Newtec + Yahsat... Region's First Trunking Tool (SATCOM)


[SatNews] At CABSAT 2012, Yahsat is going to implement Newtec’s....

....FlexACM® technology for its high-speed, Ka-band IP trunking service. The new agreement will support Yahsat’s new business service, YahCarrier, which is set to be the region’s first Ka-band IP trunking service. YahCarrier will provide telecommunication carriers, ISPs and corporate network service providers across the Middle East, Africa and Southwest Asia, with reliable, cost-effective, ‘always on’ solutions for backhauling local internet data from underserved and un-served locations to the Internet. Newtec will support YahCarrier by enabling the highest service availability and speed by installing its hubs and terminals on each side of the satellite link powered by FlexACM. The service optimizes IP satellite links in the most efficient way by reducing operational costs and increasing business profitability. FlexACM is available on the Elevation family of Newtec’s professional equipment. Newtec company information link.

Yahsat’s coverage extends over more than 140 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Southwest Asia. The Y1B satellite, which is set to launch in April 2012, will include a multi spot-beam Ka-band payload, designed specifically to support broadband access networks. Ka-band spot beam satellites re-use frequencies to maximize spectrum efficiency for more network capacity. Yahsat company information link.
