Tuaropaki Communications Limited (Tuaropaki), a satellite service provider based in New Zealand, has launched a broadband network built on iDirect’s Evolution DVB-S2 with Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) product line. Tuaropaki installed an iDirect 5IF Hub in Auckland and will purchase a number of iDirect Evolution satellite routers, along with PCMA devices and XipLink XA30K network accelerators, to support anticipated customer growth over the next three years. With the iDirect platform’s built-in Group Quality of Service and ACM capabilities, Tuaropaki will enhance its Ruralinzone broadband service to deliver attractive data usage plans to existing customers, as well as target new enterprise and government customers. The expanded network will position Tuaropaki to meet the growing capacity needs from its existing customer base, as well as offer carrier-grade satellite service to support in-demand applications such as Internet, IP infrastructure extension, VPN access, video, voice over IP, business continuity, emergency communications, distance education and 3G cellular backhaul. Tuaropaki’s service will integrate bandwidth from three beams on the IPStar and GE-23 satellites.
