AUDIOVISUAL
DTH – DIRECT TO HOME
These services allow home aerials to receive TV and radio channels direct from satellites. Satellite DTH ensures robust and reliable communications when it comes to delivering audiovisual TV platform content to end users more efficiently.
HISPASAT has developed flexible, shared-risk models for small DTH operators, who receive income based on the number of subscribers.
UHDTV
As part of its DTH service, HISPASAT has two 4K channels and, since 2017, together with Media Broadcast Satellite it provides 4K distribution services in EMEA via a shared digital platform that is exclusively used for ultra high definition contents.
DISTRIBUTION
In distribution services, once content is received and processed in the satellite broadcasting centre, it is broadcast by the satellite and received and transmitted through terrestrial networks: UHF/VHF, cable systems, microwave systems, etc.
HISPASAT, together with its partners, provides transmission services that can combine satellite technology with terrestrial technologies in order to enable a high-quality, readily available service for customers.
HISPASAT provides distribution services for 152 TV and 73 Radio channels within the coverage offered by all its satellites and across all forms of connectivity

DATA
IP TRUNKING
HISPASAT satellites offer network operators the option to create high-capacity trunk links. The availability of these links is ensured through monitoring systems at the company’s control centres.
HISPASAT can establish backup links via satellite for customers that need to ensure service continuity, thus guaranteeing the maximum availability of their communications networks.
MOBILE BACKHAUL
HISPASAT offers mobile telephone network operators the flexibility to deploy or expand their networks in time- and cost-efficient ways, connecting remote or inaccessible locations via satellite. This service is complemented with a global solution for the deployment of their networks, including backbone network connections and IP access, depending on the needs of each project.
Moreover, in those regions where HISPASAT has Ku and Ka bands available, the company is promoting hybrid cellular backhaul solutions to leverage the intrinsic characteristics of each frequency band.
INTERNET ACCESS
HISPASAT offers a satellite communications link that can be used by telecommunications operators to get direct and secure access to the Internet backbone, thereby offering broadband connectivity to its customers:
- In neglected areas, thus favouring universal internet access.
- Eliminating congestion on current networks.
- Cutting costs caused by reserving lines or fibre optic.
AVAILABLE BUSINESS MODELS
SPACE CAPACITY
HISPASAT provides satellite capacity (MHz) while operators look after deploying the requisite infrastructure to provide the service.
MANAGED SERVICES
HISPASAT provides an end-to-end solution by offering bandwidth capacity (Mbps) through its communications platforms.
28,147
Terminals
In managed services, the solution is based on a Virtual Network Operator (VNO) in which:
- The customer acts as a VNO and remotely accesses the HISPASAT platform to automatically provide its services to end users.
- HISPASAT, acting as a Hosting Network Operator (HNO), sells dedicated capacity: broadband slots (Mbps).
- The end-user terminals are the customer’s responsibility, and they can buy, install, maintain and register them on platforms.
OTHER INTERNET ACCESS APPLICATIONS
VoIP and video-conference
HISPASAT offers engineering and support services for customers to configure end user terminals to ensure voice/video-conference priority (real time service) over data services.
OVER 7,143
Terminals
TV and multicast data
Geared to customers that need to distribute content cost effectively to particular points in a specific region. The content is encapsulated in IP on HISPASAT’s broadband platforms, and is later uploaded to the satellite and then broadcast to the end user.
Unlimited browsing
HISPASAT has developed a solution to enable client traffic filtering by protocol. With this the user experience is improved, because the volume of data from pure browsing and e-mail is not deducted from the contracted monthly allowance. Only high consumption applications are counted and users can browse and check their e-mail at the nominal contracted speed, even when they go over their monthly allowance.
TRIPLE PLAY
HISPASAT’s Triple play solution via satellite enables voice, video and data services to be implemented with a single user aerial operating in the same orbital position.
- Reception of TV services via Ku band.
- Transmission and reception of data services via Ka.
INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT):
HISPASAT offers space capacity services and managed services for telemetry and remote control systems that enable the remote measurement of physical quantities and parameters, and subsequently send information to the system operator.
Satellite services in the IoT sector have numerous uses in the energy industry.
These services can be offered in remote locations and in transport contexts (such as on ships, in connected cars, trains, etc.).
HOTSPOTS WIFI NEW SERVICE!
The WiFi hotspot solution provides connectivity in public areas (libraries, kiosks, town halls, etc.), which enables the provision of value-added services to the general public.
This service includes the solution of residential WiFi hotspots to provide residential broadband services to homes.
