Satcom Services offers the new iDirect Technologies iNFINITI Series(TM) of Broadband Internet Protocol Satellite Networking Products. This New Platform Allows iDirect Powered Networks to Scale to Multiple Thousands of Sites
iDirect Technologies
develops, and markets the fastest, most reliable bi-directional satellite-based
broadband access solutions has broadened their product offering to better
support their customers and the industry. The iDirect iNFINITI series™
product line includes the
3000, 5000
and 7000 series
of remote VSAT routers supporting different levels of user requirements as
well as a family of line cards enabling network operators to support SCPC,
Mesh and Star networks to multiple satellites all from a single hub chassis.
The hub solutions built from the iDirect iNFINITI series™ platform will
allow for scalability to multiple thousands of remote sites. To manage the
entire network, operators will be able to use the iDirect scalable Network
Management System (NMS) architecture to support global network customers with
a single NMS for worldwide 
implementation.
With the new 3000, 5000 and 7000 lines of remote VSAT routers based on the iDirect iNFINITI series™ platform, we will be able to offer the flexible and efficient networking over satellite functionality we are known for, to a much wider base of customers.
The new lines of remote routers offer different levels of functionality and security at varying price points. Customers will be able to get the exact networking solution they need for their specific requirements. On the other side of the satellite, the iDirect iNFINITI series™ of hub routers allows operators to create networks that can scale to thousands of sites, support multiple topologies, communicate with multiple satellites from a single chassis, all while being managed under a single iDirect network management system. This ability to standardize on a single platform to support all your satellite networking needs will result in lower capital and operating expenditures, and greater bandwidth efficiency all while offering increased functionality.
The iDirect iNFINITI series™ line of remote routers includes a low cost model optimized for Internet protocol (IP) transfer (iDirect 3000 series), an enterprise class router designed to support business critical applications including VoIP and Video (iDirect 5000 series), and a high end solution offering full encryption and a PCI expansion slot for even greater flexibility (iDirect 7000 series). On the hub router side, iDirect is rolling out a series of interoperable line cards designed to support greater network functionality in a single hub chassis, and virtually unlimited bandwidth when multiple chassis are networked together.
For Enterprise Customers
The ability to deliver broadband access to all your facilities is a critical component in your organization's productivity and efficiency. At iDirect Technologies, however, we understand that unless your remote access can also support all of your organizations business critical applications, it’s only doing half the job. That’s why iDirect’s remote technology provides the networking power you need to support all your user applications, and meet any communications challenge via satellite. The NetModem was developed to include all the functionality customers need:
Broadband Access – iDirect Technologies supports the highest TCP/IP throughputs in the industry, with speeds up to 18 Mbps downstream and 4.2 Mbps upstream. And, since iDirect supported networks can be configured in 1Kbps increments, users can get exactly the bandwidth they need in the most cost effective manner.
Application Support - Deploy any HTTP application, and simultaneously support data, voice and video to multiple locations while guaranteeing the delivery quality. Remote locations will have the same capabilities as offices on landline broadband networks.
Centralized NMS System - Manage all your remote units from a central location. The iDirect Network Management System (NMS) provides all essential monitor and control operations from a centrally located Network Operations Center (NOC).
Increased Bandwidth Efficiency - Support more applications and carry more traffic over your available bandwidth. Our Deterministic TDMA network architecture (D-TDMA) algorithm allocates bandwidth among multiple remote sites, based on criteria such as the queued depth at each remote site, the CIR (Committed Information Rate) configuration, Quality of Service (QOS) and prioritization requirements.
Support Real Time Applications – Deploy applications like voice and video with the most flexible and granular Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities in the industry. You can automatically identify, classify and prioritize data traffic across the network to provide flexible service and application options to customers.
Capacity Optimization - With 1.2 Carrier Spacing we deliver 14% savings in bandwidth, through more efficient use of your transponder capacity. In addition, by using a native IP solution you save 10-50% capacity compared with inefficient MPEG Encapsulation.
Security - Remote locations no longer need to sacrifice functionality for security. The iDirect solution enables the deployment of government or corporate approved VPN solutions over satellite networks without loss of either TCP performance or support for real-time applications such as VoIP and streaming video.
