The iDirect Compression and Acceleration Server (CAS) compresses and accelerates static and dynamic data and content in real time by using lossy compression algorithms. This compression process reduces bandwidth requirements for web based applications by 50% on average. Incorporating this solution into an iDirect network will allow service providers to cut bandwidth costs, which will significantly increase your addressable market without impacting the visual quality of web content.

The iDirect approach to implementing the industry leading DVB-S2 started with our belief that there’s a fundamentally better way to deliver this standard to our customers.

iDirect will be introducing a DVB-S2 product line with ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) fully integrated within the entire system architecture for optimized performance.

Our DVB-S2 Development Team dedicated nearly a year in rigorous testing and simulations to find the optimal way to provide the greatest, most consistent bandwidth gains with a straightforward network design and easy upgrade path.

Easy upgrade path leverages existing iDirect Hubs

Higher bandwidth management flexibility
Ease of Use

Network operators face increasingly difficult requirements when it comes to traffic management in a mixed media enviornment that may include voice, video, and data. iDirect's Group QoS provides a comprehensive set of powerful, state of the art features that bring new dimensions and options for traffic prioritization and bandwidth management that spans across multiple applications, multiple remotes, even multiple sub-networks. The customer's experience and quality are improved - and determining the right tiered service levels across the pool of end customers and their applications is easier.

The need for global cellular communication is rapidly increasing as nations industrialize and expand, yet millions of people throughout the world have limited or no access to cellular services. Bringing communications to remote areas of the world presents an opportunity to expand cellular networks and to acquire millions of new customers. The problem lies in the cost of deploying remote cellular systems where limited terrestrial infrastructure exists. Satellite is an obvious means of overcoming geographic constraints; however SCPC or other dedicated satellite links are not cost effective means of backhauling cellular traffic due to the calling patterns of users concentrated to certain hours. iDirect's unique IP based solution allows carriers to share network capacity across multiple locations reducing bandwidth costs and expanding their coverage to regions where it was previously unprofitable.

A combination of AES 256 Bit and FIPS 140-2 encryption with concealed traffic engineering information and x.509 certificate authentication
The first TRANSEC compliant security package in the VSAT industry that meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by the National Security Agency

Secure communications are a requirement for most satellite networks. Certain situations require the absolute highest levels of security that go beyond encryption. iDirect TRANSEC (Transmission Security) communications platform secures VSAT transmissions from interception and exploitation by incorporating encryption inherent in COMSEC; AES 256 Bit and FIPS 140-2, while masking traffic fluctuations and authenticating remote terminals. Through a combination of hardware and software, TRANSEC ensures data blocks are a uniform site, concealing traffic engineering information while incorporating x.509 certificates to authenticate remote terminals. Adversaries that are monitoring a TRANSEC enabled network only see a constant wall of secure data precluding anyone monitoring the network from extracting any usable information.
