[Satnews] Newtec has announced that Liquid Telecom has selected the Newtec Dialog® multiservice platform to enlarge and improve the company's current VSAT services with more applications and features for current and new customers.
Extending its current relationship with Newtec, Liquid Telecom will use the Newtec Dialog platform to expand its service portfolio towards new markets. The first Newtec VSAT platform with Liquid Telecom became operational in early 2014. Since then, Liquid Telecom has been able to deploy thousands of Newtec VSAT terminals. Liquid Telecom will operate the Newtec Dialog hub alongside its current Newtec Sat3Play® broadband hub, allowing it to expand its current satellite services to more advanced business-to-business applications and deliver reliable cellular backhaul connections for mobile operators throughout Africa.

As a multiservice platform, Newtec Dialog guarantees optimal modulation and bandwidth allocation, whether it is being used for enterprise, consumer broadband, cellular backhaul or mobility in all network. It features Newtec’s patented return link technology Mx-DMA™, which combines the best features of MF-TDMA and SCPC technologies, making Liquid Telecom's VSAT services more bandwidth efficient for larger customers and enabling services to run more efficiently and reliably than before.
