1 The German BK network: An overview in pictures Munich, June 2005

2 The main elements of a typical German CATV network Most of the network elements are located in the network level 3 master head-end ( BKVtSt ) head-end ( übk ) hub ( bbk ) street amplifier ( VrP ) home connect. point ( HÜP ) In-house network 1 / metropolitain area or per several cities Content is received from satellite TV signal is formed and distributed to head-ends 1 / city Local channels are added Amplifies and distributes signal to hubs 1 / part of city or per town Amplifies and distributes signal into coax distribution network (main streets) Amplifies signal approx. every 320m 1 / home Approx. 8 million HÜPs in Germany End of level 3 network Start of level 4 inhouse network Coax distribution network inside houses Approx. 27million households that are reachable by cable networks Satellite * Amplifier Up-link radio station TV-Studio TV-tower + master head-end head-end ( übk ) Coax- or fibre network (Vk-Netz) Hub ( bbk ) Coax line network (A-, B-, C- und D- Lines) Home connection point (HÜP) Network level 1 (TV studios) Network level 2 (Regional distribution network) Network level 3 (Local distribution network, approx. 500,000 km of coax cable) Network level 4 (In-House network) *Radio links are currently being replaced by optical fiber connections Seite 1

3 In a coax cable, frequencies between 5MHz and approx. 1000MHz (=1GHz) can be transmitted Currently, in a standard, non-upgraded network, TV and radio signals are being broadcasted between 47MHz and 470MHz in the framework of the PAL standard The spectrum is organized in bands, like SU (special lower band), SO (special upper band) or the hyperband In order to extend the spectrum beyond the standard limit of 470MHz, the network has to be upgraded: - To extend the spectrum until 606MHz, an exchchange of street amplifiers has to be performed - To extend the spectrum until 862MHz, some of passive splitters and buried taps have to be exchanged To enable interactivity (e.g. high speed internet, telephony), amplifiers modules for two-way transmission of signals have to be added, i.e. street amplifiers cabinets have to be modified Down stream 5 10 Up stream A Bd 65 I D A A A FM SU Bd III SO Radio A D A/D D Hyperband Band IV Currently used spectrum (in non-upgraded networks) A Analog channels (PAL) D Band V f [MHz] 862 Only if network upgraded Netw ork monitoring/management D Digital channels (QAM) (Upgraded part: data / Digital TV) Seite 2

12 Annotations This information intends to provide an overview of the structure of a typical German BK network and its elements Some of the complex infrastructure and network technology is illustrated in a simplified way Pictures in this document are examples for typical configurations The document is based on various data sources. The pictures show typical network elements of a German level 3 network During recent months, networks have partly been optimized with respect to the structure of the network level 2. The general structure shown in this document however still remains unchanged Seite 11
