Satcom for National Security & Intelligence Gathering
The SIGINT (Signal Intelligence)
or COMINT (Communications
Intelligence) applications, and
the monitoring and processing
of satellite traffic, are integral
elements of national security
activities in order to preserve the
political, economical and social
freedoms, rights and values of a
country.
Each bit of intelligence that can anticipate acts of terrorism, international
agreement violations or man-made disasters is critical to protect a
nation and its inhabitants. Intelligence and national security agencies
need to have the best performing equipment with the widest range of
demodulation and decapsulation options to process video, data and
voice traffic over satellite in full detail.
With Newtec, the acquired data remains untouched in the process of
demodulation in order to preserve the integrity of the original content.www.newtec.eu

Application Note Intelligence Gathering
Newtec has a track record of satellite communication equipment
installations within national security and intelligence gathering
applications around the globe. Newtec Satcom receivers are
appreciated by the diverse intelligence agencies due to their
performance, quality and broad spectrum of modulation
standards and options.
Newtec, as global leader in Satcom technology, has over 30
years experience of delivering satellite solutions to markets such
as Broadcast (TV & Radio), VSAT (consumer and enterprise),
IP Trunking, IP Backhaul (voice, data and video) as well as
Government and Defense applications over satellite. This rich
experience is translated in Newtec’s portfolio of Satcom products
and technologies to meet the highest operational requirements
for professional reliability and service availability.
For intelligence gathering, Newtec provides solutions for
both Single Channel per Carrier (SCPC) links as well as VSAT
networks that work independent of satellite constellation or
frequency band.

Fit for Data Gathering
Newtec satcom receivers support the richest variety
of modulation, coding, data rate
and encapsulation methods in the
market.
The Newtec Satcom receivers are typically installed in intelligence
gathering centers. A defined procedure will allow for data
exchanged over satellite to be read out. After the receivers get
the command to lock on a satellite carrier, intelligence gathering
operators can determine the center frequency of the carrier by
using a satellite signal analyzer. The results will allow operators to
check what modulation standard and symbol rate are used in the
satellite carrier. Finally the Base Band frames can be analyzed and
useful intelligence data gathered out of both transport streams
(TS) and generic streams (GS).
During the entire operation, the Newtec receivers will not touch
the integrity of the original content and allow detailed processing
of the acquired intelligence.
Newtec’s product portfolio contains a variety of modulation
and demodulation equipment for standard and proprietary
communication over satellite for data, video and voice supporting
protocols such as DVB-S2X (new DVB standard as from March
2014), DVB-S2, DVB-S, DVB-DSNG, Newtec DVB-S2 Extensions,
MF-TDMA 4CPM, Mx-DMA, Reed Solomon, Viterbi, TPC and
LDPC.
The DVB receivers cover the full spectrum of MODCODs up
to 256APSK (including 32APSK short frames) as well as CCM/
VCM/ACM modes and data rates from 1.2kbps to 425 Mbps.
The MODCODs are combined with a set of encapsulation/
decapsulation methods such as MPE, XPE, GSE, ULE, Base Band
Frame and Data Piping.

Newtec has always been a pioneer in satellite technology
and was at the base of many DVB satellite communication
standards available in the market today. Kick-started by
Newtec, key players in the satellite industry recently called for
a new satellite transmission standard to extend the existing
DVB-S2 standard. The new standard (called DVB-S2X) was
launched in March 2014 and approved by both DVB and
ETSI.
The full implementation of both the DVB-S2X and DVB-S2
standards are already available on Newtec 6000-series
modems and receivers.
Open standards such as DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X allow for
interoperability and avoid vendor lock-in. Today, DVB-S2X
already provides gains of up to 51% when compared with
DVB-S2. The support of Wideband technology adds another
20% to the equation. These gains exceed the results by
proprietary systems in the market.

Getting all the information available out of the satellite
carriers is very important for intelligence gathering agencies.
Small details can provide precious information vital to their
objectives.
In the process of acquisition and demodulation of a satellite
signal the raw data remains untouched as PID-filtering and
data handling activities can be switched off in the Newtec
receivers (no filtering of MAC-addresses).
All 8192 possible PIDs are transparently passed through for
further processing.
The original Transport Streams and Generic Streams are not
modified, maintaining the integrity of the original content.
Newtec receivers also operate in a mode where the complete
carrier is demodulated and have raw Base Band data as
output that can be further processed by intelligent engines.

Newtec has a large base of installed VSAT
systems worldwide. Newtec VSAT broadband
systems are already reaching hundreds of
thousands of consumer households today in
Europe, Africa, North and South America, Middle
East as well as Asia. Other VSAT installations are
used in enterprise, SCADA as well in SME, SOHO
and government and defense networks.
Newtec has two broadband IP platforms in its
VSAT product portfolio.
• The first broadband platform is the Newtec
Sat3Play® VSAT solution which primarily
targets consumer, SME and SOHO Internet
access networks over satellite.
• The second broadband platform is the recently
launched Newtec Dialog® multiservice VSAT
solution. The Newtec Dialog platform mainly
targets enterprise, broadcast, backhaul and
government and defense applications.

The Newtec VSAT platforms typically consist of a hub
infrastructure, remote modems or terminals and a Network
Management System (NMS) that manages the entire satellite
network.
For the forward satellite link from the hub towards the remote,
the DVB-S2 modulation standard with efficiency enhancing
extensions are used (smaller roll-offs, etc.). These can be
intercepted by the Newtec DVB receivers.
The satellite return channel from the remotes to the hub
depend on the Newtec platform in use. Both the Newtec
Dialog and Sat3Play platforms have MF-TDMA 4CPM
technology on board (closely linked to DVB-RCS2). The
Newtec Dialog platform extends the satellite return channel
with SCPC (DVB-S2 with Extensions, Newtec HRC) and
Mx-DMA (Cross-Dimensional Multiple Access) alternatives.
As such, the satellite service provider has the choice between
three different return channels depending on the application,
throughput requirements and service offering.
For the interception of the return channels a combination
of hub, modem and NMS infrastructure is required. As such,
the scheduling, return carrier pools and return capacity
groups typical to MF-TDMA can be simulated to receive the
requested data that can be forwarded for further processing.
