Newtec has been selected by Beirut-headquartered IDMI for its award winning FlexACM® technology to boost capacity and availability on key satellite IP trunking links between Greece and ten customer sites in the Middle East. IDMI is a specialist of satellite and wireless solutions and services across the Middle East, East and South Asia, Europe and Africa.

FlexACM® will optimize IDMI’s return on investment (ROI) by increasing the bandwidth efficiency of the satellite transmission on average and guaranteeing the highest service availability for its customers. This is the latest major international success for the product, which gives Newtec customers around the world the opportunity for increased output, lowered operational expenses, improved Quality of Service (QoS) and the capability to use new resources such as Ku-band/Ka-band.

FlexACM® combines a range of cutting edge technologies for implementing Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), traffic shaping, payload compression and IP acceleration in a highly efficient way for IP trunking and IP backbone satellite links. In addition to doubling the capacity of an existing link, on average, it also guarantees 100 per cent availability of link reception, even when all other systems are down due to heavy rain fade. FlexACM® can be used in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems, in one way (with terrestrial return channels) as well as two way configurations (with the return channel also over satellite). It can be used to upgrade existing satellite links without changing other elements of the transmission chain, such as the antenna or HPA.
