About SmartLNB
A consortium around Eutelsat has developed the SmartLNB, a small device
that combines satellite TV and internet, potentially providing tens of millions
of DTH consumers extra capabilities like interactive TV, social media, video
on demand via IP-TV channels, multi screen viewing in the home, and home
automation services.
The smart LNB is an innovative device that, while allowing traditional Ku-band
reception of DTH satellite signals, provides a narrowband return link with
full IP routing. The smart LNB reuses the coaxial cabling of existing installations
and is connected to the IP home network as well as to legacy STB’s. It enables
a wide range of Connected TV and M2M usage scenarios, offering a transparent
bidirectional IP link compatible with existing applications, and ready to
support advanced services provided by the satellite bouquet operators. Possible
services include: payment transactions, subscription-based and on-demand
services, voting, betting, rights clearing, social applications, customer
intelligence, home automation, data gathering. For the first time in satellite
services evolution, the smart LNB provides a cost-effective solution for
interactive broadcasting and M2M services, scalable to tens of millions
users, with a consumer-grade equipment.
