iDirect Directs Three New Products For Unveiling At IBC

iDirect, Inc., a company of Vision Technologies Systems [VT Systems], has three innovations on display at the IBC 2007 Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam. First up is their Series 12000 universal 4-slot hub. This compact 4-slot hub chassis delivers functionality comparable to iDirect’s larger hub solutions, such as integrated IP (Internet Protocol) routing, TCP/IP acceleration, encryption and Group QoS (Quality of Service). The new hub supports multiple inbound and outbound networks on up to four satellites with a fifth slot that can be used for configuration or redundancy. The entire array of network topologies are supported, including star, mesh, SCPC (Single Channel Per Carrier) with outbounds up to 18 Mbps (Time-Division Multiplexing) and up to 140 Mbps (DVB-S2/ACM) per line card.




Then we have the Fusion Series e2000 integrated remote, the industry’s first “single-box” VSAT solution that combines a BUC, LNB, modem and IP satellite router into a low-cost, easy-to-install outdoor unit. The Fusion Series e2000 enables users to expand their networks affordably and support an array of applications from basic Internet and VoIP connectivity to more complex requirements such as secure data transfers and video applications. The Fusion Series e2000 integrated remote supports bandwidth rates of up to 18 Mbps (TDM) or 140 Mbps (DVB-S2/ACM) in the outbound and up to 6.9 Mbps in the inbound (D-TDMA).




The third intro is their eVolution DVB-S2/ACM, iDirect’s nextgen DVB-S2/ACM satellite platform built on the DVB-S2 standard with ACM engineered into the product architecture. It can deliver bandwidth efficiency gains of greater than 50 percent over the previous non-ACM DVB-S standard by enabling each individual remote to operate at the most efficient coding and modulation scheme dependent upon its location within the satellite contour, antenna size and current weather conditions—Herndon, Virginia
