PARIS --(Business Wire)--
Regulatory News:
Intrasky, a key satellite service provider in the Middle East and
Africa, has selected Ka-band capacity on the EUTELSAT 8 West C satellite
operated by Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL) and Newtec's (News - Alert) latest
satellite technology to boost its Internet connectivity services in the
Levant area.
Intrasky will occupy a 72 MHz transponder on EUTELSAT 8 West C with a
250Mbps link for a leading ISP in the region that is seeking to
supplement stretched download capacity on fibre and to ensure full
continuity of service. Intrasky has chosen Newtec technology,
specifically the MDM6000 Satellite Modem that achieves high bandwidth
optimisation and manages multiple services including data, video and
Internet access.
Commenting on the project, Naim Aoun, General Manager of Intrasky said: "With
this very competitive solution we are demonstrating how we constantly
seek to provide our clients with the latest technology using very
efficient high throughput satellite capacity. Based on Intrasky's long
experience and this technological combination we have once again taken
up the challenge to implement innovative satellite services and are
forging the way into the region's future satellite business."
Jean-François Leprince-Ringuet Eutelsat (News - Alert) Chief Commercial Officer, added: "The
demand for IP backhaul is increasing year on year, driven by more video
consumption throgh the Internet and a relentless surge in the use of
data services via smartphones. The combination of Eutelsat's Ka-band
capacity and Newtec's technology positions us to offer flexible and
reliable Internet connectivity solutions, challenging the perception
that fibre is the automatic route to highly competitive point-to-point
links."
