Newtec has launched ‘Point&Play’, a new capability added to the method by which satellite broadband access terminals are installed.This is part of Newtec’s triple play system, Sat3Play, and is aimed at increasing value for operators, service providers and installers, as well as the end user. ‘Point&Play’ involves an antenna pointing tool, combined with advanced satellite modem software, which allows the installer, be it a professional installer or the end user, to easily position the antenna correctly. This product does not require any computer pointing software, provides correct satellite identification and gives feedback on both signal quality and correct satellite lock. ’Point&Play’ allows satellite companies and internet service providers to rethink their business models and cost structures. With no cost for installation, other avenues of business can be investigated.
