亲爱的读者们:
地址
TELE-satellite Magazine 本期《国际卫星电视》将聚焦中国。我们从一开始就在问我们自己这样一个问
PO Box 1234 题:所有的这些接收机都是哪儿来的。直到几年前,因为很多制造商还都分布
85766 Munich-Ufg 在很多不同的国家,这个问题的答案仍然不很明朗。但是在今天,问题的答案
GERMANY/EUROPA UNION 已经很清楚了,大多数接收机的原产地就是中国。甚至即便是一些特别的型号
或者特别的品牌,其中的一些元器件也差不多都在中国生产。

我们已经多次报道了九洲电器生产的
卫星接收机,但是今天,我们要来说一
说他们的地面电视接收机。我们希望能
够了解九洲电区目前的状况如何。没有比
九洲电器研发团队的经理更适合的人选
来告诉我们答案了。

Zhang Enyong告诉我们新近发生了什
么: “几年前九洲电器开始生产本地电
视机顶盒,而就在最近,我们也投产了
面向拉丁美洲市场的ISDB-T机顶盒。”自
从2008年初九洲就已经开始跨入本地
DM B-TH的市场。研发团队经理Z ha n g
Enyong告诉我们: “我们的研发团队正
在努力开发一种同时具备DVB-T和DVB-
C功能的接收机,这种型号的接收机将
在2010年初上市。”

他们所生产的接收机大约50 % 采用
DVBT标准,35%采用美国的ATSC标准,其
余的15%采用拉丁美洲的ISDB-T标准。
■ Zhang Enyong是研发部门的经历,他正在向我们展示最新的九洲牌机顶盒彩页。
销售团队经理Huang We向我们介绍
道:“从2010年到2011年,我们期望每年
增加20%的DVB-T机顶盒销量。”就在此
时,标准清晰度机顶盒扮演了销量的主
力军,即60%, “然而在2011年我们将会
看到变化:高清晰度机顶盒将会占到接
收机销售总量60%的份额,而标准清晰度
机顶盒的销售量将下滑至40%。”
■ 市场销售助理Zoe Liu向我们展示最新
的DVB-T2系列产品。
当然,我们对九洲电器的所有新鲜事
都比较八卦。“我们刚刚开始了DVB-T2
PVR接收机的研制工作”,研发小组经理
Zhang Enyong向我们揭示道,
“我们也
正在开发一种具备双调谐器的型号,这
种型号将在2010年中期上市。”

12 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 02-03/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com


随后他走进他的实验室,拿回来了一
个样本: “这是我们的最新产品,具备
DVB-T接收功能的移动电视。”

这种产品将无疑将制造一个轰动,
如 此 之小的电 视 玩 起 来 将 会 很 有 意
思。 “这个产品将在2010年中期面世”,
Zhang Enyong解释道。

Zhang Enyong带领了一个由100名工
程师组成的团队。 “他们中的大约50名专
攻数字地面电视”,Zhang Enyong解释
道。我们已经等不及看到所有即将面世
的那些很有意思的九洲电器的产品了!

■ Huang
Wei负责整个销售团队(背景)。
任何人要是向九洲电器订购产品的话,都
会通过在这里工作的40名工作人员之一来
下订单。

■ 来自国际市场部的阎晋媛正在向我们展示具备DVB-T天线的移动电视实验产品。

双输出LNB是我们最先测试

在结束了双输出LNB的测试

是在误码率方面,这两个型号

非常好的结果。

最后是对八输出的测试。
我们采用了标准的TM-8和高

一个新的接收机制造商的诞生

中国的深科技开始投产
62 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 02-03/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com
■ 坐落在深圳的深科技管理大楼

就在这期《国际卫星电视》出版的时候,深科技已然成为了又一家卫星接收机
制造商。当我们造访他们的时候他们刚刚完成组装线的安装并开始试运行。
深科技何许人也?到底是什么原因致使这家公司投入了卫星电视接收机的制
造商的行列?

www.TELE-satellite.com — 02-03/2010 — TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine 63


关于第一个问题,我们还得求教于深
圳开发科技股份有限公司的市场部主管
Lidya Jin.她是这样向我们解释深圳开
发科技股份有限公司是如何一路走来成
为今天这样的: “深圳开发科技股份有
限公司是在1985年,在时任电子工业部
部长、前国家主席江泽民的提议下建立
的。”

这家公司所生产出的第一件产品是硬
盘磁头。从1995年起,该公司开始生产电
能表。今天,生产总量高达5百万的电能
表中一部分出口到印度。 “我们为印度市
场生产一种防止篡改窃电的电能表”,

■ 生产大楼一瞥

Lidya Jin解释道。深科技同样向意大利
的电子设备公司ENEL出口电能表。这些
电能表都是根据客户要求特别设计的。
直至今日,深科技已经向意大利出口了大
约1千7百万只这种电能表。

深科技同时又是硬盘盘芯、收银机、
多媒体播放器、投影仪、线路板、DRAM模
块、U盘乃至手机的生产商。但是,这些
产品的大多数并没有印着深科技的名
字,取而代之的是这些产品都印着订货
的商家的商标。深科技将他们自己摆在
电子产品制造服务提供商的位置上。他
们的客户大多是一些像希捷和三星这样
的国际知名公司。

深科技拥有8000名员工,2008年的销
售额是20亿元。深科技的最大股东是
1999年在香港股票交易所上市的长城
工业公司。长城工业公司又隶属于中国
100强企业之一的、中国最大的IT公司、
在2008年的销售额大约是100亿美元的
中国电子集团。

深 科 技在两个 地点运营:主要部分
在深 圳 运营,拥 有610 0名员工,占地
80,000平方米。另外一个地点设在长江
三角洲的苏州,拥有2100名员工,占地
14,800平方米,主要为三星笔记本电脑和
希捷硬盘制作线路板。

当我们参观制造工厂时,我们可以清

像三星这样的世界级的工厂永远把质

No sooner said than done: an LLC (lim-

The doctor controlled a large portion of

sheer coincidence, a friend showed off

This calls for a radical solution: All coax cables had been disconnected so that the

In the end the whole area was cleaned and the antennas were hooked up to the

SATELLITE INFORMATION New Satellites

New Satellites to be launched soon


Edited by
Aleksandar Medic

INTELSAT NEW DAWN


INTELSAT NEW DAWN, a satellite built and launched in a joint venture with
Convergence Partners, a South African investment group, will utilize orbital
location of 33° East which is ideally positioned to serve the growing needs of
African continent with fixed satellite services such as voice communications,
wireless backhaul, broadband connectivity and television programming. This
USD 250 million satellite, built by Orbital Sciences Corporation will have two 4.8
kWh capacity Li-Ion batteries in order to support its hybrid payload consisting
of 28 C- and 24 Ku-band 36 MHz transponders. After its launch as 50th Intelsat

satellite put in orbit by Arianespace, using an Ariane 5 or Soyuz launcher, it


will replace GALAXY 11 which is currently located at 33° East. INTELSAT NEW
DAWN will use the Star-2 platform. This satellite with two deployable antennas
will weigh about 3,000 kg at launch and have a design life exceeding 15 years.

KOREASAT 6
KOREASAT 6, a commercial communications satellite owned by KT
Corporation (formerly Korea Telecom), will be boosted into geostationary
transfer orbit by an Ariane 5 or Soyuz launcher from the Guiana Space Center,
Europe’s Spaceport, French Guiana. This satellite will be built by the French
company Thales Alenia Space using a Star-2 platform from Orbital Sciences
Corporation. Thales will supply the payload and US-based Orbital Sciences
Corporation will carry out final spacecraft, payload and system integration
and testing at its manufactoring facility in Dulles, Virginia. KOREASAT 6
will weigh 2622 kg at launch and generate 3.4 kilowatts of payload power
for its 30 Ku-band transponders. From 116° East orbital position where
it will replace Koreasat 3 satellite, this satellite will provide DTH, CATV
distribution, TVRO, and VSAT services throughout the Republic of Korea.

For many years, Greece was one of the
countries in which satellite reception with smaller dishes
was not really possible. Even with larger dishes the local
geographical situation was of the greatest influence on
the reception in many cases.
In practice, many Greeks just had to do trial and error
for many years. The Greeks have always participated
in our discussions about satellite reception, being pre-
pared to try any construction to find a solution.
So it was just a matter of time before a company would Travel into the Past
come along and offer some real innovative products on TELE-satellite Magazine
this field. Attisat Satellite Systems is one of these very
young companies, now introducing their first product. Issue 01-02/2000 http://www.TELE-satellite.com B 9318 E ISSN 0931-4733 01-02
