Following a successful launch during the Connecting Rural Communities (CRC) Africa 2011 conference in Dar es Salaam on August 25th, 2011, Vizada Networks has announced that high quality, reliable connectivity services from its new iDirect hub in the Tanzanian capital on the SES World Skies NSS12 satellite is now live for customers in Tanzania and the east coast of Africa. “The launch of our new iDirect based services in Tanzania was a successful event, so we are confident that customers will take us up on our new offering of highly reliable and cost effective connectivity,” states Stefano Vittor, CEO of Vizada Networks. “With our new infrastructure in place, we really can offer a level of service and availability not before seen in Tanzania and the East Coast of Africa and believe that businesses and organisations in the region will be keen to try it for themselves.”

The new Viznet Dynamic Africa Ku-band services are primarily aimed at organizations and businesses having branches in the Eastern Africa region who want to directly connect to Dar es Salaam or other major cities. Using iDirect DVB-S2/ACM satellite technology, in addition to Vizada Networks’ proprietary technology, Viznet Dynamic delivers a secure, reliable broadband connection regardless of location or local environment. The new iDirect hub in Tanzania also offers dual redundant connectivity through direct connection to both the SEACOM and EASSy subsea cables.

Vizada Networks uses iDirect’s latest iDX3.0 software at its new hub in Tanzania. iDX3.0 enables service providers to switch any Evolution router back and forth between TDMA and SCPC based on dynamic bandwidth requirements. This provides adaptability to support each application with the most efficient transport technology whilst reducing infrastructure and operating costs. It also enhances visibility into SCPC link performance for overall network efficiency and provides expandability of a core platform to grow business in line with demand.
