DVB Broadcast Topology

Characteristics ~ DVB Broadcasting ~ Optimum alternative for broadcast users ~ All links via satellite ~ One central transmit station ~ Several receive only stations ~ Central distribution of information within a set up     broadcast network

  Internet / Intranet Backbone Topology

Characteristics ~ Internet/Intranet Backbone ~ Based on a broadcast network ~ Independent of terrestrial channels ~ Several receive and transmit stations ~ Central distribution of information one uplink station ~ All configurations of the downlink Stations can be    made independently ~ Within one network system the integration of   transmit- and receive-only stations are possible. ~ All variations in the structure of the network are easy     to apply

  Hybrid Internet / Intranet Backbone Topology

Characteristics ~ Hybrid Internet/Intranet Backbone ~ Hybrid structure ~ Based on a broadcast network ~ Terrestrial channel gets integrated ~ Satellite link serves as a push-channel ~ Terrestrial link pull-function ~ Several receive only stations ~ Central distribution of information one uplink station
