Furthermore, against the background of massive video consumption in today's world, Ester Fernández, Marketing Manager of Hispasat, will moderate the interactive session Future TV ecosystem: more quality, more flexibility and more screens, which will have representatives from Proximus, Nagravision, Amazon and a pay television operator. Satellite remains the most important technology for the distribution of audiovisual content and, through its integration with terrestrial networks, it will continue to maintain the efficiency of its services.

El evento terminará con una retransmisión en directo de un partido de la Eurocopa que, gracias a una demostración de la solución SAT>IP preparada por Hispasat, que convierte en IP la señal recibida vía satélite, podrá verse en las tablets y los smartphones de los asistentes sin necesidad de utilizar la red terrestre de banda ancha.

Through different debates, workshops and live demonstrations, ESOA members, including Hispasat, will show the diversity of applications and services offered by satellite operators to contribute to the advanced digitalization of various sectors such as trains, automobiles, airplanes, emergencies, media or entertainment.
