14 June 2012 -Newtec has ushered in a new era of bandwidth efficiency by breaking the magical 0.5 Gbps two way throughput over a 72 MHz transponder on a Eutelsat satellite.
Testing was performed at Eutelsat’s teleport in Rambouillet during the night in order not to disturb crucial daytime sport transmissions. A significant margin was taken in cloud cover conditions to ensure the tests were relevant for real-life high availability services in broadcast and telecom markets.
