VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect) has announced TELECOMUNICACIONES BANTEL (BANTEL) has installed a network of iDirect Series 3000 Remote Satellite Routers, enabling Corporacion Digitel (Digitel) to expand cellular access within Venezuela by backhauling GSM traffic over satellite. BANTEL, a leading service provider in Venezuela, installed the new network on its existing iDirect Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub. Digitel, the leading cellular operator in Venezuela, will leverage the network to extend the reach of its voice and data services and bolster capacity for existing customers. The iDirect solution lowers bandwidth requirements and guarantees voice quality through advanced traffic optimization capabilities. Service providers can pool bandwidth across multiple sites on a shared IP Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) network and allocate it to each Base Tower System (BTS) based on its immediate bandwidth requirements. For Digitel, the iDirect network will serve as an alternative to microwave backhaul systems that require greater operating and capital investments.
