Newtec satellite modem honored by Satellite Markets and Research Vision Awards

The Satellite Markets and Research Vision Awards recently gave its Most Innovative Product Award to the new generation Newtec MDM6000 Satellite Modem for setting a new world speed record earlier this 2012 using S2 Extensions-based technologies.

Slava Frayter, VP for Newtec Americas, accepted the award on behalf of the Company at the SMRV Awards reception during SATCON 2012 at New York City on November 14, 2012.


The newest addition to the Newtec modem portfolio, the MDM6000 Satellite Modem debuted back in September 2012. It can handle all IP applications and any speeds, and supports data rates of up to 380Mbps in each direction.

In addition to being compatible with the upcoming S2 Extensions, the MDM6000 modem also fully complies with the DVB-S2 standard. This is because Newtec went ahead and gathered other DVB-members to form a team that defined and updated the DVB-S2 standard.

The Newtec-led team effort created smaller roll-offs, advanced filtering, a wider array of improved MODCODs, FEC upgrades, 72 Mbaud wideband support, and other new DVB-standard satellite transmission technologies that are used by the MDM6000 Satellite Modem. These new efficiency technologies are up to 20% better compared to DVB-S2 when enhancing the satellite link in DTH networks and 64 percent to other professional applications. These gains are greater than the ones achieved by currently-available proprietary systems.
