Virginia Tech - ISU / Smithsonian Tap NewCom for Streaming Video Cast of Inka Engineering Expedition Virginia Tech and Iowa State University, working in conjunction with The Smithsonian, are preparing for an "Inka Engineering" summer expedition in the remote, treacherous mountain terrain of Peru. And NewCom has been tapped to provide satellite services and facilitate streaming video cast for the trip. A research team of archeologists, anthropologists and engineers will help students explore how ancient Inka engineers handled hydraulic issues, geotechnical issues and overall construction of the road. Along the way, the team will conduct live video casts using a laptop computer, an antenna and a modem that connects them to the Smithsonian via NewCom's satellite and video conferencing services. The video casts will stream live into the Smithsonian auditorium and be projected on a large screen so museum visitors can experience the expedition. To prepare for the July trip, NewCom has undergone several comprehensive tests with both institutions to ensure the project's success. A team is also undergoing training at NewCom's facilities to understand how to activate the service while on the expedition. "They will literally be following in the footsteps of the Inkas," notes Jaime Munera, Director of Product Development and IT for NewCom. "The road is very wild and rough in places and they will be having llamas carrying the equipment that they will be setting up along the way. It's a very exciting project and we are honored to be a part of it." |

The ash cloud that grounded planes throughout Europe in April and left thousands of business travelers stranded for days has highlighted the need for NewCom's videoconferencing and collaboration services. The advanced videoconferencing and collaboration service gives businesses the technology they need to effectively work and communicate in today's global market, without ever leaving home. The service, available for a low per-session or annual fee, features high voice and video quality even in instances of low bandwidth connections. It also offers real-time collaboration tools - making it easy and affordable to conduct field trainings, collaborate with international staff and meet with far away sales prospects.
NewCom is integrating its satellite backhaul service with the latest interface technology available, providing a cost-effective, integrated solution for GSM operators in need of satellite services to reach remote locations. By integrating its satellite services with Comtech's new CDM 625 modem, NewCom offers GSM operators the flexible interface they need to connect with the various telecom players in the market. In addition to providing coverage to hard-to-reach places, NewCom's fast, easy-to-implement solution is ideal for providing temporary coverage for sporting events and concerts, or for providing communications services to oil or mining companies on a short-term basis.
With the recent activation of the AMOS5-i satellite in England, NewCom now offers extensive satellite C band coverage across Africa. NewCom, which has been a leading provider of satellite services for governments, vertical markets and GSM operators in northwestern and central Africa, now has full reach into eastern Africa and extended coverage throughout the central and southern region.
NewCom has teamed with six major maritime service providers to provide short-term, flexible satellite services to vessels temporarily stationed at docks throughout Latin America and Africa. The maritime service providers - which have their own satellite coverage in Asia and Europe - have turned to NewCom to provide temporary communication coverage when the oil tankers or other working vessels they serve enter ports not covered by their teleports. Along with quick access to its satellite footprints throughout Africa and Latin America, NewCom offers flexible, cost-effective bandwidth options through its iDirect services. Notes NewCom's Dora Mejia, "Whether it's one week or three months they need coverage for, we can provide the flexible, affordable solution they need, eliminating the high costs associated with mobile satellite coverage."
Content providers interested in capitalizing on the world's obsession with soccer can offer their subscribers coverage of the 2010 World Cup that kicks off in South Africa on June 11. NewCom has a direct fiber connection with Aldea Vision, a communications service provider in South Africa, and is providing uplink services to any content provider interested in distributing the content throughout the world.
