Newtec has signed an important deal with leading satellite-based Internet provider InSat to supply and install Sat3Play hub and terminal technology delivering next generation Ka-band communications over Afghanistan.
InSat plans to provide three distinct services for Afghan telecom providers based on Newtec’s Sat3Play technology: IP Trunking service for large companies and government agencies, VSAT services for small and medium companies and broadband IP access services for consumers under its brand name hi-stream.
InSat CEO Valentine Gurinovich said Newtec was selected because of its history of providing cutting-edge, reliable technology and high quality of customer service.
InSat will be implementing the Newtec technology on Avanti’s Ka-Band satellite HYLAS 2 which is on track for a June 2012 delivery date. HYLAS 2 is a bi-directional Ka-Band satellite with 24 spot beams across the Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa and Europe.
