[SatNews] Using modulation technologies, the Company is realizing a DVB-S2 data rate increase of significant proportions...

RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST) and NovelSat have revealed that live testing of its NS3™ modulation solution resulted in a 26 percent data rate increase over DVB-S2. NS3 achieved a rate of 8.25 Mbps compared to DVB-S2’srate of only 6.54 Mbps, over a 3 MB carrier. This remarkable achievement should have an impact on the industry, especially for small data terminals as well as for SNG services. For certain applications, such capacity boost can be translated into usage of a much smaller antenna, namely around 35 percent smaller antenna diameter, for similar data rates.
