Deployment and Provisioning

Kordia™ has developed a range of deployment and provisioning services to ensure your network works as it should. The people who install your network equipment are also able to monitor and maintain it.

Network Provisioning

Network provisioning involves the installation and commissioning of a wide range of terminal equipment.

We have extensive experience connecting subscribers to existing telecommunications networks.

Freeview

For the reception of Freeview and other free-to-view television content on the satellite, the Freeview group propose the use of a set-top box.

This box will meets their baseline performance and specifications (refer to the Freeview group for more details).

These set-top boxes receive and decode the television services, and include the MHEG-5 middleware or API application.

Info for digital terrestrial (DTT) TV installers

Kordia™ is installing 18 DTT broadcast sites around New Zealand. These sites will provide digital terrestrial television coverage to ¾ of New Zealand’s population.

In order for viewers to receive DTT, they will need to have a suitable:

• MPEG-4 set-top-box (STB) or integrated receiver
• UHF aerial that can receive the DTT signal from one of the 18 broadcast sites
