shown persistent interest in streaming
systems.”
Together with his staff of eight, six of
which were software engineers at the
time, Forcetech CEO Mr. Arojoy Wei de-
signed streaming software for commer-
cial applications during the initial phase
of his company. State-run institutions
such as schools and universities as well
as industrial enterprises ranked among
his first customers. Forcetech software
was implemented on the websites of
those customers for streaming video
content. Lan Haidong gives the example
of “lectures at schools and universities”
that could be accessed online for viewing
at home.
At the time, all streaming softwarewas
based on so-called multicast technol-
ogy, which means every client received
his or her stream directly from a central
content server. Things changed in 2008,
when Forcetech launched a P2P (peer-
to-peer) version of its software. What
was different from then on? With P2P all
connected streaming clients at the same
time function as active multipliers and
forward the received sign l to additional
clients. Lan Haidong: “P2P improves the
quality of the received signal, above all.”
Signals need not be fed from a central
server any longer, but can be received

BangXingPeng are the foundersof
Tianditong.
Ultra-modern
production
equipment for
conquering the
world market
There was a time when a huge num-
ber of hard-working employees manu-
factured large quantities of all sorts of
products. For most successful compa-
nies, this has long become a thing of
the past, and Chinese satellite dish and
antenna manufacturer Tianditong is a
perfect example of that development.
Almost every step of the production is
completed by highly efficientmachines,
and even the few components that still
requiremanualworkwill be assembled
by automatic equipment in the foresee-
able future. All this results in roughly
three million antennas being manufac-
tured by less than 300 employees. Im-
pressive numbers – and reason enough
for us to pay a visit to that company.
Our first port of call is a small office
right in Beijing. As little as 20 employ-
eeswork at this site,with sixmembers

QingZhangLin is
SAT-LINK’sGeneral
Manager
SAT-LINK has
only one product
group: digital
signal nalyzers
DigitalMeterManufacturerSAT-LINK,Quanzhou,China
If you do only one thing, you can fully
focus on that one thing. This is Qing-
Zhang Lin’s philosophy. He is General
Manager of the five-year young compa-
ny SAT-LINK. “We only produce digital
signal analyzers”, confirms QingZhang
Lin, “and are exclusively involved in the
exportmarket.”
The company was founded only five
years ago in 2008 with 20 R&D em-
ployees and200production employees.
Five years later it has grown to 30 R&D
engineers and 250 production employ-
ees.
SAT-LINK’s headquarters are located
in Quanzhou’s High Tech Park in the
Fujian province in southeastern China
directly across from Taiwan. The pro-
duction facilities with the latest SMT
machines are in the Luojiang suburb
northeast of the seven-million-inhabit-
ant city ofQuanzhou.
Since SAT-LINK only exports their
products, we wanted to know where
theyallgo.GeneralManagerQingZhang
Lin lists for us all the different regions:
“60% of our production is shipped to
Europe, 20% travels to theMiddle East,
10%goes toNorthAmericaand the rest
are shipped to the remaining regions.”
SAT-LINK has expanded its product
range so that four different classes are
covered. The top-end and thus most
expensive signal analyzer comes with
the largest display and an illuminated
keyboard. One of the analyzers in this
series, the comboSAT-LINKmodelWS-
6936 forDVB-S andDVB-T,was already
introduced by us in the 11-12/2012 is-
sue. Business Manager Nancy tells us

that this analyzer series is very popular
in Europe.
The next class of analyzers are those
with smaller displays and non-illuminat-
ed keyboards. “These analyzers are es-
pecially popular in theMiddle East.”
There are also two brand new Satel-
lite Finder product lines: one of these
handymodels evenhas a camera input.
“This is actually in high demand in the
Middle East since many people there
have installed security cameras. They
canuse thisnew signal analyzer to very
easily check the function of these cam-
eras.” This new satellite signal analyzer
with camera input even comes with a
12V output to supply power to the se-
curity camera.
And as if that weren’t enough, SAT-
LINKalsooffersasimpleSatelliteFinder
withadisplay thatonly shows reception
parameters and therefore can be of-
fered very inexpensively. “This instru-
ment is, for example, very well-suited
for South America”, Business Manager
Nancy tells us.
And with that, SAT-LINK covers the
fourmost important functions and pric-
ing levels and can therefore offer these
devices to all the regions of the world.
All of the signal analyzers also come
with DVB-S2 tuners and the terrestrial
versions and combomodels come with
not onlyDVB-T/T2 butwill soon also be
available with ATSC (for North Ameri-
ca) and then in the following year with
ISDB-TB for the South American mar-
ket. “We’re in the process of expanding
our activities in the Americas”, reveals
General Manager QingZhang Lin, “and
wewill also have a greater presence at
trade shows in that area.”
While SAT-LINK in their first yearwas
only able to sell about 10,000 pieces,
five years later those production num-
bers have nearly quintupled. And it’s
especially their brand new combomod-
el for DVB-S2 and DVB-T2 that prom-

Canal 7 and the just-started private TV
channel Canal 9.” These four channels
were on the INTELSAT V-F13 satellite.
“I could also receive the channels on
BRASILSAT A1 andGORIZONT.”
It didn’t take long for him to realize
that hi 2.5-meter dish was too small
for theC-band and in 1987 hewas able
toacquirea3.4-meterantenna.The fol-

Paul Pickering founded the signal
analyzermanufacturer Horizon back in
2001. In 2011 the company celebrated
its 10-year anniversary and could be
proud of the 125,000 satellite signal
analyzers that they had sold thus far –
see TELE-audiovision issue 10-11/2011.
For the end of 2012 he is able to add
another surprising figure: “By then
we’ll have sold 160,000 analyzers in
every DVB sector.” Horizon started as
a manufacturer of satellite signal ana-
lyzers but over the past several years
they’ve expanded into other sectors
th t now cover every other DVB fre-
quency range.
Paul Hardcastle, who has been with
Horizon for seven years and is now
their Technical Director, explains to us
