RuSat To Launch A New Satellite Broadband Service

Satellite service provider for enterprise customers, internet service providers, and government agencies in Russia, RuSat, partners with a satellite applications provider, NewTec in launching a new satellite broadband service using Newtec’s latest VSAT hub and end-user terminal technology.

Until last year VSAT services available in Russia are expensive and are available only on limited parts of the country, RuSat, with the help of NewTec’s Yamal-402 (launched last December 08, 2012), is now providing satellite broadband services all over the Russian territory. 

“We have made an extensive market analysis and selected Newtec’s VSAT technology for our new satellite broadband service. We are impressed by the ease of use, the bandwidth efficiency and the price attractiveness of the end-user terminal. This means we can keep our service pricing as low as possible for our customers without jeopardising quality. That is key! Additionally, Newtec has an excellent reputation for equipment reliability and customer service so we are pleased to partner with them,” said Sergey Alymov, General Director of RuSat.

The new technology gathered quite a number of customers including Europe’s most successful satellite broadband service since NewTec started shipping its new high-speed VSAT broadband technology. However, RuSat service will utilise Ku band, the terminals can be easily upgraded later to operate in Ka band by a simple change of Newtec’s interactive LNB and with no hardware adaptation to the satellite modem or the antenna.

“The Russian VSAT broadband market is experiencing a real boost as more capacity becomes available over a wider geographic area. We are proud that we can help RuSat offering market leading satellite broadband services and this at a very competitive price point both for the professional and the consumer market,” added Serge Van Herck, CEO of Newtec.
