Dob, Slovenia, May 02, 2023. Broadcasters in the MENA region can now benefit from unprecedented reliability and security from global provider of content delivery solutions, STN. As part of its existing offering, STN is now able to offer a no-weather disruption guarantee and increased protection from interference when uplinking to the Eutelsat 8West B satellite.

Weather-free disruption is ensured by using two uplink sites located over 5,000 kilometers apart. Switching from one to the other is a continuous and fully automatic process based on measured signal-to-noise ratio and link margin values. These are pre-configured based on the downlink levels in the region, thus ensuring no signal dropouts regardless of the weather conditions.

8West B is equipped to mitigate interference, thanks to its use of frequency converters behind the satellite reception antennas. This means that the uplink rate can be changed without impacting the downlink rate. STN has gone a step further to minimize the likelihood of intentional or accidental jams. Signals are uplinked from two geographically different sites located on different continents.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer this additional level of service to our customers in the MENA region,” said STN CEO Mitja Lovsin. « We pride ourselves on our customer service and by offering this geographically remote and diverse uplink facility for Eutelsat 8West B, our customers have the most secure and reliable service available for the region. »
