Newtec announced that InSat GmbH, which has been operating its own hub and related infrastructure in Saarbruecken, Germany since 2000, has selected Newtec’s equipment for a new project in the Middle East and Central Asia. This solution includes Newtec’s state-of-the-art satellite Elevation modulators and demodulators for IP trunking applications over satellite in full compliance with DVB-S2 standards. The IP links use a 32 APSK modulation and coding scheme, delivering the highest efficiency available on the market today. InSat, a Newtec customer since 2005, has seen tremendous growth over recent years, increasing their sales eightfold. For this new project, Newtec was again the first choice for the new Internet backbone installation in the Middle East and Central Asia. InSat is implementing this project with a data throughput of nearly 350 Mbps using only three 36 MHz satellite transponders. This high throughput is achieved by combining the high efficiency of the 32 APSK modulation with the high processing speed of the IP interfaces of the Newtec equipment.
