Orange also is implementing Newtec\u2019s DVB-S2 FlexACM technology, allowing Orange to maximize the throughput of the existing satellite link at any time.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cWith this new infrastructure implementation, Orange can continue to increase the quality of service and extend the footprint of our operations in the region. Newtec\u2019s Elevation and FlexACM provide a highly efficient and robust platform from which we can deliver state-of-the-art Internet access to our customers in Africa,\u201d Orange Vice President of Network Architecture and Design Alain Maloberti said in a statement. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cThis selection by Orange is a clear proof that our Elevation FlexACM technology is really providing the best solution on the market enabling our customers to optimise bandwidth usage and enabling them to provide a 100 percent link availability,\u201d Serge Van Herck, Newtec CEO, told <em>Satellite TODAY<\/em>. Van Herck thinks Newtec can gain even more traction in the telco market. \u201cThe telco market is an important growth market for Newtec as we have developed several technologies that perfectly fit the requirements of this market. Elevation FlexACM is a perfect solution for the IP trunking market while our Sat3Play solution is a perfect solution for helping to close the digital divide for consumers. In cooperation with SES Astra we have shipped over 80,000 Sat3Play consumer terminals to various ISPs and telcos in Europe over the past two years. Telcos around the world like Deutsche Telekom, TP (Poland), Belgacom, BT, Embratel and many others are relying on Newtec technologies for their critical satellite transmissions,\u201d he said. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For Newtec, the partnership with France Telecom follows another technology deal in the Africa and Middle East region. On Aug. 30, Iraqi satellite broadcaster <strong>Alsumaria<\/strong> announced it would continue its migration toward tapeless news production by using Newtec\u2019s DualFlow and FlexACM technologie. Alsumaria\u2019s fleet can now deliver live transmission of MPEG4 over IP, with the dual capability of switching to ASI when required. Alsumaria staff can also achieve file transfers and downloads between the DSNG units and the production center, increasing speed of response to unfolding events.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Stories-<\/h2>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">Newtec Contributes Technology to Tapeless Broadcast Migration in Iraq<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tAugust 31, 2010<br \/>\n[08-31-10] Iraqi satellite  broadcaster Alsumaria has selected Newtec s DualFlow and FlexACM  technologies to help continue its migration toward tapeless news  production, Newtec announced Aug. 30. <\/p>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">Newtec, First Gulf Awarded Saudi Broadcast Exchange Network Contract<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tAugust 26, 2010<br \/>\n[08-26-10] The Saudi Arabian  Ministry of Culture and Information has contracted Newtec and its  integration partner First Gulf Co. to implement a satellite-based  television and radio exchange network for the Saudi government\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">Newtec Wins U.S. Government FlexACM Order<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tAugust 24, 2010<br \/>\nNewtec has won a multi-million dollar contract  to   provide its FlexACM technology, supporting IP-trunking satellite  links,   to an unnamed government prime contractor in the United States,  the   company announced Aug. 10.
