Developments in IP networking have made voice calls over lower cost IP infrastructure common wherever broadband access is available. More and more users are researching VoIP capability when purchasing a connection to the Internet or simply expanding their private intranet. By combining new advanced satellite technology and VoIP protocols, iDirect Technologies is delivering voice service beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks. This solution is helping carriers meet the communications needs of customers anywhere in the world, efficiently and cost effectively by removing the constraints of traditional networks, and geographic reach.

Consumers, enterprises and other organizations rely on more bandwidth intensive applications today than ever before. Supporting these broadband needs means meeting new challenges, particularly geographic constraints, and integration with existing platforms. To insure networks meet all user needs, regardless of location or application requirements, they need to combine broadband speeds, easy integration, and advanced network management. iDirect Technologies supports the highest TCP/IP throughput in the satellite industry, with speeds up to 18 Mbps downstream and 4 Mbps upstream. This combined with the bandwidth efficiency and the inherent flexibility of the iDirect platform provides users with all the functionality of traditional broadband networks beyond any geographic constraint.

Residents and businesses in rural areas commonly have no access to broadband communications. Subscribers in these rural areas have requirements from basic dial tone to broadband access, which are simply not being met. Due to remote location, difficult terrain, hostile environment, or wide disbursement of customers, laying copper or fiber may not be a cost effective solution to deliver connectivity. These customers need a flexible, reliable solution that can cost effectively meet their communications needs now and in the future. The iDirect broadband satellite access solution allows users anywhere to bypass the need for last mile connectivity through landline connections without sacrificing their communications functionality. The iDirect solution has the flexibility to cost effectively meet any customer requirements from basic dial tone, to advanced broadband network solutions.

Virtual networks offer all the opportunity of the satellite industry without assuming the risk, or the upfront investment of deploying a separate network. And, since VNOs can start with as little as a single line card, they have the ability to deploy exactly the network bandwidth for their initial business case, with the flexibility to expand as much as the markets demand. The VNO model allows new operators to develop niche opportunities worldwide, and provides them with state of the art network management tools, security and functionality to deliver the applications customers need.
