Yahsat, has announced that it is to implement Newtec’s FlexACM® technology for its high-speed, Ka-band IP trunking service

The new agreement will support the UAE-based satellite operator’s new business service, YahCarrier, which is set to be the region’s first Ka-band IP trunking service. YahCarrier will provide telecommunication carriers, ISPs and corporate network service providers across the Middle East, Africa and South West Asia, with reliable, cost-effective, ‘always on’ solutions for backhauling local internet data from underserved and un-served locations to the Internet.

Newtec will support YahCarrier by enabling the highest service availability and speed by installing its hubs and terminals on each side of the satellite link powered by FlexACM, Newtec’s unique end-to-end solution. The service combines a range of cutting edge technologies to optimise IP satellite links in the most efficient way; reducing operational costs and increasing business profitability. FlexACM is available on the Elevation family of Newtec’s professional equipment.

“Yahsat will utilise the full set of FlexACM enabled Newtec Elevation products, including IP modulators, IP demodulators and IP modems, as well as a range of IP appliances that provide state-of-the-art traffic enhancement, compression and protection capabilities for IP services,” said Serge van Herck, CEO of Newtec. “Together, these will ensure the maximum efficiency and throughput at optimal availability for Yahsat on its new Ka-band satellite.”

Yahsat’s coverage extends over more than 140 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South West Asia. The Y1B satellite, which is set to launch in April 2012, will include a multi spot-beam Ka-band payload, designed specifically to support broadband access networks. Ka-band spot beam satellites re-use frequencies to maximise spectrum efficiency for more network capacity.

“Ka-band technology is set to make realistic and tangible improvements for Yahsat customers as the cost of throughput is reduced dramatically,” said Yahsat CEO, Tareq Abdul Raheem Al Hosani. “We are working with Newtec to further maximise efficiency and quality of service to enable the best possible services to our clients.”
