Housed in a data center located next to the satellite dishes, just outside the network operations center, the transmission hardware that produces, modulates, and manages the outgoing TV signal is also completely redundant. "In the data center, everything is on hot standby,” Wallace said. ”We absolutely cannot tolerate a failure.” This is the same equipment you’d see in any TV broadcast setup. The encoding and the waveform that MediaFLO uses is unique, but it really is a digital TV broadcast that just happens to end up on mobile phones rather than on normal TVs.
