RF Video Overlay - TV services via FTTH
Fiber networks to the home are not only perfectly appropriate for
data transmission but can also be used as an ideal medium for the
transmission of TV signals. The RF video overlay method utilizes
this feature to transmit particularly broadcast TV content efficiently
via Fiber to the Home networks. It provides the customer with
digital and analog TV with an equivalent data rate of several
gigabit per second.
Stable power supply even with high data usage
Whereas fast surfing and real-time telephony via the Internet used
to be the decisive factors for investments by network operators,
new service industries have developed, which require ever greater
amounts of data: IP-TV with hundreds of high-resolution TV
channels up to 4K, streaming platforms such as Netflix, YouTube
or Amazon with an immense range of movies and entertainment
on demand, online games with several users in real time as well
as extensive data uploads and downloads. In addition, there are
new, digital forms of work, such as the home office.
A cost-effective solution for all FTTH/FTTB network structures
With RF Video Overlay, the desired TV and radio programs are
received from different satellites through the NEO processing
series and transmodulated into digital cable TV channels. An
optical transmitter converts the high-frequency signals into light
signals and feeds them into the fiber optic network. As light-based
transmission has almost no loss of quality or latency, transmission
of over 100 km is possible. The reconversion of the optical signals
takes place at the end customer. For this purpose,
HUBER+SUHNER BKtel has developed the XON series of
termination units that fit different customer requirements (TV
and/or Internet). With "RF Video Overlay", every subscriber has
access to a comprehensive and stable TV package and maximum
Internet bandwidth, even at peak times.
