33 TECHNOLOGIES Newtec Mx-DMA Mx-DMA by NEWTEC A patented efficient and dynamic multiple-access scheme which enables operators to share satellite capacity over a group of satellite terminals transmitting to a central location. What Does It Do? The Mx-DMA return technology adjusts the frequency plan transmission parameters for every terminal in the satellite network. Mx-DMA provides the efficiency and performance of SCPC with the dynamic bandwidth allocation capabilities of MF-TDMA. Mx-DMA assigns dedicated SCPC return carriers to each terminal, but dynamically adjusts the symbol rate, MODCOD, power level and center frequency, every second, based on demand and weather conditions. Applications Both fixed rate and variable rate applications, ranging from as low as 32 kbps to 75 Mbps. The VLSNR MODCODs provide support for small antennas and mobile terminals. Advantages Eliminates the difficult choice of having to select either MF-TDMA or SCPC Maximum return efficiencies Dynamic bandwidth allocation on the fly Low jitter and delay Seamless operation with no packet loss Operators no longer need to dimension the return carrier plan Rain margin can be managed per network, instead of per carrier. Mx-DMA dynamically allocates capacity to carriers that need it Gain Compared to SCPC DVB-S2 with 20% roll-off, it provides 50% bandwidth savings or doubles the number of customers per MHz. Compared to MF-TDMA 4CPM, it also provides 50% bandwidth savings. 33

34 DVB-S2X Standard The DVB-S2X waveform is the DVB and ETSI approved standard which was launched in March 2014 as a successor to the DVB-S2 standard. What Does It Do? DVB-S2X offers improved performance and features compared to DVB-S2 for professional applications such as contribution, digital satellite news gathering, DTH, VSAT, trunking, cellular backhaul and mobility. The technologies implemented in DVB-S2X range from lower roll-offs and higher modulation up to 256APSK to adding higher granularity, increasing the standard from 28 to 116 MODCODs. Applications The applications that will adapt quickly to the DVB-S2X standard are mainly trunking, broadcast contribution and exchange, backhauling and professional IP access networks, as well as applications within the government and defense market (ISR, MWR, disaster recovery). These are applications that typically require higher throughput or need better margins to remain profitable. Advantages Optimized for HTS Smaller roll-offs (5%) Advanced filtering Increased granularity in MODCODs Higher modulation schemes of up to 256APSK Wideband support of up to 133/500 Mbaud Gain The efficiency technologies contributed by Newtec to the new DVB standard boost the satellite link up to 20% in DTH networks and 51% in other professional applications when compared to DVB-S2. When adding wideband to the equation, an extra 20% can be added to the total. These gains already exceed the results by proprietary systems available on the market today. 34

35 Newtec Point&Play Point&Play by NEWTEC An innovative and easy-to-use self-installation solution for Newtec VSAT terminals which enables the end-user to accurately position the antenna towards the correct satellite without any support from professionally trained satellite installers. What Does It Do? Point&Play enables the installer (be it a professional installer or the end-user) to easily position the antenna correctly by identifying the satellite and providing feedback on both signal quality and lock. Applications Pointing of Newtec Outdoor Units (ODUs), in combination with Newtec VSAT modems, such as the MDM2000 and MDM3000 series modems. Advantages Lowers the operational cost Differentiates and improves the competitiveness of the service provider Increases market penetration by creating more distribution channels Reduces risk of interference Gain Point&Play enables accurate pointing for non-skilled installers or end-users. 35

36 Newtec FlexACM FlexACM by NEWTEC FlexACM is the innovative and award-winning solution by Newtec for efficient satellite communications. The technology doubles throughput in satellite networks that suffer from variable link conditions both in the forward and return satellite channel. At the same time maximum service availability can be achieved in any fading condition (inclined orbit, weather, dust, interference) to keep mission-critical communications running at all times. What Does It Do? Newtec s unique and market-proven end-to-end solution combines a set of technologies, such as ACM, Thin Margin Manager (ThiMM), Noise and Distortion Estimation (NoDE) and predictive tooling on upcoming variation, to bring the satellite link to full efficiency. Applications Any IP related application over satellite suffering from variable link conditions due to the nature of the satellite (inclined orbit satellite), frequency band (Ka, Ku) or interference (rain fade, sun, shadowing effects). Advantages Doubles throughput Optimal availability Cuts OPEX costs Suitable for inclined orbit satellite operations End-to-end efficiency Proven Return on Investment (RoI) Accommodates a wide range of terminal sizes and business models on the same network Proven technology with a large installed base Gain The gain of FlexACM can range from 30% to 50% depending on the type of traffic and the satellite link conditions. 36

37 Newtec Datacasting Technology Multicast by NEWTEC Newtec datacasting technology (Multicast) allows the efficient distribution of content and media towards single (Unicast) or multiple customers at the same time in an efficient way over a satellite or terrestrial network. What Does It Do? The Newtec Multicast distribution platform provides a reliable distribution of files, directory structures and data streams for various applications. Multicast allows content to be distributed to a large number of recipients with only one single transmission. The reliability of the data/multicasting service is enhanced by the software s partial retransmission capabilities. Applications The Newtec Multicast technology can be used over a wide range of unidirectional and bidirectional communication networks such as satellite connections, cable TV networks, xdsl and Internet. This includes media exchange services for ISR or dissemination of meteorological data. Advantages High transmission reliability High bandwidth efficiency Reduced channel cost Content protection High degree of automation Gain Multicasting and exchanging content towards remote sites and ships with Newtec s Datacasting Software will immediately result in important efficiency and OPEX gains. 37

38 Bandwidth Cancellation (BWC) Bandwidth Cancellation by NEWTEC Bandwidth Cancellation (BWC) is a technology which allows transmission of two carriers into the same leased satellite bandwidth. What Does It Do? At the receive side, the cancellation mechanism will cancel out the modem s own uplink signal in order to be able to demodulate the desired carrier. Applications Bandwidth Cancellation can be used in any point-to-point application, with the main usage in trunks and backhaul circuits. It can also be used to cancel the forward carrier in certain pointto-multipoint applications. Advantages Fast synchronization Easy operation and monitoring Highest spectral efficiency Gain A gain of up to 30% in space capacity can be achieved for symmetrical links. When an existing link is bandwidth limited (not using all available transponder power of the leased bandwidth) gains of up to 100% are possible. This saving enables considerable OPEX savings or deployment expansion by adding services within the same available bandwidth. 38

39 VALUE ADDED APPLICATIONS Newtec Dialog Mobility Manager The Newtec Dialog Mobility Manager is a turnkey solution for managing mobility networks. The Mobility Manager switching policies are configured through a powerful rules-based engine.
