The new DVB-T2 standard is designed for a post-ASO (Analog Switch Off) environment, where DVB-T services are already well-established. The DVB-T2 standard has been implemented to give more robust TV reception and increase capacity by over 30% for single transmitters (as in the UK). It is also expected to increase the maximum bit rate by over 50% in large single-frequency networks (such as in Germany and Spain).
Andy Coates, Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), comments: This is an exciting launch for us; we have focused on exceptional functionality whilst making every effort to keep the size of the DVB-T2 modulator to an absolute minimum in order to target the low-cost FPGA families. Commsonic will be showcasing the DVB-T2 on stand 5.A19 at the IBC exhibition in Amsterdam.
Cambridge based Commsonic is also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, following steady growth and increased interest from around the world – including clients in Europe, Asia and America. Commsonic develops licensable core technology blocks, ASICs, FPGAs and tools for wireless technologies.
