NewSat launches iDirect in the Middle East and Africa

The introduction of iDirect effectively doubles the company's ability to deliver satellite broadband to global markets.

NewSat's reliability, high quality and efficient services have helped it become one of the world's fastest growing satellite communications service providers.

The Middle East and African regions remain key markets in their successful strategy with services also offered in Australia, Asia, Pacific and European regions.

In addition to hosting and distributing internet services, NewSat is able to provide network solutions for a wide range of private, commercial and government users. NewSat provides true internet broadband on land and sea and is also receiving strong demand for its popular VoIP services.

NewSat is part of the Australian publicly listed company, Multiemedia (ASX: MUL) and has close to 20 years leadership experience in the industry.

Multiemedia's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Adrian Ballintine is excited by the new introduction of services and notes that "it's a landmark for all parties involved. NewSat has been the first choice for customers looking for a solution in this rapidly growing region, and our re-sellers and distributors join in our excitement".

NewSat's General Manger - Middle East/Africa, Paul Seaton added that "the decision to offer this service was made easy with requests from our re-sellers and partners seeking iDirect from a company they know they can trust. Customers can now choose between the best of both worlds with ViaSat for Digital Video Broadcast, Multicast, IP TV and media content, and iDirect for wireless broadband access points."
