MUMBAI: Intelsat can now deliver greater
value to customers through the availability of Turbo Product Coding
for use with selected pre-engineered bandwidth solutions targeted
at Internet service providers, carriers and corporate network customers,
the company has announced.
Turbo Product Coding, one of the most advanced forward error-correction
(FEC) coding improvements available for satellite modems, such as
the Comtech EF Data CDM-600, reduces the amount of power required
for antennas to transmit signals to a satellite while maintaining
high error correction performance. As a result, customers can use
smaller, less expensive antennas, thereby enabling voice, data and
Internet applications to be supported more cost-effectively.
"By combining our new high-power IX series satellites and Turbo Product
Coding technology, we are significantly reducing costs for customers
while maintaining the quality they have come to know from Intelsat's
services," said John Stanton, President, Carrier, Data and Internet
Business Unit. "These services are ideal for thin to medium routes
(64 kbit/s to 8 Mbit/s) that are under-served terrestrially. It will
not only benefit our largest customers, but also emerging carriers,
ISPs and corporate service providers by providing high-quality services
supported by low-cost customer premises equipment."
Intelsat and Comtech EF Data are working together to provide various
Turbo Product Coding promotions to customers. As part of this introduction,
the companies are, for a limited time and subject to terms and conditions,
offering customers special incentive credits that can be applied to
a new Comtech EF Data CDM-600 modem equipped with Turbo Product Coding.
