delivering
its
services
to
telecom
carriers
and
ISPs,
multinational
companies,
government,
military
and
humanitarian
aid
organizations.
Under
the
partnership
agreement,
Newtec
and
Vizada
Networks
will
collaborate
on
the
development
of
the
next
generation
of

standards.
The
EL940
connects
directly
to
terrestrial
IP
network
infrastructures
via
a
single
autoswitching
Gigabit
Ethernet
interface.
The
receiver
demodulates,
restores
and
filters
the
data
received
from
the
satellite
at
rates
of
up
to
154
Mbit/s
optimised
for
applications
that
require
a
low
initial
investment
without
compromising
on
performance
to
ensure
the
highest
service
availability.
