Final Thesis

 
2.4 Recent research 
Actually, another broadcasting systems are recently developed like DVB-S2. This system wants to be used 
for all future European digital satellite multiplexes and the receivers will be equipped with both system: DVB-
S and DVB-S2. 
About digital TV on mobile devices, a terrestrial system was developed: DVB-H. This one introduces a 
flexible and robust digital system for hand-held terminals. This system is composed by a time slicing and a 
4K OFDM mode. 
All the digital broadcasting systems has the capacity to deliver multimedia in addition to television 
programmes. The DVB Project has developed a transport system for this type of data.

2.5 European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) 
The ETSI produces globally-applicable standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), 
including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and internet technologies. 
They are a non-profit organization and recognized by the European Union as a European Standards 
Organization. ETSI is composed with more than 700 organizations which members are from 60 different 
countries across the 5 continents. 
ETSI has as a main challenge to develop around the world the standards that are used for network 
telecommunications and another services. ETSI can be defined as a world producer, giving the 
telecommunications' standards for networks around the world which specifications helps to the international 
cooperation in this area. In Europe, this organization provides standards for the European market. This 
standards are regulated by the EU and they collaborate with another European organizations. It is also a 
services organization provider, developing standards for information and communication technologies. 
All the specifications and technical information about the standards is collected in the following documents
