Nagra, an independent provider of content protection and multi-screen television solutions, is securing a new hybrid satellite/mobile service for South Korean satellite broadcaster and current Nagra customer, KT SkyLife.
The company says that the new service, SkyLife LTE TV (SLT), is a hybrid media service that allows passengers in cars and buses to enjoy high-definition satellite programming in real-time without interruptions caused by travelling in heavy rain or through tunnels.
By providing an LTE backup signal via the KT network, it is designed to provide a seamless viewing experience when vehicles enter or leave areas with a weak satellite signal. KT said it expects demand for mobile services to surge with the advent of 5G and autonomous vehicles.
