[SatNews] WAFA has launched an HX System Network Operations Centre (NOC).

This is a compact, cost effective satellite solution for large and small networks that provides high Quality of Service (QoS) on satellite AB1 at 12.5 degrees West. AB1 coverage includes: All Caribbean, Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao and all South America countries: Panama, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela. Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile.

The HX platform employs a most efficient implementation of the DVB/S2 industry standard including Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), and is fully compliant with IPoS (IP over Satellite), the first global satellite industry standard approved by TIA in North America, and ETSI and ITU in Europe. WAFA's special quality of service techniques and advanced proprietary TCP/IP compression brings much faster broadband downloads into play, as compared with unprocessed feeds. This will be the first deployment in South America of the HX System. Services are provided to customers in South America from the Turin Skylogic teleport, where the HX NOC will operate over the AB1 footprint. WAFA has extensive expertise in providing satellite solutions across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa using the HughesNet broadband satellite Internet service.
