November
2010
Leading
VSAT
system
integrator
Nynex
has
installed
Newtec’s
technology
to
provide
new
coverage
for
the
Middle
East
and
Central
Asia
region.
Nynex’s
new
services
are
a
replacement
for costly
and
unreliable
existing
fibre
connections
to
the
area.
By
using
Newtec’s
FlexACM
technology
with
inclined
orbit
satellites,
Nynex
is
able
to
deliver
robust
connectivity
at a
significantly
lower
cost
with
unparalleled
availability.
Using
a
combination
of
Newtec’s
Elevation
ACM
Shaper
and
Encapsulators
(EL860),
Elevation
IP
Satellite
Modulators
(EL170),
and
Elevation
IP
Satellite
Modems
(EL470),
Nynex
is
running
three
transponders
on
Eutelsat
W48,
48
degrees
east
to
deliver
Internet
trunking
for
high-speed
Internet
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan
via
Wimax
and
3G
networks.
The
Newtec
equipment
is
installed
at
the
IABG
teleport
in
Ottobrunn,
Germany,
and
in
remote
locations
in
the
Middle
East.
Nynex’s
service
provides
connectivity
to
local
civilian
and
military
users
at
competitive
rates,
and
with
previously
unattainable
service
availability.
“By
combining
Nynex’
Monitoring
and
Control
System,
the
advantage
of
an
inclined
satellite
and
the
high
performance
of
Newtec’s
Elevation
technology
with
the
robustness
of
Newtec’s
FlexACM
solution,
we
can
now
easily
deliver
100
Mbit
rates,
much
better
service
availability
and
a
more
appropriate
solution
to
our
customers
in
the
region,”
says
Andreas
Buxbaum,
Managing
Director,
Nynex.
“We
are
already
working
on
an
extension
of
this
service
for
Africa
as
an
alternative
solution
to
the
very
expensive
and
unreliable
fibre
optics
Internet
backbone
there.”
Newtec’s
award-winning
FlexACM
combines
a
range
of
cutting
edge
technologies
for
implementing
Adaptive
Coding
and
Modulation
(ACM),
traffic
shaping,
payload
compression
and
IP
acceleration
in a
highly
efficient
way.
The
integrated
unique
patent-pending
Noise
and
Distortion
Estimator
(NoDE)
provides
accurate
monitoring
of
the
satellite
link
quality
and
enables
optimum
usage
of
satellite
transponders.
In
addition
to
an
average
doubling
of
the
capacity
of
an
existing
link,
FlexACM
guarantees
the
highest
level
of
link
availability
even
during
bad
weather
conditions,
making
it
ideal
to
use
on
Ku-band
and
Ka-band
links.
Using
FlexACM
on
inclined
satellites
enables
Nynex
to
use
the
satellite
capacity
to
its
maximum
at
all
times
as
FlexACM
automatically
adapts
the
link
parameters
to
the
available
satellite
power
level.
“With
this
installation,
Nynex
has
made
a
significant
improvement
to
the
Internet
service
available
in
the
region,”
says
Serge
Van
Herck,
CEO
of
Newtec.
“The
FlexACM
technology
is a
key
factor
in
facilitating
the
expansion
of
reliable
connectivity
at
costeffective
rates,
particularly
in
conditions
that
are
subject
to
heavy
rain
attenuation
or
other
regular
link
degradations.”
Newtec's
Elevation
IP
modems
are
designed
for
the
efficient
transmission
of
IP
over
satellite
at
rates
from
512
Kbps
to
160
Mbps
in
full
compliance
with
DVB-S2
standard
(including
16APSK
and
32APSK),
and
support
a
wide
range
of
encapsulation
protocols,
such
as
MPE,
ULE,
GSE
and
XPE.
They
can
be
used
in
point-to-point
or oint-to-multipoint
architecture
in
one-way
configurations
with
terrestrial
return
channels
or
two-way
configurations
with
return
channel
over
satellite.
