iDirect To Showcase
DVB-S2/ACM Platform Demo At CABSAT 2008 Conference And
Exhibition
(4 March 2008) iDirect, Inc., a
company of VT Systems Inc (VT Systems) and a world leader in satellite-based IP
communications technology, today announced that it will demonstrate the
capabilities of its Evolution DVB-S2/ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation)
platform at the CABSAT 2008 Conference and Exhibition in
Dubai.
The capabilities of iDirect's Evolution DVB-S2/ACM
platform were recently validated for market release through a series of
commercial tests. Attendees will see a live demonstration of the commercial
version of iDirect's Evolution DVB-S2/ACM platform, which comprises a new line
of DVB-S2/ACM remotes and line cards as well as advanced operating and network
management software.
The commercial launch of the Evolution platform is
highly anticipated as many of the MEA region's top satellite operators and
communications service providers have standardised their operations on
iDirect's technology. As satellite capacity has grown more constrained, the
ability of the iDirect platform to connect to multiple satellites, support any
topology or application and increase bandwidth efficiency has especially
enabled iDirect customers to reduce capital and operating expenses and increase
their business opportunities.
According to Frost & Sullivan, iDirect
has outpaced the industry to become the leading provider of IP-based satellite
networks in the MEA region with a 40 percent market share in hub
sales.
"In the past year, iDirect has significantly strengthened its
presence in the MEA region with a surge in hub sales and the opening of our new
MEA headquarters in Dubai. With the commercial launch of our Evolution
DVB-S2/ACM platform accelerating, we are eager to help our growing network of
partners expand their business." Rash Jhanjee, Regional Vice President for
Middle East and Africa, iDirect.
