News of a Direct-to-Home TV
package offered by Orange Romania broke today when GlobeCast and SES announced
that they would be assisting Orange with the launch of this high quality
service. Designed to use multiple transponders the package will broadcast in
the DVB-S2 and MPEG4 technical standards. It will be the responsibility of
GlobeCast to provide encryption, contribution and encoding for both Standard
and High Definition channels.
“Orange Romania will launch the
new TV package to complement its existing mobile service, enabling the company
to offer full multi-device communication services to its customers. Orange
Romania booked this service through GlobeCast, which is providing a complete
solution to bring Orange Romania's channels to the point of uplink and prepare
them for broadcast on capacity that GlobeCast has leased from SES.
Jean-Francois Fallacher, Chief
Executive Officer of Orange Romania, said: "Today Orange Romania is ready
to provide high quality television services and to offer our Romanian customers
truly attractive packages. Orange TV means the highest number of HD TV
channels, the best satellite beam strength and coverage, dedicated customer
care, multiscreen access, a smaller and efficient dish and other remarkable
features that will allow us to offer an amazing TV experience. All these were
brought to life with Orange Group's expertise and solid partnerships we
developed with world renowned companies in the TV industry."
Philippe Fort, Chief Operating
Officer of GlobeCast, said: "Our offices worldwide collaborated to ensure
a full technical solution for GlobeCast's customer, Orange Romania, beginning
with reception of the channels from Bucharest and ending with handoff to our
partner SES for uplink to their powerful satellite. We are proud of the result
and will continue to ensure excellent quality of service on the platform,
leading to a high quality experience for the viewer."
Ferdinand Kayser, Chief
Commercial Officer of SES, said: ‘Telecommunication operators increasingly
invest in content distribution in order to complement their existing services.
This agreement shows the growing importance of satellite as a technical
infrastructure for linear television packages of telecommunication operators.
In addition to its unrivalled technical reach, satellite offers a fixed cost
structure that is not dependent on the number of households receiving a TV
service. We are delighted that Orange Romania decided to launch its new service
via ASTRA. This confirms the leading role that SES plays in Central and Eastern
Europe and shows that our orbital slot 31.5 degrees East is becoming a new hot
spot in this region.’”
