Turkish pay TV operator Türksat has opted for Finnish broadband technology specialist Teleste to provide its Luminato digital headend in partnership with the Finnish companys local reseller.
Teleste will provide Türskast with a platform for the delivery of services over cable, OTT TV and IPTV with live content processing.
According to Teleste, one single RU Luminato chassis can host up to 144 QAM channels.
Elaborating on the technology, Ender Kümüstekin, Sales Director said: We look forward to continue our cooperation with Teleste to provide Türksat with the latest headend technology on the market. We are confident that the flexible and compact Luminato platform meets their requirements of rich and reliable content delivery for years to come.
Commenting on the headend, Julius Tikkanen, Vice President of video service platforms for Teleste said: With the amount of IP traffic increasing by the day, many cable operators are expanding their business by scaling up their networks and DOCSIS-based IP capacity. However, as networks grow, headend sites and hubs which are usually set in buildings with limited available space cannot be easily extended or relocated to take care of the increase in installations. This means that operators need to find solutions that can utilise the existing headend space to the maximum. As a digital TV headend with one of the highest densities in the market, Teleste Luminato provides an excellent option for saving space while meeting diverse consumer needs.
