卫星电信系统提供了缩小欠发达地区数字鸿沟的最佳和最快的解决办法，因为它们的地理覆盖面很广，而且终端设备的部署速度很快。然而，卫星系统必须是高效和具有成本效益的，并且能够与最先进的地面宽带网络完全互通。本文介绍了一种在UNIC(通用卫星家庭连接)项目框架下开发的新型双向宽带卫星体系结构，该项目是在欧盟第六个研究计划框架内发起的。新闻中心系统架构分别在前向链路和反向链路中采用DVB-S2和DVB-RCS技术，向家庭中的实际终端用户提供以电视为中心的三网融合服务，并为向终端用户分配连接而新定义的低成本架构，包括一个特别互动机顶盒。
Satellite-based telecom systems provide the best and quickest solution to reducing the digital divide in less-favored areas owing to their wide geographical coverage and the speed and ease of deployment of terminal equipment. However, satellite system must be efficient and cost effective, and capable of full inter-working with state-of-the-art terrestrial broadband networks. This paper presents a novel two-way broadband satellite architecture developed in the framework of the UNIC (UNIversal satellite home Connection) project, sponsored within the 6th EU Research Programme Framework. The UNIC system architecture provides TV-Centric triple play services to actual end-users in the home employing DVB-S2 and DVB-RCS technologies in the forward and the return link, respectively, together with a newly low-cost defined architecture for the distribution of connectivity to end-users, including an ad-hoc interactive Set-Top-Box.
