The link was established using Newtec’s next-generation satellite IP modulators and modems in combination with its ZN871 bandwidth cancellation units. The test also used Newtec’s Clean Channel technology, bandwidth cancellation and wideband.

   Newtec CEO Serge Van Herck said that the result of the tests would enable the company to continue rolling out next generation technology on the Yahsat Y1A satellite to commercial markets in 2012. Yahsat, a UAE-based satellite operator, selected Newtec technology earlier this year for its upcoming YahCarrier Ka-band IP trunking service.

   “It’s nice to see that Newtec’s rollout of new technologies is going smoothly, breaking down boundaries and securing implementations in real-world scenarios,” Van Herck said in a statement. “As a result, we are talking to our business partners now who are able to bring in new business opportunities as a result of the capabilities Newtec has created for them.”
