theibcdaily STB to go AirTies By Ian McMurray
A portable wireless set-top box, small enough to fit into a handbag, is one of the centrepieces of AirTies’ IBC stand.
Measuring just 10 x 10cms, the miniature STB attaches wirelessly to the IP gateway and can easily be moved from room to room. It features RF remote control and home automation capabilities to enable remote programming and is portable enough to take anywhere.
The combination of the Air
7405’s Wi-Fi connectivity and the device’s miniature form factor makes it a ‘set- top box to go’, says the company, allowing consumers to take their HD viewing experience with them to the next room or the next country. The STB wirelessly connects to the home gateway and
works on any unmanaged internet connection, effectively unbundling the provision of the pay TV service from the broadband service offering and opening up new revenue stream opportunities, AirTies believes.
The Air 7405 is a small OTT/IPTV STB and now available in trial quantities. It uses the latest Broadcom 7250 system-on-a-chip (SOC) chipset with 5K DMIPS CPU, an HEVC decoder, and USB 3.0 plus AirTies’ wireless video connectivity. It comes complete with built-in 2x2 802.11ac wireless connectivity, operating at 2.4 or 5GHz frequencies, together with AirTies Mesh Technology, allowing consumer self-service installation and extending wireless coverage. 5.B33

What do containerised turnkey radio broadcast stations, a high-profile production facility build in London for a Middle East- based news channel and the relocation of all television and radio production and transmission facilities for Greenland's KNR, have in common? They're all recent successful projects being showcased by Danmon Systems Group. The group's full range of systems integration services is also on display, along with details of a green-field production and transmission complex for Lào Cai Radio & Television in Vietnam. "The past year has proved one of the busiest we have experienced in over three decades of supplying broadcast-related
Exporting success: Complete containerised turnkey radio stations en route from DSG headquarters
consultancy, systems and services," said deputy managing director, Peter Thomsen. "A key reason was our strategy of becoming a globally active group.” Thomsen said the first step in this expansion had been the acquisition of UK-based ATG in September 2006. "More recently we have
formed divisions in Asia, the Middle East and Spain,” he continued. “We also have a close working relationship with our sister companies within the Dan Technologies group including the satcom systems specialist Hiltron in Germany and various Danmon partners across Scandinavia." 8.B51
