NewCom International… Globally Speaking (SATCOM)

[SatNews] NewCom International, a global communications company specializing in the transport of video, voice and data via satellite, has unveiled a suite of value-added services over the past year to provide turnkey, one-stop solutions for the governments, institutions and private-sector businesses it serves.

The services, which include VideoMeetings, IPTV Services, and SatFAX, ensure rural communities are connected to the world through 21st century communications that promote education, medical advancements and economic growth. The applications for NewCom’s turnkey communications solutions are endless. Last year, NewCom helped bring voice and high-speed Internet services to more than 1,000 rural locations throughout Colombia — bringing global communications access to schools, hospitals, government offices and businesses, and making it possible for families to instantly communicate with loved ones they had been cut off from for years. NewCom recently partnered with the Smithsonian and a team of engineers from Virginia Tech and Iowa State University to live videocast a historic Inka Engineering expedition from the remote, treacherous Andean mountains of Peru. The broadcast was transmitted to a large auditorium screen at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. The company has also facilitated various telemedicine projects, including one currently being launched at a hospital in Haiti that will enable medical staff to consult face-to-face with top medical experts around the globe. In addition, NewCom has teamed with several university campuses to launch interactive virtual classes, and has made it possible for businesses to establish world-class communications centers amid remote jungles or on oil rigs and ships far out in the ocean.
