Distribution

Delivering Your Content Everywhere

When it comes to bringing your content to new audiences around the world, it’s important that it arrives at the right place and the right time. Satellites are ideal for transmitting content to cable and terrestrial networks on every continent. At NIGCOMSAT Ltd, we provide the lease of dedicated space segment services for your content distribution. Our satellites are the main distributor of cable programming, with neighbourhoods that reach almost every cable household, in West Africa and Southern Africa bringing the world’s most informative and entertaining programming to your audiences.

You will benefit from:

  • Reaching 100% of the network head-ends in the covered regions (both cable and terrestrial)
  • Prime video content neighbourhood on DTH orbital slots
  • The ability to transmit high-bandwidth content, such as HD and Ultra HD
  • Optimized link for distribution
  • Extremely reliable service from ground to satellite, with three levels of back-up
  • DTT and Cable Distribution

Wherever your audience is, we deliver your TV and radio content from your central broadcasting centre to the terrestrial towers or repeaters in your network, so that it can be broadcast via terrestrial networks to your customers’ homes. This means you can expand your network without incremental costs.

Whether you’re uplinking your content to our satellites from your own broadcast centre or from our teleports, we use MPEG-4 DVB-S2 and HEVC technologies so you can be sure of a smooth transition to HD when you’re ready.

With cable distribution, our satellites feed media content to cable head-ends, or integrated together with DTH. As the satellite feed is made available, it can be dimensioned to make the best possible use of the satellite capacity, often achieving a higher throughput than is achieved with DTH.
