Big TV to launch backup infrastructure in Bangalore
Reliance Big TV, the direct-to-home (DTH) service of Reliance Communications, is set to commercially launch its backup infrastructure site in Bangalore along with its Mumbai site early next week, sources close to the development said to Televisionpoint.con.
Set up at a cost of Rs 100 crore, the backup infrastructure network is a first for an Indian DTH operator. The Whitefield site in Bangalore has been developed to automatically provide a buffer against service problems that could affect customers during times of bad weather, poor signal or power failure.
Bangalore was chosen due to its suitable geographical location and the qualified technical expertise, a source said. Unwilling to comment on commercial tariffs for the DTH service, the source added that the service would be operational across 5,000 cities at similar price points.
Big TV service will use the Malaysian MEASAT satellite and an advanced transmission compression technology, MPEG-4 to offer about 250 channels, fully digital audio and video quality and interactivity.
Although several blogs and online forums are abuzz with speculation on Reliance's pricing strategy, the company sources said it \"would be frozen in the next few days\" and is likely to be \"a better value offering at current price points.\"
In the first phase of the launch, Big TV will roll out standard set-top boxes. Subsequently, boxes with High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) will be on the anvil.
