IDirect Launches New Broadband IDirect Infiniti Series
Herndon VA (SPX) Oct 28, 2004 iDirect Technologies last Tuesday (October 26) announced at the 2004 SatCon Exhibit and Conference in the Jacob Javits Center in New York that they are broadening their product offering to better support their customers and the industry. The iDirect Infiniti series product line includes the 3000, 5000 and 7000 series of remote VSAT routers supporting different levels of user requirements as well as a family of line cards enabling network operators to support SCPC, Mesh and Star networks to multiple satellites all from a single hub chassis. The hub solutions built from the iDirect Infiniti series platform will allow for scalability to multiple thousands of remote sites. To manage the entire network, operators will be able to use the iDirect scalable Network Management System (NMS) architecture to support global network customers with a single NMS for worldwide implementation. "This is a real milestone for iDirect and the industry," said John Kealey, president and CEO of iDirect Technologies. "With the new 3000, 5000 and 7000 lines of remote VSAT routers based on the iDirect Infiniti series platform, we will be able to offer the flexible and efficient networking over satellite functionality we are known for, to a much wider base of customers." "The new lines of remote routers offer different levels of functionality and security at varying price points. Customers will be able to get the exact networking solution they need for their specific requirements." "On the other side of the satellite, the iDirect Infiniti series of hub routers allows operators to create networks that can scale to thousands of sites, support multiple topologies, communicate with multiple satellites from a single chassis, all while being managed under a single iDirect network management system." "This ability to standardize on a single platform to support all your satellite networking needs will result in lower capital and operating expenditures, and greater bandwidth efficiency all while offering increased functionality." The iDirect Infiniti series line of remote routers includes a low cost model optimized for Internet protocol (IP) transfer (iDirect 3000 series), an enterprise class router designed to support business critical applications including VoIP and Video (iDirect 5000 series), and a high end solution offering full encryption and a PCI expansion slot for even greater flexibility (iDirect 7000 series). On the hub router side, iDirect is rolling out a series of interoperable line cards designed to support greater network functionality in a single hub chassis, and virtually unlimited bandwidth when multiple chassis are networked together.
