...InSat to supply and install Sat3Play® hub and terminal technology delivering next generation Ka-band communications over Afghanistan. InSat plans to provide three distinct services for Afghan telecom providers based on Newtec’s Sat3Play technology: IP Trunking service for large companies and government agencies, VSAT services for small and medium companies and broadband IP Access services for consumers under its brand name hi-stream®. InSat CEO Valentine Gurinovich said Newtec was selected because of its history of providing cutting-edge, reliable technology and high quality of customer service.
InSat will be implementing the Newtec technology on Avanti’s Ka-Band satellite HYLAS 2, which is on track for a June 2012 delivery date. HYLAS 2 is a bi-directional Ka-band satellite with 24 spot beams across the Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa and Europe. Serge Van Herck, Newtec CEO, said the Sat3Play Ka-band solution is supporting a broad range of applications ranging from consumer broadband to more professional applications. The proposed solution can be easily scaled and expanded to other regions covered by the spot beams on HYLAS 2.
Newtec is exhibiting its Ka-band Sat3Play solution at CABSAT 2012 on booth S-G12. During CABSAT the company also invited guests to a presentation of the service alongside a Q/A session with ISPs and the media. Newtec company information link.
