A teleport, or telecommunications port, is a centralized location providing access to advanced bandwidth services. Thaicom built a world-class teleport center in 1994 and is located at Lad Loom Kaew, Pathumthani Province, Thailand. The Thaicom Teleport and DTH Center contains very modern equipment and facilities to support any requirements for domestic or international satellite broadcasting services. Source signals and programs originating in Thailand can be pre-processed at the customer's premises and sent to our teleport via fiber optic cable or microwave.

The establishment of the facility comes from the digital Direct-to-Home (DTH) network expansion of cable TV operators. The facility extends from domestic to international services and supports any of the services relating to THAICOM transponders. This facility can handle a complete range of transmission services for hundreds of digital and analog TV channels.

Thaicom bundles services from the facility with THAICOM transponders to provide a one-stop service for broadcasting customers as well as coordinating with other suppliers on the end-to-end basis.

• Uplink and Downlink
• Studio and Tape Play Facilities – The preparation and broadcast of live or recorded programming
• Digital signal compression
• Satellite Turnaround – Signal collection from one satellite for transmission to another satellite
• Conditional Access
• Satellite News Gathering – Mobile signal transmission service
• High Definition Television (HDTV) Transmission Service

With ground equipment facilities, customers can uplink directly to a Thaicom satellite for turnaround at the teleport in case when a transmission needs to be sent to another satellite.

Without uplink facilities, customers can send program tapes to the teleport for playback and transmission via Thaicom satellites. Our teleport provides many related services and facilities to its customers such as video conferencing system, television studio and post production equipment.
