Ericsson SVP 2000, Reference Manual, Page: 21 / 196

Introduction
- Interconnects facilities in remote regions
The goal is for each of the regions to provide news back to the main studios
as cheaply as possible. Thus allowing facilities to interconnect remote
regions. These regions may want to contribute their few minutes of news as
a packaged program thus providing broader news coverage.

Tier 2 Sports Coverage
- Extends coverage of regional events
The SVP 2000 provides a cost effective way to get content distributed. For
example, an operator could have valuable content and therefore having an
affordable contribution or distribution system would provide a new revenue
stream.
- Delivery of content over unmanaged networks
Another application could be the use of this technology at local sports
venues to feed minor sporting events like college football or minor league
baseball games or allows coverage of some of the niche events where
putting in a dedicated link would be cost prohibitive.

Content contribution from remote sites
- Provides cost effective mechanism for contribution
Third use case is where an operator is mandated to carry content from
remote sites e.g. must carry channels, PEG channels or some niches
channels. These channels again may not be of higher value to the operator
but they have to carry them.
- Allows use of standard public IP networks to reduce costs
Putting in expensive links like satellite or fibre may be prohibitive. SVP 2000
could offer a cost-effective alternative

Backup
- Setup as a backup link in the event of an emergency.
An operator could have an expensive primary link, but could use the SVP
2000 over an IP link in the event of an emergency thus providing a cost
effective backup link.
