering issues.
• Operating costs can outweigh revenues in regions with low CPM (Cost per thousand impressions) and ad-fill rates.
• Managing the technical complexity of operating a FAST channel.
• Attracting and retaining significant viewership in a fragmented media landscape.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We make it simple — just deliver your content in a suitable format and we handle the rest, allowing you to focus on creating captivating content.

Through seamless integration, your channel will be distributed over our HOTBIRD satellites covering Europe from 13° East and E7WA/E8WB covering MENA from 7/8° West.

For maximum visibility your channel will be included in our SAT.TV, SAT.TV Connect and other EPGs, supported by our tailored distribution solutions to match your audience and goals. Through our partners, we can also help with your channel’s distribution over FAST platforms, allowing your channel to reach its full potential.

The result: a unified, cost-effective and flexible experience that will maximize your channel’s advertising revenue.

Reaching all TV homes

No matter how developed or undeveloped a country’s infrastructure is, broadcasters often need to reach all viewers in even the most remote areas and offer a truly nationwide service. In addition to service reach, they are constantly searching for solutions to ensure they fulfil engagements of performance quality with their content distribution, whether SD, HD or UHD. Daily challenges include:

• Reaching wider audiences and providing universal coverage within a territory.
• Delivering a consistently high-quality viewing experience to all audiences independent of the available terrestrial network.
• Offering a sustainable solution that is energy efficient and minimises external impact.

What is DTH satellite broadcasting and how does it work

DTH (Direct-to-Home) satellite broadcasting is a means of delivering television content directly to viewers’ homes via satellite. Bypassing traditional cable or terrestrial infrastructure, satellite technology plays a critical role in video distribution, particularly in regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure. 

The TV signals are transmitted directly from the satellite to a small dish antenna installed at the viewer's location, reaching rural and remote areas where cable or fiber-optic networks are unavailable or cost-prohibitive. Satellite offers reliable, high-quality video delivery with the capacity to broadcast hundreds of channels, including HD and UHD content. 

Satellite’s ability to deliver consistent quality service across vast geographic areas makes it an essential tool for broadcasters aiming to reach mass audiences efficiently and at scale.
 

How DTH Satellite Broadcasting Works:

1. Broadcasters aggregate content (TV channels, video content, audio streams) at the broadcast center or uplink station.
2. The content is encoded and compressed to optimize bandwidth use, and the processed signals transmitted from the uplink station to a geostationary communications satellite.
3. The satellite receives the uplinked signal and retransmits it back to Earth over a wide coverage area. The signal is transmitted in a specific frequency band, often Ku-band or C-band, depending on the service and region.
4. Viewers have a satellite dish antenna (usually 45–90 cm in diameter) installed on or near their home. The dish receives the signal and directs it to a Low Noise Block downconverter (LNB), which converts the satellite signal into a lower frequency that the set-top box can process.

The set-top box (STB) decrypts and decodes the signal. The TV can then display the content in consistent quality, including standard definition (SD), high definition (HD), or ultra HD (UHD).
