...has upgraded its satellite network with iDirect’s iDX 3.1 release, which includes software and hardware features specifically designed for large-scale networks. Through iDX 3.1, Orbitnet is able to make its service more efficient and cost-effective, helping the company attract new customers and expand its operations.

iDX 3.1 provides Orbitnet an ideal solution to grow its Internet service offering in Mongolia, Bhutan and throughout the APAC region. With more than 500 remote sites providing Internet connectivity to users in a range of markets, including banking, telecommunications, mining, and education, Orbitnet required a VSAT solution that was flexible enough to support multiple applications, while also offering the ability to scale affordably. By upgrading to iDirect’s iDX 3.1 software, Orbitnet has enhanced its service further by reducing customer start-up costs and improving data throughput. Additionally, iDX 3.1 allows Orbitnet to scale its business more profitably at both the remote site, through iDirect’s new lower-cost Evolution X1 series of remotes, and at the hub site, with a new 16-channel narrowband inbound configuration for the Evolution XLC-M line card.
