Newtec
Technology
Proves
It
Can
Increase
Capacity
for
Russia’s
Booming
Satellite
Market
September
23,
2010
Newtec
announced
at
the
SATRUS-2010
show
in
Moscow
the
results
of
its
landmark
trials
of
DVB-S2
Multistream
with
major
Russian
satellite
operators
including
the
Russian
Satellite
Communications
Company
(RSCC).
The
use
of
Newtec’s
DVB-S2
Multistream
has
the
potential
to
improve
capacity
levels
significantly
for
television
transmission
across
the
country.
Along
with
DVB-S2,
Newtec
presented
its
FlexACM®,
NoDE,
Equalink
and
4CPM
technologies
at
SATRUS-2010.
Russia
relies
almost
exclusively
on
satellite
transmission
for
television,
and
the
drive
to
introduce
Digital
Terrestrial
Television
(DTT)
across
the
country
over
the
next
few
years
is
creating
enormous
demand
and
satellite
capacity
issues.
Newtec,
working
with
RSCC,
used
its
Horizon
Multistream
solution
to
send
multiple
transport
streams
over
a
single
satellite
carrier.
This
included
three
bouquets
of
multiple
television
channels
transmitted
through
one
carrier
instead
of
the
traditional
multiple
carrier
solution
—
enabling
major
operational
savings
combined
with
optimal
transmission
quality.
Newtec
is
the
first
company
in
the
world
to
implement
fully
Multistream
capabilities
into
its
product
range
and
now
has
a
proven
track
record
through
multiple
deployments
worldwide.
Unlike
using
traditional
DVB
multiplexers,
Newtec’s
unique
DVB-S2
Multistream
implementation
does
not
modify
the
original
transport
streams
and
maintains
the
integrity
of
the
original
content.
This
makes
it
particularly
suited
for
mobile
and
terrestrial
TV
networks
and
gives
broadcasters
a
fully
transparent
and
efficient
way
to
carry
the
content
over
satellite
towards
the
transmitter
towers.
The
unique
combination
of
Multistream
with
Newtec’s
NoDE
and
Equalink
solutions,
makes
this
the
most
robust
and
efficient
solution
in
the
industry.
In
addition
to
the
important
capacity
savings
as
proved
in
the
RSCC
trials,
Newtec
Horizon
Multistream
technology
provides
the
lowest
recurring
operational
costs,
as
well
as a
lower
startup
investment
spending.
Benefits
also
include
the
lowest
number
of
separate
devices
both
in
the
head-end
as
in
the
tower
and
avoids
the
re-multiplexing
at
the
towers.
Serge
Van
Herck,
CEO
of
Newtec,
says:
"Russia
is a
tremendous
and
challenging
market
for
television
transmission
over
satellite
and
with
the
great
demands
now
being
made
upon
it,
I am
thrilled
that
our
trial
with
RSCC
has
been
so
successful.
We
are
proud
that
our
Newtec
products
are
leading
the
technological
advances
in
our
industry.
It
is
our
mission
to
deliver
to
our
customers
the
best
solutions
that
can
help
them
realise
their
business
objectives.
I’m
convinced
that
this
trial
will
prove
to
be a
real
landmark
as
Russia
strives
to
keep
pace
with
the
demand
for
digital
terrestrial
television
and
we
are
looking
forward
to a
successful
relationship
with
RSCC
for
our
new
projects
starting
after
the
SATRUS-2010
show."
