Newtec supplies interactive TV terminals to Iraq

Satellite communications technology company Newtec said Iraq has deployed several of its Multimedia Exchange Network over Satellite (MENOS) TV interactive terminals. The terminals will operate within the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) exchange network. This will give broadcasters in Iraq access to their own IP-based and fully automated secure Virtual Network (VN) for contributing and exchanging TV content. The MENOS VN will allow Iraq to expand its network according to its requirements, without the need for major upfront capital investment. Through the VN, MENOS service providers can partition their capacity and allocate such partitions per group of users. Dedicated Service Level Agreements (SLA) are also provided, tailored to the users' specific needs.
