DVB-NIP
The Next Generation of DTH 2.0
DVB-NIP brings native IP transport to satellite broadcasting, replacing legacy MPEG-TS with a fully IP-based distribution model. It transforms a satellite transponder into an IP backbone, enabling operators to deliver live TV, FAST channels, VOD, data services, and software updates anywhere — even where terrestrial connectivity is limited or unavailable.
With DVB-NIP, broadcast and broadband finally converge. The same IP feed can serve STBs, connected TVs, routers, edge caches, hotels, campuses, or entire ISP networks.
Why DVB-NIP Matters
Extend OTT/VOD coverage into rural and remote regions
Feed ISPs, cable operators, and headends over satellite
Deliver hybrid services combining satellite broadcast with broadband
Run large-scale live TV and VOD distribution with predictable bandwidth
Support modern devices and ecosystems using native IP workflows
