M7 Group’s European Broadcasts Improve with Newtec’s Award Winning Satellite Gateway

May 23, 2017


The award-winning MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway selected by the M7 Group, comes with the latest transmission standard DVB-S2X on board.

M7 Group has made broadcasts more enjoyable for their European viewers with Newtec's award-winning MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway. M7 Group boosts broadcast efficiency with Newtec ensuring high video quality for its European viewers via Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH’s uplink in Usingen, Germany, for its new European Direct-to-Home (DTH) transmission sites.

Award-winning Newtec MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway will further improve M7 Group’s broadcasts ensuring high video quality for European viewers via Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH’s uplink in Usingen, Germany.

The award-winning MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway selected by the M7 Group, comes with the latest transmission standard DVB-S2X on board, and Newtec’s efficiency improvement technologies, enabling M7 Group to save bandwidth and the MCX7000 saves power and rack space. With this expanding efficiency M7 Group’s existing capacity enables the media company to add more channels in improved quality on the same satellite transponders. Viewers receiving content via Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH’s uplink in Usingen, Germany, will benefit from the new platform which is due to be installed later this year.

Ron Paans, Technical Director at M7 Group remarked that Newtec’s broadcast equipment has provided them with a proven reliable and cost-effective solution for their network. They operate a number of brands across Europe so it is crucial they deliver uninterrupted content to viewers in high quality and they are confident the Newtec MCX7000 will enable them to do this, while also bringing important bandwidth savings without impacting quality. 

The deployment of the MCX7000s strengthens the long-standing partnership between Newtec and the M7 Group, which previously also upgraded its installed base with several Newtec M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulators including the Newtec Equalink® pre-distortion technology and Clean Channel Technology®.

Newtec’s Regional Sales Director, Europe, Thomas Eggenweiler concluded that the M7 Group has been a long-standing partner for Newtec, always working with them at the forefront of innovation to deliver high-quality content services to their customers. By choosing the Newtec Satcom technology, the M7 Group can be confident that it has a solution which will not only meet its needs today but also in the future.
