Crown Castle International lauched a mobile TV network, Modeo, using 5MHz nationwide spectrum acquired from the FCC.
AZCAR provided systems design and technology integration services. The goal of the project was to develop a DVB-H-based broadcast center that met the challenge of delivering high-quality content to mobile devices.
The greatest design challenge was to bring together the latest in traditional broadcast and next-generation mobile TV technology into a cohesive, efficient broadcast center supporting dozens of mobile content channels and file services.
The facility supports the ingest of many different content types and sources to include both linear and nonlinear content sources delivered by satellite and IP-based transport services.
