[Satellite Today 10-21-08] Nynex Network Solutions, a satellite network operator headquartered in Germany, has launched a DVB-S2 network with adaptive coding and modulation based on iDirect’s Evolution product line.
    According to iDirect, the network will enable Nynex to deliver bandwidth efficiency to current and prospective customers throughout the Middle East, supporting enterprise-class applications such as Voice Over IP and high-speed access to virtual private networks.
