I stumbled upon a Question and Answer (Q&A) video online with Dr Bright Echefu, the CEO himself and this video below will definitely clear your doubt about the newly launched paytv company and will undoubtedly assure you that they have come to stay. They have a clear goal.

So, TSTv will offer 4G internet service from their satellite platform. That is interesting. So many things are promised here that are ridiculously impossible. I wish they succeed at least to break DSTv monopoly but it appears they are too ambitious or simply know nothing about satellite technology.

then tell us what u know

For me this distribution is taking longer than expected o!

Well i only need them to air Epl,Uefa and laliga



If they can do that,this is how DSTV will leave Nigeria after 2 months of serious bashing

You can only have 4G internet services from wireless broadbands. Other wireless protocols are WiMAX, Long Term Evolution (LTE), WiFi, GPRS, 3.5/3.0G. While satellite bands are ku and c bands (and their derivatives).
I'm a Communication Engineer. TSTv claiming to provide 4G on a satellite platform is impossible and ridiculous. Except there will be SIM cards on their devices which is what I suspect because he mentioned 2 things:

1. That their decoder is Android.
2. That the device doubles as a router.

Essentially what they will offer is a smart phone in a big box. They will depend on your local GSM coverage and data for their data uplinks while downlinks are handled by their satellite feed.

My conclusion:
1. Their data speed will be terrible. Hence people buying the device just for data will be frustrated.
2. They are just a third party service provider. They don't have their own satellite feeds. They will also resell internet from main one (according to Dr Bright, their CEO). Thus, as resellers, they can't control or guarantee quality.

hmmmm,
OK thanks.

I have to wait and see.

Well, according to TStv's CEO, the data service will be handled by MainOne cable.

That means globacom. I'm not thrilled.
Correction: MainOne is south african equivalence of Glo submarine cable.

Ezigbonmadu:


That means globacom. I'm not thrilled.

Have you used Glo 4G LTE? Because I am right now, and it's fast.

I hope they live up to expectations.


Like for the success of TSTV

dustmalik:

My apologies, I just confirmed, MainOne is South African while Glo submarine is its Nigeria competitor hence not the same.
And yes, I currently use Glo 4G. The speed is unbelievably fast for a Nigerian data. And its also cheap.

Now the question for TSTv is this: How will they handle uplink?
