SkyDGR™ DIGITAL GATEWAY ROUTER

The SkyDGR – Digital Gateway Router is Cerona’s
newest addition to its growing line of satellite network
solutions. The SkyDGR is a Linux-based fully compliant DVB IP
Encapsulator. The SkyDGR encapsulates IP data into MPEG-2 packets and creates a DVB-compliant transport stream for broadcast over a variety of digital transmission systems.
Applications include high-speed Internet delivery, streaming audio and video, distance learning, corporate LAN/WAN
interconnection, and Web caching.

The SkyDGR is ideally suited to provide media-rich broadband IP content streams to a satellite uplink facility, cable headend, multisystems operator (MSO) or corporate data center over satellite, cable and fixed wireless infrastructures.

Embedded Architecture

By virtue of its Linux server design, the SkyDGR eliminates
common problems associated with many NT based
encapsulator solutions such as “blue screen” lock-ups and incompatible application software. The SkyDGR’s Linux system allows changes in quality of service (QoS) and service type in real-time, without service outages.

The SkyDGR delivers IP data directly to a satellite, cable, or wireless broadcast modulator for output to any DVB compliant receiver, including Cerona’s own satellite SkyDSR satellite router. The SkyDGRs, in tandem with Cerona’s complete line of
high-speed data receivers, offer an unparalleled end-to-end broadband IP solution.
