iDirect… A Solution + Two Activities…. (Analysis | Report | Events)

April 24, 2013

[SatNews] The checklist for a smart grid network is lengthy—low latency, high reliability, and strong security.

However, what network solution can also deliver cost effective, high-bandwidth capabilities to your entire service area? Separate the myth from reality for smart grid solutions. In a report from iDirect, “Demystifying Satellite Communications for the Smart Grid,” you’ll learn how satellite can meet the need for reliability, latency, security, and affordability—while supporting core communications services. Download this report and discover:

  • How to deliver up to 99.99 percent network availability using satellite—comparable to fiber-based networks
  • How to support virtually all core utility applications with satellite, including low latency SCADA services, substation and distribution automation, and AMI backhaul
  • How to meet new security regulations and centrally control substations with satellite, which supports private networks, AES encryption and enhanced security
  • How iDirect offers cost effective solution options, including plans for owning, operating and managing your own private network, or outsourcing, to a qualified third party
Get the facts on smart grid network options—plus learn how satellite can provide a cost effective, secure, and reliable way to deliver core utilities applications to the entire service area. Download the report at this direct link.

Then, VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of VT Systems, Inc. (VT Systems), will host its third annual…

…Global Partner Summit from May 6-8, 2013, at the Grand Hyatt in Istanbul, Turkey. The annual event draws satellite industry leaders from around the world to share the latest market insights and discuss business opportunities. This event will focus on industry trends and best practices for partners, based on using iDirect’s platform to expand their businesses with today’s ever-growing market opportunities. Speakers at the Summit will discuss future technology innovations, which includes the 2013 product strategy roadmap, innovations to iDirect’s Evolution® platform, a new complementary product line, and a look at its next-generation Network Management System. Key industry leaders from around the world have been invited to speak in a “Partner Perspectives” panel, where they will share their knowledge and growth strategies, as well as discuss how iDirect’s technology is used within key verticals such as Oil and Gas, Maritime, Education, Government and Cellular Backhaul.

The previous event is then followed by VSAT 2013 Latin America.

Join iDirect from July 2-3 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at VSAT 2013 Latin America at the Grand Hyatt. VSAT 2013 Latin America kick off its first year co-located with Broadband Latin America 2013, Critical Communications Latin America 2013 and TV Connect Latin America 2013. The four events are combined under one roof.
