As we continue to work to bridge the digital divide, we are proud to announce that Ultrasat/IPG Telecom, a dynamic leader in GPS, VSAT services and wireless location-based software development, has signed a long-term contract with CETel to deliver broadband connectivity into rural areas in the Middle East via the Newtec Dialog® VSAT platform.

Maximum Return on Investment
Installed near Cologne, Germany, the Newtec Dialog multiservice platform will initially provide services to Ultrasat’s/ IPG Telecom’s existing customers, with these including hospitals, banks, e-learning centers and corporate businesses in rural areas in the Middle East.

These clients represent the ideal target market for the Newtec Dialog hub due to the low investment required and the system being ‘Plug’n’Play-ready.’

Ultrasat/ IPG Telecom supports its clients in the field by installing and activating sites and, in the longer-term, intends to grow its client numbers and satellites to provide services in additional vertical markets.

Flexible, Scalable and Efficient
For CETel, a leading provider of global satellite, fiber and wireless-enabled communications solutions, the scalability, flexibility and efficiency Newtec Dialog provides are hard to beat.

The integration and set up was managed flawlessly and, with the support of Newtec’s dedicated engineers, was achieved within a minimal timeframe. The operation of the Newtec Dialog hub is straightforward and our Network Operations Center (NOC) and engineering teams are ready to widen the service to other satellites when required.

It is particularly great to see one project bring together three successful operating companies, with each one providing its expertise and excellence accordingly.

World-class Operations
As of today, the service operates in Ku-Band on the Middle East and Europe beam of SES Satellite NSS-12. Extension of the services to further satellites, for example, for maritime communications, are currently being evaluated.
