NovelSat is an Israeli technology company founded in 2007 by Itzik Wulkan and Nir Barkan, specializing in next-generation content connectivity solutions. The company is headquartered in Ra'anana, Israel, and provides solutions for broadcast, broadband, mobile, government, and mobility markets. Wulkan brought over three decades of telecom industry experience to the venture, while Barkan holds an MBA in Strategy and Entrepreneurship and a B.SC in Electronics and Electricity.
The company's core offerings revolve around enhancing the performance, efficiency, and security of data and video delivery over satellite and terrestrial networks. Its product portfolio includes software-defined satellite modems, modulators, and demodulators that support various industry standards like DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X, alongside its proprietary, highly efficient NovelSat NS4 waveform. These products are designed to be scalable, with transmission solutions ranging from 64Kbps to 850Mbps on a single modem. NovelSat also provides integrated video solutions and advanced content security, such as the BISS-CA encryption and AES 256-bit encryption, to protect against piracy and unauthorized access.
NovelSat serves a global client base, including broadcasters, satellite operators, telecom providers, and government organizations, with deployments in over 150 countries. Key milestones include the introduction of the NS3 waveform in 2011, which offered significantly more throughput than the DVB-S2 standard at the time. In February 2023, the company entered a venture with Guident to develop a remote monitoring and control system for autonomous vehicles. A major achievement was the 2023 deployment of its BISS-CA encryption technology to a media distribution network with over 1,000 headends. In January 2025, NovelSat announced a merger with Ayecka Communication Systems, creating a combined entity focused on space connectivity solutions for broadcast, defense, and IoT markets.
