[01-25-12] NovelSat<\/b> has conducted independent live testing of its NS3 3G-Sat modulation technology to confirm that broadcasting data via satellite can be accomplished at the same cost of fiber, the company announced Jan. 24.<\/p>\n
The testing was conducted in collaboration with satellite operator SES<\/b> and U.K. data services provider Satellite Mediaport Services (SMS)<\/b>. NovelSat said its team ran tests over three different SES satellites \u2013 NSS-703, NSS-5 and NSS-10.
\n NS3 inclined orbit satellite tests were administered over NSS-703 to show a 61 percent data rate increase on a 72 MHz transponder. The NSS-5 power limited satellite tests showed up to 49 percent higher data rate over its current satellite space segment utilization. \u201cOur NS3-enabled NS1000 modulator and NS2000 demodulator allowed the SMS teleport to move into a higher constellation than it was capable of while using top-of-the-line DVB-S2 devices,\u201d NovelSat said in a company statement.
\n The company added that the NSS-10 satellite saw similar results as NSS-5 when NS3 devices were enabled. \u201cNS3 again allowed the teleport to move to a higher constellation and provide up to 55 percent higher data rate over current satellite space segment utilization, which uses top-of-the-line DVB-S2 devices,\u201d NovelSat said.
\n SES Vice President of Sales for Europe and Central Asia Simon Gatty-Saunt endorsed Novelsat\u2019s NS3 technology and said that the operator is searching for innovations to enhance its level of service. \u201cNovelsat\u2019s NS3 satellite modulation technology definitively falls into that [service enhancement] category by bringing fiber level costs to satellite broadcasting for the first time, while retaining the inherent value of satellite communications,\u201d Gatty-Saunt said in a statement.
\n SMS Founder and CEO Zvi Golod also praised the NS3 modulation solution\u2019s performance during testing. \u201cFor our customers this is a dream come true. For the first time in our industry we are able to offer data services over satellite for a lower rate than fiber, which will revolutionize communication cost from Europe to emerging markets.\u201d said Mr. Golod, CEO and founder of Satellite Mediaport Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
