Advantech Wireless, has successfully completed delivery a DVB-RCS MiniHubTM for NewCom International of Miami, a leader in the global transport of communications via satellite. To meet NewCom’s demand for broadband services in Latin America (LATAM), they selected Advantech Wireless’ DVB-RCS MiniHubTM for its optimized performance. The order also includes Training, Maintenance and Support Services. The hub is installed at NewCom’s teleport facilities in Miami, Fl.

 

The MiniHubTM is supplied with the complete suite of available advanced features such as TCP Acceleration, DVBS2

ACM operation and Advantech Wireless’ Optimized QoS capability to allow maximum bandwidth efficiency even

in ACM mode of operation. Also included is Advantech’s industry leading Connection Control Protocol (CCP) which

has been designed for the most efficient handling of VoIP calls. Satellite bandwidth is assigned dynamically for the

duration of a voice call relinquishing the necessity of dedicating pre-assigned bandwidth for voice calls. The Hub

inbound carriers are handled by Advantech Wireless’ renowned single card MultiCarrier Demodulator (MCD) which

supports up to 96 simultaneous carriers with varying symbol rates.

ways to ensure we offer the best possible service and quality,” notes Dickinson. “The DVB-RCS

MiniHub™ Advantech Wireless offers is a comprehensive package that gives us a lot of versatility and flexibility in

terms of the satellite configurations we are able to provide.”
