NewSat makes breakthrough in IP TV broadcast technology

Mr Ballintine stated that "NewSat is continuing to develop valuable intellectual property and is well advanced in its efforts to stream, manage and deliver content via satellite to users within its worldwide footprint.

The recent trials by NewSat engineers demonstrated the ability to transmit content more efficiently and cheaper than is currently possible. NewSat has the potential to be a first tier provider of IP TV and 'triple play' (video, voice and data) for the commercial market internationally as a result of its latest IP venture".

Paul Seaton, General Manager for NewSat based in Dubai noted,

"Middle East and African markets will include business TV and private video networks. For example production and broadcast of business news content for banks and financial institutions or even sports and entertainment content to hotels and clubs. There are increasing demands for these services, even the opportunity to provide business TV and entertainment in airports, hotels, shopping malls or on transport like trains, ferries and buses. This also presents exciting new advertising and media marketing possibilities for increasingly sophisticated consumers in the region".

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 broadcasting services, NewSat hosts and distributes internet services, and is able to provide network solutions for a wide range of private, commercial and government users. NewSat provides true internet broadband and Voip services on land and sea.
