For the first time, satellite broadcasters and TV platform operators can enhance their services by adding interactivity to their direct-to-home (DTH) users through a satellite return link. This \u201cgiant leap\u201d can be achieved with Starfish, an innovative and cost-effective platform, which equips broadcasters with a flexible and high-performance solution for satellite-only environments.<\/p>\n
Using cutting-edge technologies, Starfish can easily transform traditional entertainment into an interactive experience.
\nThis network scales up to tens of millions users, and only needs easy-to-use, consumer-grade devices available at the user\u2019s own premises. On the operator side, this ambitious target can be met with Starfish, a highly modular and flexible platform. Starfish can be fully integrated with the content provider\u2019s existing architecture, thus significantly minimizing capital expenditure.

\nThe Starfish platform boosts non-linear TV services<\/strong>, by allowing a satellite bouquet operator to leverage the impressive evolution of web applications, which are currently accessible only to terrestrial and over-the-top (OTT) operators. In this way, satellite broadcasters can build their own interactive features with a fully satellite-based infrastructure, available everywhere, and for everyone.<\/p>\n
\nFinally, a return link, which is available for the first time for all terminals, paves the way for innovative features on the broadcaster side<\/strong>, such as enhanced conditional access system (CAS) techniques, real-time audience measurement and remote interactive satellite terminal (IST) control.<\/p>\nPlatform capabilities<\/h2>\n
