Fta (free to Air) Satellite Technology
Friday, January 29th, 2010Author: Jeff Herder
Free-To-Air (FTA) is a television or radio broadcast, which is unencrypted. Mostly free-to-air programs are multilingual, no translation as specified earlier. Free to air is a technology that transmits satellite signals, which people may receive without need of registration. Mostly, free-to-air channels are broadcasted from worldwide sources and from small producers. FTA satellite programs are transmitted using large satellite dishes C-band or Ku Band, small satellite dishes and you will need a rotor, however, to receive more than one satellite channel. Free-To-Air Satellite Source offers satellite technology for free-to-air TV, and FTA receivers.
Fta Satellite TV & Fta Receivers
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Free-to-air (FTA) television (TV) and radio broadcasts are sent unencrypted and may be received via any suitable receiver. FTA satellite is free to air using satellite communications equipment.

Free-to-air (FTA) is a term used to describe television (TV) and radio broadcasts, which are broadcast, unencrypted and may therefore be picked up via any appropriate receiver. The term should not be confused with free-to-view, which describes TV, which is available without subscription, but which is encoded and may therefore be restricted geographically. Neither of these options can be described as pay-TV, which describes a subscription service, which is encrypted. The term typically refers to delivery by satellite television, but in various parts of the world where encrypted digital terrestrial television channels exist, broadcast on UHF or VHF bands, it can also be applied to those systems.
Channel Controller
Saturday, January 16th, 2010The Channel Controller will act as interface between the Resource Controller and the satellite channel. It will provide timing and control information to user terminals, and will forward user access requests to the Resource Controller. There will be a Channel Controller for each satellite channel.
Resource Controller
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Resource Controller-The Resource Controller will maintain the Control Station Database that provides SATCOM assignments to users based on input from communications managers and user requests. It will directly interface to communications managers through their Network Management Stations, allowing creation and maintenance of user networks. It will also interface with Resource Controllers at other control stations to support worldwide networks and to maintain redundant capacity, should one station fail.
The DAMA Control Station
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010The DAMA Control Station is a fixed physical site. It houses equipment that performs the functions of resource and channel controllers, and shared equipment such as a printer, power supply, and other ancillary equipment. The DAMA control stations act as relays, providing worldwide control of the network and worldwide routing of user traffic through the control of a channel on each of the satellites. Four DAMA Control Stations will be required for worldwide coverage and when completed, will provide 100 percent redundancy.
