Depending on the needs and existing infrastructure, customers may selected between the new iDirect X3 platform, the classic iNFINITI, and the high performing iSCPC platform. The X3 platform, part of iDirect's Evolution Series DVB-S2 technology for data transmission and Internet connectivity, has been implemented and is now operative and can deliver as much as a 30 percent improvement in bandwidth efficiency over DVB-S systems. The addition of ACM to the platform represents a potential additional gain of 50 percent. Both features open new opportunities for atrexx to improve support for a range of IP applications, including Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Voice over IP (VoIP), videoconferencing, enterprise networks, point of sale, SCADA, telemetry, multimedia and Internet cafes.
atrexx will also support, on Telstar 11N, the legacy iDirect iNFINITI platform for existing sites as well as the iSCPC (Single Carrier per Channel on iDirect platform) service for dedicated bandwidth and VoIP. atrexx forecasts high demand for iSCPC, which provides dedicated and direct Internet connectivity to ISPs and telecom operators, with low latency and affordable hardware and service costs. The recently-launched Telstar 11N satellite will provide attractively priced services on Ku-band and boasts excellent coverage over Sub-Saharan Africa with boosted beams over South and West-African regions.
