VOIP
Developments in IP networking have made voice calls over lower cost IP infrastructure common wherever broadband access is available. More and more users are researching VoIP capability when purchasing a connection to the Internet or simply expanding their private intranet. By combining new advanced satellite technology and VoIP protocols, iDirect Technologies is delivering voice service beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks. This solution is helping carriers meet the communications needs of customers anywhere in the world, efficiently and cost effectively by removing the constraints of traditional networks, and geographic reach.

Rural Telephony
Residents and businesses in rural areas commonly have no access to broadband communications. Subscribers in these rural areas have requirements from basic dial tone to broadband access, which are simply not being met. Due to remote location, difficult terrain, hostile environment, or wide disbursement of customers, laying copper or fiber may not be a cost effective solution to deliver connectivity. These customers need a flexible, reliable solution that can cost effectively meet their communications needs now and in the future. The iDirect broadband satellite access solution allows users anywhere to bypass the need for last mile connectivity through landline connections without sacrificing their communications functionality. The iDirect solution has the flexibility to cost effectively meet any customer requirements from basic dial tone, to advanced broadband network solutions.

Virtual Network Operator
Virtual networks offer all the opportunity of the satellite industry without assuming the risk, or the upfront investment of deploying a separate network. And, since VNOs can start with as little as a single line card, they have the ability to deploy exactly the network bandwidth for their initial business case, with the flexibility to expand as much as the markets demand.The VNO model allows new operators to develop niche opportunities worldwide, and provides them with state of the art network management tools, security and functionality to deliver the applications customers need.

GSM Backhaul
The need for global cellular communication is rapidly increasing as nations industrialize and expand, yet millions of people throughout the world have limited or no access to cellular services. Bringing communications to remote areas of the world presents an opportunity to expand cellular networks and to acquire millions of new customers. The problem lies in the cost of deploying remote cellular systems where limited terrestrial infrastructure exists. Satellite is an obvious means of overcoming geographic constraints; however SCPC or other dedicated satellite links are not cost effective means of backhauling cellular traffic due to the calling patterns of users concentrated to certain hours. iDirect's unique IP based solution allows carriers to share network capacity across multiple locations reducing bandwidth costs and expanding their coverage to regions where it was previously unprofitable.
