Project Description
As part of its commitment to technological innovation, Telecom CLM has entrusted BTESA with the architectural design, supply, installation, and turnkey commissioning of the new DVB-T headend at its facilities in Toledo, Spain. This comprehensive project modernizes the broadcasting service provided to Castilla-La Mancha Media (RTVCM), replacing infrastructure that is over 10 years old with highly efficient, next-generation solutions.
Project Highlights
- Encoding and Multiplexing: Implementation of a centralized system with full 1+1 redundancy powered by Ateme technology, utilizing Titan Live and Titan Mux units. This solution supports the encoding of high-definition TV channels and multiple radio services, while preparing the headend for future technological transitions.
- HbbTV & Interactivity: Preparation of the interactive viewer experience by integrating MiTXperts’ iSims solution. This system handles metadata and the AIT (Application Information Table) to enable “red button” functionalities, fulfilling the requirements for redundant EPG and HbbTV service generation.
- SFN Adaptation: For SFN signaling generation across the DVB-T network, Enensys SmartGate T equipment has been integrated to act as redundant MIP inserters.
- Advanced Monitoring: To guarantee maximum uptime, the Enensys Edge Probe solution was deployed. This allows for comprehensive monitoring of the headend’s output signal at both ASI and IP levels.
- 360º Turnkey Project: The deployment covered all critical phases, including architectural design, supply, installation, commissioning, training, and maintenance, ensuring a seamless transition without causing any interruption to the currently provided service.
With the completion of this project, BTESA strengthens the reliability of Telecom CLM’s network, improving service availability and laying the technological groundwork for a future Phase 2 of territorial disconnections.
