Russia has launched its first DTT multiplex in Siberia and the Far East of the country. The move is in accordance with the Federal Target Programme Development of TV & Radio Broadcasting in the Russian Federation for 2009-2015 and is being implemented by RSCC, the country’s national satellite communications operator.
It sees the MPEG-4 digital programme package formed at the RSCC’ Shabolovka Technical Centre distributed by fibre-optic links and onwards via the Express-MD180 degrees East and Express-AM3 satellites.
The programme package includes all must-carry public channels approved by a presidential decree signed in July this year.
