Direct-to-Home Satellite (DTH)
DVB-S / DVB-S2 Satellite Platform Solutions
AUCOM SA delivers end-to-end Direct-to-Home satellite platforms — from uplink head-end and capacity planning to conditional access, subscriber management, and nationwide consumer reach across South Africa.
OVERVIEW
Turnkey Direct-to-Home Satellite
AUCOM SA delivers end-to-end Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite platforms based on DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X standards. From uplink head-end design and satellite capacity planning to conditional access, subscriber management and consumer set-top box ecosystems, we provide complete pay-TV and free-to-air DTH services that reach every corner of South Africa — including areas where terrestrial coverage is uneconomical.
DTH complements our DTT offering, giving broadcasters and operators a hybrid distribution strategy that maximises population reach while optimising spectrum and infrastructure spend.
