Intelsat has launched Occasional Video Solutions (OVS), a service
that offers integrated and convenient solutions for the video needs
of content providers.
With the help of OVS, Intelsat will provide broadcasters, rights
holders, content providers and service providers a worldwide solution
for the occasional end-to-end video requirements. The service will
be used to provide ad-hoc, special event or scheduled video feeds,
by utilizing Intelsat's global fleet of satellites in combination
with terrestrial infrastructure and worldwide presence.
The OVS service is designed using video components like space
segment and ground network infrastructure and it is connected to
major video hubs in North America, Europe and Asia.
Services offered by the OVS include uplink, downlink, fiber, standards
conversion, encoding, decoding, conditional access and switching.
Standard configurations include both 8 Mbps and 15 Mbps services
to accommodate market needs for news and event applications.
Intelsat, as a part of its customer service initiative, has a dedicated
Video Operations Center which handles bookings, inquiries, monitoring
and other video service requests 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Intelsat's OVS provides global coverage by leveraging five of Intelsat's
satellites, the 905 at 335.5șE, 902 at 62șE, 901 at 342șE, 701 at
180șE and the 707 at 359șE. Video customers can use C- and Ku-band
coverage beams on these satellites, or request services over additional
satellites as well. In addition, the company's teleports in Fuchsstadt,
Germany and Riverside, California, US, and fiber connections to
top video switches in Los Angeles and New York comprise the terrestrial
backbone of the network.
The service is available directly to customers and through Intelsat's
worldwide network of distributors.
