The Saturno project, led by HISPASAT, successfully concludes its activities


18 April, 2013

The Saturno research project in new technology, led by the HISPASAT Group, has successfully completed its work after a final meeting which took place today at the School of Technical Engineering in Telecommunications of the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The project, started in 2010 and in which Spanish companies Blusens Broadcom, Gradient, Iecisa, Ikusi and Promax participated, centered on the distribution of content via satellite to all domestic devices (television, laptop computers, tablets or smartphones), using infrastructure currently available in every home (WiFi, cable, etc.) through the development of equipment based on IP technology conversion and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). The final demonstration of the project, which took place today at the Digital Home of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, integrated all points on the multimedia content distribution chain in the home (headers, receivers and display equipment) as initially proposed.

In this way, the user can see any content, when and where he wants, through a simple and low cost solution based on a single receiver that downloads content from the satellite, converts it and distributes it through any device compatible with this technology.

The HISPASAT Group, which had already made demonstrations of Saturno at the IBC trade fair in Amsterdam and at Matelec in Madrid last year, received the Tele Sintese Award in Innovation in Communications 2012 for this project last year through its Brazilian affiliate HISPAMAR Satellites.
HISPASAT participates in various innovation projects that support the development of new technologies and products, with the purpose of offering new services and advanced solutions to the Group´s clients. Achievements such as the Saturno project highlight the innovative spirit of the company once more.
