|
SINT-NIKLAAS, Belgium, Feb. 9, 2007/Satnews Daily/ — Newtec is launching its new Elevation product line, a series of professional satellite communication equipment specifically designed and optimized for IP applications.
Built on a cost-effective design but based on an extremely efficient implementation of the DVB-S2 standard, Newtec said the new equipment is ideal for medium-rate data applications for which both investment and operational costs are sensitive factors.
Newtec said new IP encapsulation protocols, high modulation schemes and advanced features like VCM and ACM allow for maximum bandwidth efficiency and operational flexibility in applications such as primary distribution for IPTV, corporate networking, IP trunking, GSM backhauling and IP-based DSNG.
With the increasing importance of IP in all domains of telecommunications, operators are expecting satellite equipment to become network appliances. It should integrate seamlessly with the terrestrial part of the network, be simple to use, and optimize the efficiency of the network at an affordable cost.
But according to Dries Coppens, the product manager of Elevation, satellite communications remains a domain where reliability is essential. Elevation, he says, is designed for the specific requirements of IP networks but does not compromise on quality.
