....OmniAccess S.L., a leading communications provider to super- and mega-yacht owners, has upgraded its global VSAT network with iDirect’s latest operating software, iDX 3.0. By combining SCPC and TDMA operating modes on one platform, iDX 3.0 enables OmniAccess to achieve higher efficiency and greater flexibility in bandwidth allocation during high-use seasons, while reducing overall hardware and operating expenses. OmniAccess has also installed a new iDirect Universal 5IF satellite hub in Singapore. The additional hub extends OmniAccess’ broadband coverage in the Caribbean and throughout South East Asia for super-yacht customers. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.
The OmniAccess BroadBEAM service portfolio offers customers uninterrupted high-speed connectivity for a variety of next-generation, bandwidth-hungry applications such as HD video conferencing, the simultaneous streaming of multiple HDTV channels, corporate VPN access and high-quality voice calls. With iDX3.0’s SCPC Return capability, OmniAccess can support clients who require a high-speed SCPC return link while also maintaining the flexibility to switch back to a TDMA operating mode based on dynamic bandwidth requirements. OmniAccess’ enhanced network efficiency and coverage will allow it to address customer applications more efficiently, while also enabling super-yacht customers to roam between the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Indian Oceans without changing service providers or plans.
