SVEC (Sichuan Video Equipment
Company) has beenmanufacturing sa-
tellite antennas of all sizes since 1993.
Production quantities are enormous:
SVEC manufactures several million
dishes each month. The most popu-
lar dish types are 60 and 75cm off-
set antennas. Next in line are 1.2 and
1.5-meter diameter dishes. But SVEC
also manufactures large segmented
dishes with diameters of 2.4 meters.
LatelySVEC is concentrating on expan-
ding their professional VSAT antenna
business. “We also offer Ka-Band di-
shes for Internet-via satellite”,we learn
from Becky,Manager of the Internatio-
nal Sales Team. And, really, that’s the
reason why we came to pay a visit to
SVEC: professional products require
professional production.
We already reported onSVEC back in
TELE-satellite 02-03/2010 issue. Even
back then we already mentioned how
SVECwas becoming active inVSAT and
the Ka-Band. Since then SVEC has in-
vested enormously to not only guaran-
tee production quality but also to raise
thequality tonew levels; levels thatare
unheardof foramanufacturer thatpro-
ducesmillions of dishes everymonth.

Successwith

Neal isManagingDirector forHypexandpersonally
takescareof theirprofessionalbroadcast andcableTV
customers.
Not many digital TV product dealers
can boast over 30 years success in the
business (in 2012 it will be 33 years).
One of the fewwholesalers that fall into
this category is the company Hypex in
London. We paid a visit to them just
before theymoved into their newware-
house.
Hypex was founded in 1979 by Shyv
Sood. He is an electrical engineer and
recognized back then the need for com-
mercial receivers and other broadcast-
ing equipment.
As a one-man operation he sold
among other things DX
Communications ama ur
radio re eivers. Relatives
from his family came later
on and started working f r his
company and so Hypex became
stronger and stronger over the years.
Just a few y ars ago the company be-
came a li ited liability corporation and
now operates under the name Hypex,
Ltd.
Hypex is a pure wholesaler and does
not sell to endusers.ManagingDirector
Neal tells us more: “We ship to roughly
600 active dealers of which 15% are
outsideofGreatBritain.”Hypex custom-
ers can be found as far away as Malay-
sia. Neal xpl ins how it came to that:
“Over those many years our company
hasbecome verywell-known and estab-
lished and asde from that any Asian
companies have their own branch office
inGreatBritain. For those it’smuch sim-

Develop ent Team
JimmyZhang isdigitalTV
devicemanufacturer Jiuzhou’s
MarketingViceManager and
is also responsible for the
marketingof theirOTTunits.
Internet services and terrestrial/sat-
ellite TV are constantlymerging closer
together.Many currentdigital receivers
already have an Internet connection
butmost of the time this connection is
only used to load new software into the
receiver or to connect the receiver to a
local network. The total integration of
Internet video and audio content with
digital receivers is still in its infancy.
Jimmy Zhang is Jiuzhou’s Marketing
Vice Manager and tells us what it’s all
about: “OTT stands for Over-The-Top.
Itmeans that viewers can not only see
their normal TV channels terrestrially,
via satellite or cable, they can now use
the same device to enjoy video and au-
dio content via the Internet.” YouTube
and VUDU, a movie service, are just
a few examples according to Jimmy
Zhang.The enduserdoesn’t really care
how the video and audiomakes it to his
TV screen, as long as he can use one
remote control to access everything
that’s available.
Unfortunately, a weak spot in the
OTT technology is the bandwidth of the
end user’s Internet connection. Video
transmissions require a large band-
width. Therefore, right now these OTT
compatible digital receivers would re-
ally only have markets in Europe and
North America even though there are
many other regions that offer scattered
high-speed Internet access. “We’re fo-
cusing on these twomarkets”, confirms
Jimmy Zhang, “Buying power is the
highest there.”

ManagerRichardwho is responsible for
the R&D Team. “Our entire R&D Team
consists of 200 engineers”, clarifies
Vice General Manager Richard, “We’re
working with the Android as well as
with the Linux operating systems.”
Department Manager Yongjun Zhang
is in charge of the Application Team
consisting of ten engineers. This is
where the functioning of the software
is tested and optimized so that end us-
ers won’t have any trouble accessing
all the different Internet services with
their Jiuzhou receiver later on.

though older digital receivers can be
upgraded with OTT, theymight not be
good enough to truly take advantage of
OTT. “The chips get faster and faster
every day and if you upgrade a digital
receiver that has an older chipset with
OTT, you might not be able to enjoy
theseOTT services interference-free.”
The end result is that itwould be far
better toupgrade anewdigital receiver
withOTT services; only thenwould the
menu operation and the speed and ca-
pabilitiesof thebuilt-in chipsbeoptimal
for theseOTT services.
The Jiuzhou development team is
working feverishly on the best possible
solutions forOTT.

Marketing Vice Manager Jimmy Zh
to us, “This means that end users
merely have to upload a new software
version in order tomake their existing
digital receiversOTT compatible.”
Even though it appears that this can
all be easily accomplished technically,
two things have to be kept inmind: the
firsthas to dowith a license since there
are many Internet services that have
to be paid for. The second is that even
