DVB RCS  
 

Digital Video Broadcasting Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) is an open standard for bi-directional or two-way transmission of digital data. It employs satellite transmission using combinations of C, Ku and Ka bands with return bandwidth up to 2 Mbit/s. It takes full advantage of the benefits of satellite and is instrumental in efforts to bridge the digital divide.

Interoperability is one of the main advantages of DVB-RCS. Until DVB-RCS came along, customers of two-way broadband access via satellite had no choice except to commit to propriety systems, with all its inherent inflexibility and higher cost. Interoperability gives customers the choice of purchasing from one or several vendors throughout the lifetime of their systems. The result will be improved competition among vendors, reduced costs for users and accelerated enhancement of DVB-RCS equipment.
