Newtec set to boost satellite performance
for broadband and broadcast
As the satellite industry contin-
ues to be marked by uncertainty,
Newtec showcased a range of
satellite solutions at last month’s
ConnecTechAsia2018. These, said
the company, help broadcasters
and service providers enhance
efficiency and performance, thus
maximising the potential of their
business.
One of the solutions that
Newtec demonstrated at the show
was the new Satellite Network
Calculator. Designed to give users
the power to analyse performance
and evaluate potential gains made
by their satellite network in new
markets, the Satellite Network
Calculator provides insights from
the planning stage of a new net-
work all the way up to optimising
and implementing an established
network.
This, in turn, maximises the
operator’s business potential by
displaying how different elements
of the network would affect band-
width consumption and, therefore,
cost and capacity, said Newtec.
Used for distribution and contribution broadcast applications, the MCX7000 multi-
carrier satellite gateway platform is able to function as a quadruple modulator or
modem with dual demodulator.
Optimum efficiency and perfor-
mance were also top of Newtec’s
agenda at the event, as it offered
the Newtec Dialog Mobility Man-
ager. With the Mobility Manager,
Newtec is taking a new approach
by centralising the process at the
network operations centre (NOC),
giving operators control over all
terminals and beams on the net-
work. The behaviour of the Mobility
Manager is configured through a
rules-based engine, allowing net-
work operators to customise the
logic to match their business needs
and priorities.
The Newtec Dialog Mobility
Manager includes the ability to
switch between different satellite
beams. Incorporating a set of ap-
plication programming interfaces
(APIs) to provide control over beam
switching logic, facilitate network
load balance, routing and regu-
latory compliance, the Mobility
Manager overcomes the limitations
of previous systems and brings fur-
ther gains through capacity shar-
ing, which is enabled by Newtec’s
Mx-DMA technology.
To further enhance efficiency,
Newtec highlighted its DVB-S2X
Designed as a HTS modem, the Newtec
MDM2510 IP satellite modem supports
a wide range of services including
Internet/Intranet access, VoIP,
backhauling, mobility, contribution and
multicasting.
modem portfolio, which enables
satellite operators to optimally
address any market or application
from a single network. Offered
under this portfolio is the Newtec
MDM2510 IP satellite modem, a
high-throughput satellite (HTS)
modem that supports a wide
range of services including Inter-
net/Intranet access, voice-over-
IP (VoIP), backhauling, mobility,
contribution and multicasting.
Completing Newtec’s showcase
at ConnecTechAsia2018 was the
MCX7000 multi-carrier satellite
gateway. Used for distribution and
contribution broadcast applica-
tions, the MCX7000 multi-carrier
satellite gateway platform is able to
function as a quadruple modulator
or modem with dual demodulator,
while the optional Advanced En-
cryption Standard (AES) encryption
of the baseband frames provides
protection for closed networks.
