As natural disasters have become more common and intense lately, infrastructure is being damaged and new solutions are required. It is important to use existing communication tools in place. Satellite technology has many useful uses for minimizing the impact felt from these devastating events.

 

In order to establish communication with different regions in the same geography in the event of a disaster, uninterrupted communication to the Internet via satellite antennas, data transfer through satellite technologies, which are the common areas of use of all communication tools, can be provided from anywhere and uninterrupted technology transfer.

 

A continuous and uninterrupted access to the broadband internet system can be provided from anywhere in the world with satellite antennas. Satellite antennas are not just a means of watching TV.

 

In many parts of the world, for example in New York, people may prefer satellite internet. In 2010, there were 450 thousand satellite internet preferences in this city alone. Or, dish antennas are used to access the internet in places where cable and fiber still cannot go. Cable and fiber connection is not required to access the internet network accessed by dish antennas. Satellite internet can be preferred as an alternative to cable and fiber for individual use.

 

Satellite internet technology has the power to receive and send important data by simply providing energy without any hindrance when a disaster occurs.

 

Satellites sit securely above the earth’s atmosphere and provide communication to address wide geographical locations, there will be no obstacle in front of them to interrupt communication.

 

When broadband internet is reached, it will be possible to communicate information with each other in data centers, which are the common meeting place of all networks.

 

Instead of damaging the underground cables in an earthquake, tsunami, flood or hurricane and waiting for their repair process, emergency satellite systems will provide communication immediately.

 

Broadband satellite internet systems are VSAT applications. With the right planning and application, many lives and property can be saved in an emergency by communicating.

 

In particular, VSAT satellite systems, which are easily installed and commissioned in the event of an earthquake, will immediately transmit the status of the region or, if there is a fire, the images or the degree of coldness to the relevant people.

 

VSAT KA-KU band satellite internet systems allow teams to establish emergency communications even when terrestrial forms of communication are down. In addition, they are very suitable technologies for continuous communication in mining, farm or sea areas where there is only electricity and no infrastructure in the normal period.

 

The satellite communication system consists of two main elements, the ground station and the satellites in space. The communication between them is provided by the so-called satellite dish antennas.

 

The biggest advantage of satellite communication systems is that they provide simultaneous communication to many users within the global coverage area in locations where there is no terrestrial infrastructure, and they become almost the only communication source in natural disasters.

 

All of this demonstrates that satellite technology is a vital component of disaster relief efforts today and in the future.

 

Various organizations have been formed for the commissioning of this important system in the event of a disaster. Manpower and knowledgeable manpower are needed not only for the existence of the system, but also for its activation in the event of a disaster.

 

The address and contact information of the people who are given pre-disaster training are collected in one center or even in several centers, and this information is also available for use by international aid organizations.

 

In our region, TUYAD carries out these training activities and has directed previously trained VSAT installers to the region in the last earthquake. Now, by training more experts, many people who will put the systems into operation in a disaster that may occur all over Turkey have already started to be registered in the system.

 

NASA launched the Earth Science Disasters Program in 2006 to use its key space-based assets to save lives and property in times of crisis. They analyzed the information from his satellites.

 

As you can see, it is possible to monitor and study a wide variety of disasters via satellites. Governments and private companies around the world are using technology to provide targeted, efficient assistance to disaster areas. As the consequences of climate change increase, satellites, along with data-collecting analytics software, will become more effective at predicting natural events and subsequent relief efforts.

 

TUYAD has been a trusted name in the satellite industry for 23 years. Our non-profit organization is an association where very important brands of our country come together and organizations that have a voice in various countries of the world are members.

 

During a disaster, of course, experts are needed to work on the rescue of the wrecked. Health teams and fire extinguishers are also needed. Security forces are also needed. Satellite technology experts have also been included in these needs. And we will continue to support our existence in this field voluntarily.

Ka Band Satellite Internet – Muhammed Halil Şahiner / Martin Telekom AŞ

 

Nowadays, rising generation communication and need demands of all consumers from individual users to corporate companies increase the need of wideband internet usage. After the developing of communication infrastructure, these needs are tried to satisfy by wireless communication organs like Fiber Optic, 3G/4G and Wi-Fi. Although these kinds of communication infrastructures are in many places, the satellite communication is an alternative come to mind in the places that don’t have enough substructure or need in high quantity of investment for setup cost.

 

Increase in wideband communication needs depending on developing technology and high costs and expensive equipment in Ku and C band substructures promote people to use Ka band satellite systems. Under favour of Ka Band satellite technology, wideband communication services are able to offer high speed and low equipment.  The same frequencies could service to users from satellite footprint. By this means, it happened possible to reach higher satellite capacities and as a consequence of this, Ka band internet access prices became to be able to compete with terrestrial wideband services. Also, instead of involving a wide area as in Ku and C band satellites, as a result of smaller coverage area and high frequency (26,5-40 GHz)  Ka band end user antennas could be small sizes.

 

Ka band services are using especially in geopraphies that has inadequate communicate substructure such as Middle East, Africa and South Asia. First of all, it is possible to organize areas of usage,

 

  • Wideband internet services
  • VoIP, RoIP
  • E-education
  • Broadcast services
  • Institutional applications
  • Mining and Petroleum Institute
  • Tele-Health Services

 

In this article, we’ll dwell on the embedded communication solutions that help to increase usage prevalence and integrated work with Ka band solutions.

 

Embedded Communication Solutions Integrated with Ka Band Satellite Internet

 

To request to send HD live broadcast in publishing area, to provide economic IP communication in the places unfavorable substructure, GSM coverage zone in the places doesn’t have any GSM coverage zone make Ka band usage service in wide area.

 

Modeo Encoder

 

Nowadays, HD video usage became pretty popular. For HD video broadcast by Ku band satellites, more satellite capacity and big and expensive equipment usage are needed. To transfer these HD scenes by way of Ka band satellites, the devices able to fit the bill are needed. For HD video broadcast with sharing internet services proffered by Ka band satellite operators, dynamic Encoder that different from standard ones and suitable to work for band wide is must. Our group firm CTECH saw this need and developed home production Modeo Encoder. 2 key features that Modeo Encoder has are,

 

  1. Adoptable Bitrate Algorithm
  2. Bonding Algorithm

 

The content is coded with more than one bit rates and the video stream is made over the Internet by ‘Adoptable Bitrate Algorithm’ developed for Ka band Internet services.  Modeo Encoder decides the most suitable video bit rate and perceives the upload rate and satellite delay. Through, it became possible to video transmission suitable for changing satellite band wide and delay in satellite. In case of more than one upload capacity needed to send HD video content, it is possible to compound Modeo Encoder and Bonding Algorithm of different satellite modems’ capacities and reach higher speeds.

 

VoIP

 

Our group firm ClickNET that bring Ka band Internet services into use in many countries based on the agreement with global satellite operators serves VoIP service with Ka band Internet access. Without needed any extra investment with IP phones, making telephone conversations, over IP protocol are possible. By this means, making cheap and free- location telephone conversations over Ka Band Satellite Internet Service is possible.

 

The attention should be paid in some points of VoIP applications over internet. One of them is current band wideness. Ka band internet services meet the different band widths needs for VoIP.  Second point is delay period.  Recommended delay period by ITU is 400 milliseconds. This time is less than requisite time of 500 milliseconds for transmission of satellite signal between earth station and satellite but there is no problem in this implementation. Another topic is package losses. The operating logic of VoIP is delicate internet connectivity. There are lots of factors in satellite communication that affect satellite signal. That’s why, BER value (Bit Error Rate) need to be pretty low, initially. For warrant VoIP traffic transmission, QoS and prioritization should be done. There are various developed coding algorithms and the most common one is G.729 Codec. 8 kbps capacity is needed for G.729 coding. Other current standard is G.723 and for this, 5.3 kbps is needed.

 

RoIP

 

Another service we offer as ClickNET with Ka Band Satellite Services is RoIP (Radio Over IP) solution. Due to this solution, analogue transceiver systems (VHF, UHF) could be work with internet networks. At the present time, the availability to usage of commonly used analogue transceiver systems over Ka Band Satellite Systems offers economic advantages to answer the communication needs. On the system coattails, an integrated solution with other systems like VoIP etc. over IP is provided.

 

The studies about making other communication systems able to work over Ka Band Satellite Systems are done and tests are ended up successfully. We could count the systems that provide GSM communication carry over IP like FemtoCell and GoIP between them.

 

Integrated solutions are provided by Ka Band Satellite Systems enrich the current communication technologies. Various more quality and economic solutions are provided by this technologic wealth will continue to increase quality of life of humanity.

The Digital Broadcasting Transition Period of Terrestrial TV and Radio

 

 

Radio and TV channels are categorized as terrestrial, cable, satellite and Internet publications according to their transmission medium. In our country, satellite and cable publications are licensed by Radio and Television Supreme Council Corporation. Terrestrial publications broadcast as part of Radio and Television codes. Terrestrial publication establishments’ number is below by July.

 

Table 1: Applicant Institutions to Terrestrial Analog TV Publication

 

3984 numbered Radio and Television Institutions and Publications code entered in force in 1994 and sentenced to make frequency plans and then license publication institutions.

 

In an attempt to assign channel/frequency for terrestrial broadcast to Supreme Broadcast broadcasting organizations, we went to tender for 3 times in 1997, 2001 and 2013 but licensing operations were not completed for a variety of reasons. Because of this, sorting tender of licensing terrestrial radio and television broadcast weren’t put in, code 3984’s ad interim 6st clause continues.

 

Within the rule of today’s technology and legal acquis AB, as a result of regulations of AB Audiovisual Media Services Instruction that entered in a force in 2007 December by broadcasting in AB Gazette, 6112 numbered code about Radio and Televisions’ Establishment and Broadcast Services entered in a force in March 3, 2011.

 

In 2006, Regional Radio Communication Conference (RRC-06) came together within International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Cenevre.

 

Table 2: The allocations are made for Turkey in RRC-06 Conference

 

Figure 1: Turkey Frequency Areas Determined in RRC-06 Conference

 

  • TV channel and radio frequency planning will be made by Radio and Television Supreme Board, national, regional and local territorial broadcasts’ numbers and types and multiplex numbers will determine for numerical broadcasts.
  • 6112 numbered code’s release date is March 3, 2011. From this date, within 2 years latest, numerical television multiplex capacity sorting tender will put in.
  • At the end of this 2 years, analog terrestrial television broadcasts will be finished countrywide and analog terrestrial television broadcasts will be stopped.

 

In this context, on the date of April 16-18, 2013, National Terrestrial Numerical TV Broadcast License Sorting Tender; on the date of May 2-3, 2013, Regional Terrestrial Numerical TV Broadcast License Sorting Tender; on the date of Jun 24-28, 2013 and July 01-02, 2013, Local (T3) Terrestrial Numerical TV Broadcast License Sorting Tender were performed and tender results were published in RTUK Internet website. Aforesaid tenders were confirmed by Supreme Board.

 

 

But, national tenders’ executive was stopped in the direction of court decisions about aforesaid tenders and then were cancelled.

 

Turkey’s terrestrial numerical broadcast standard was determined as DVB-T2 and MPEG-4 that is the last technology in numerical publishing and accordingly, Terrestrial Numerical Television (DVB-T2) Frequency Plan was prepared. Later, having regards to developments of compression technique in the world, instead of current MPEG-4, new technology HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding – H.265) compression technique was defined.

 

For our customs aren’t aggrieved, devices’ necessary specifications were defined and by name of TS 13538 “Television Receivers – General Rules for Second Generation Numerical Terrestrial Broadcast System (DVB-T2)” was accepted and published by TSE (Turkish Standards Institution).

 

As a result, in our country, terrestrial numerical TV broadcast is not used yet. Cancelled sorting tenders make this process be late. Regulations and specifications’ editing works are continued and these works should be completed as soon as possible and sorting tenders need to be done.

Video over IP technologies ease establishments to have video portal.

 

For this, requisite equipment is a server and a video portal software loaded on this server. For distribution in local network, a network switch that has outlets numbers of watcher is used.

 

 

The videos about software and institution is watched by way of this server and institutional videos are watched by way of local network in institution on PC – Laptop – Ipad – Smart Phone and TV connected SetTopBox. They are used in lessons, meetings and conferences with big-screen TV receivers that formed in mutual places.

 

With the same system, it is also able to used for fun like watching films, YouTube, Vimeo, media player in the places like public housings, schools, campuses, institutions etc. The films will be watched are able to loaded via DVD – VCD – Blue Ray, the sell sheet are able to seem and radio channels and TV broadcasts are able to watched.

 

 

 

 

It is possible to watch thousands of films and video channels with the capacity of server hard disc. For using this system in wide area networks (WAN) it is needed to buy a C.D.N (Content Delivery Network) service (annual or monthly payment) with V.O.D server + SetTopBox equipment and software.

 

 

 

Institutional or film video system that downloaded to server is separated into groups via V.O.D system’s management panel and specifies which types of videos will be watched.

 

It is possible to manage a lot more functions with interface of admin panel that works with V.O.D software.
