iDirect Tech And Globecomm Systems Deploy A GSM Capable VSAT Hub
Herndon VA (SPX) Jan 17, 2006 iDirect Technologies, a division of Vision Technologies Systems, and Globecomm Systems, Monday announced their first hub intended specifically to support GSM networks over satellite. The new VSAT hub will support multiple shared networks delivering GSM service throughout the EMEA region. iDirect designs, develops, and markets the fastest, most reliable bi-directional satellite-based broadband IP solutions while Globecomm is a global provider of end-to-end value-added satellite-based communications solutions. By utilizing broadband IP satellite access with the Globecomm/iDirect solution, cellular network operators can backhaul GSM Abis traffic from anywhere. This includes even the most remote locations and the harshest environments. More importantly, it offers an economical option without sacrificing the speed or quality that the cellular industry demands. For start-up carriers, Globecomm can also provide a hosted switch service that handles all switching and generates billing data for the carrier. Globecomm's hosted offering eliminates the need for start-ups to invest in their own in- country switching facilities, replacing capital investment with a monthly service fee. "GSM backhaul is an ideal application for our platform, and a great opportunity for iDirect. The iDirect platform delivers a fully shared network topology, allowing unbeatable network efficiency and bandwidth reduction as network demands and traffic patterns are groomed across multiple base stations throughout a wide geographic footprint." "Globecomm looks forward to expanding our service offering to support cellular networks in the region. We feel there is a great opportunity in this market, and Globecomm is uniquely situated to support cellular service providers."
