ENENSYS Solution Assists
Thomson Broadcast In Mali

E

NENSYS Technologies, a leading
provider of media delivery
solutions, announced that the Malian
Transmission
and
Broadcasting
Corporation (SMTD) in West Africa
has chosen ENENSYS' end-to-end SFN
DVB-T2 regionalisation solution.
For this collaborative project,
ENENSYS is supporting Thomson
Broadcast, who has been working with
the Malian government since 2018 on
the implementation of a nationwide
distribution of Digital Terrestrial
Television (DTT).
ENENSYS pioneered the delivery
of regional DVB-T2 services based
on Multiple PLP technology and
PLP substitution - the first system
was deployed in 2011 to deliver the
Multichoice GoTV service across SubSaharan countries. By optimising

the satellite bandwidth required
to distribute national and regional
services, ENENSYS allows a viable
business model for network operators
to launch DTT services by drastically
reducing the costs of satellite
distribution to the towers.
For the SMTD project, ENENSYS is
providing a comprehensive DVB-T2
solution.
The products used include its

dense DVB-T2 gateway (renamed
SmartGate-T2), IPGuardV2, SatCaster,
and TxEdge T2.
At the transmission site, the
TxEdge-T2 inserts DVB-T2 regional/
local services by replacing PLP from a
national T2-MI stream to a regional T2MI stream.
With broadcast testing currently
underway, the first station in Bamako
is set to be in service in April 2020.
