[Satellite TODAY 02-23-12] Iraq has deployed several Newtec Multimedia Exchange Network over Satellite (MENOS) TV interactive terminals that will operate within the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) exchange network, Newtec announced Feb. 21.
The terminals will allow Iraqi broadcasters to access their own IP-based and fully automated secure Virtual Network (VN) for contribution and exchange of TV content. Newtec installed the first MENOS multimedia network at ASBU’s Algiers facility in 2008.
ASBU Director General Slaheddine Maaoui said that a VN hosted service would provide Iraq with the same services and benefits as owning a dedicated physical network without having to deploy and operate a complete system.
“We are eager to improve the ability of broadcasters and to give them access to a number of life-line services to contribute content from anywhere in the country. We believe this to be an important way of encouraging a robust media to thrive, resulting in strong regeneration in Iraq. We are sure that this virtual network will vastly improve the capabilities for broadcasters inside Iraq,” Maaoui said in a statement.
