...for backhauling in Africa on Measat’s Africasat 1, 46 degrees East. Gilat Satcom upgraded their existing IP trunking network from DVB-S2 CCM/VCM operation to an adaptive ACM environment seamlessly integrating Newtec’s FlexACM® technology. For Gilat Satcom and its customers, this technology ensures a more robust link at the highest availability and the most efficient use of the bandwidth. This proven solution provides the highest throughput in a given leased space capacity to get the most out of this limited resource but being still flexible in matching any possible business model.
Newtec’s FlexACM solution implemented by Gilat Satcom combines a range of different technologies. These include Newtec’s Cross-Layer-Optimization™ and Clean Channel Technology™. Through Cross-Layer-Optimization the satellite modulation equipment is in continuous interaction with Newtec’s acceleration, compression, bandwidth management and IP shaping technology. As soon as the satellite link condition changes the link is automatically optimised using Quality-of-Service (QoS) and traffic priority settings. All of this is done without losing any data or connectivity. Cross-Layer-Optimization is unique on the market as it is shaping both the IP and the RF part of the network. Clean Channel Technology further improves satellite efficiency by up to 15 percent compared to the current DVB-S2 standard for IP trunking, backhauling and government networks but also broadcast contribution.
