Newtec
MDM5000
Satellite
Modem,
targeting
the
high-end
mobility,
trunking
and
HTS
markets
Newtec,
announced
the
launch
of
its
most
advanced
VSAT
modem
to
date
–
the
first
on
the
market
to
support
wideband
DVB-S2X.
The
Newtec
MDM5000
Satellite
Modem
–
due
to
make
its
debut
at
SATELLITE
2016
and
CABSAT
2016
– is
capable
of
receiving
forward
carriers
of
up
to
140
MHz,
and
processing
over
200
Mbps
of
throughput.
On
the
return
channel,
it
supports
SCPC,
TDMA
and
Newtec’s
unique
Mx-DMA™,
up
to
75
Mbps.
With
forward
symbol
rates
from
1 to
133
Mbaud
and
coding
up
to
256APSK,
the
MDM5000
will
boost
efficiency
and
performance
on
legacy
satellites
while
fully
unleashing
the
potential
of
next-generation
High
Throughput
Satellites
(HTS).
As
the
latest
addition
to
the
Newtec
Dialog®
multiservice
platform,
the
MDM5000
is
designed
to
handle
a
wide
range
of
IP
services,
including:
Internet
and
Intranet
access,
Voice
over
IP
(VoIP),
mobile
backhauling
and
trunking,
along
with
video
contribution
and
multicasting.
“The
MDM5000
Satellite
Modem
represents
another
milestone
in
Newtec’s
long
history
of
innovation.
By
introducing
the
industry’s
first
DVB-S2X
VSAT
modem,
we
plan
to
enable
our
customers
to
better
serve
the
high-end
mobility
and
trunking
markets,
while
maximizing
the
benefits
of
HTS,”
said
Newtec
CEO,
Serge
Van
Herck.
“The
addition
of
the
MDM5000
to
our
comprehensive
modem
portfolio,
and
our
three
return
technologies,
ensures
that
Newtec
customers
will
always
have
the
optimal
solution
at
their
disposal,
for
every
application
and
price
point.”
Having
the
choice
between
Mx-DMA,
SCPC
and
MF-TDMA
within
a
single
modem,
gives
network
operators
the
flexibility
to
address
multiple
markets,
adapt
to
evolving
business
models
and
quickly
respond
to
new
opportunities
and
customer
requirements.
Newtec’s
unique
Mx-DMA
return
technology
delivers
the
efficiency
of
SCPC
with
the
dynamic
bandwidth
allocation
capabilities
of
MF-TDMA,
offering
more
than
50%
efficiency
gains.
Mx-DMA
is
ideal
for
mid
to
high-end
applications,
with
variable
return
rates
up
to
75
Mbps,
including:
cruise
ships,
oil
rigs,
super
yachts
and
cellular
backhauling.
For
applications
that
require
fixed
data
rates,
like
file/video
contribution,
SCPC
provides
highly
efficient,
dedicated
return
channels,
up
to
170
Mbps.
At
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum,
MF-TDMA
is
optimized
for
low-rate,
overbooked
and
bursty
traffic
profiles,
like
back-up
circuits
and
occasional
use
services.
As
with
previous
Newtec
Dialog
modems,
the
MDM5000
incorporates
Layer-3
routing,
advanced
Quality
of
Service
(QoS),
TCP
acceleration,
pre-fetching,
compression
and
encryption.
However,
the
MDM5000
also
supports
a
new
Layer-2
mode,
facilitating
integration
with
various
networking
topologies
and
routing
protocols,
like
MPLS
and
BGP.
It
also
comes
equipped
with
dual
demodulators,
for
future
seamless
beam
switching
on
HTS
networks.
“For
service
providers,
targeting
high-end
verticals
like
cruise
ships,
oil
rigs,
and
cellular
backhaul,
the
MDM5000
is a
game
changer,”
added
Kevin
McCarthy,
VP
of
Market
Development
at
Newtec.
“Up
to
now,
the
only
alternative
was
to
combine
multiple
low-end
MF-TDMA
modems,
or
resort
to
expensive
SCPC
circuits
to
address
the
extreme
throughput
demands
of
these
high-value
markets.
The
MDM5000,
paired
with
our
Mx-DMA
technology,
will
bring
welcome
relief
to
these
customers
and
strategically
position
them
for
the
transition
to
HTS.”
