Sentech\u2019s digital terrestrial television (DTT) network covers 80.43% of the South African population using the DVB-T2 standard, CEO of the signal distributor, Setumo Mohapi, reiterated at a press briefing today (9 April 2013).<\/p>\n

This milestone was achieved on 28 March 2013, Mohapi said.<\/p>\n

The state-owned company has also been trialling the DVB-T2-Lite profile of the Digital Video Broadcasting \u2013\u00a0Terrestrial version 2 (DVB-T2) standard for mobile broadcasting.<\/p>\n

Mohapi explained that DVB-H (or DVB \u2013\u00a0Handheld) is already being used in South Africa, but Sentech are running trials on various other standards.<\/p>\n

One of its customers has been running a trial on the Korean DMB standard for two years, Mohapi said.<\/p>\n

Sentech also has plans for a multi-media content distribution platform, on the cards for its 2013\u20132016 roadmap.<\/p>\n

Part of this, Mohapi said, is Sentech joining NAPAfrica to peer at the Teraco data centre.<\/p>\n

This peering forms an important part of the infrastructure that\u2019s going to drive Sentech\u2019s multi-media content distribution platform, Mohapi said.<\/p>\n
