[SatNews] Satellite infrastructure and training services are quite important for civil defense agencies.

In fact, so much so that VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of VT Systems Inc. (VT Systems) has revealed that Vizada Networks was recently awarded a contract by a large civil defense agency to provide such services. Vizada Networks has just completed installation of an iDirect hub at the agency's headquarters and trained the agency's engineers to install iDirect remotes at each of its outposts. By providing iDirect-based satellite infrastructure, Vizada Networks is helping establish a vital communications link among thousands of staff of a large defense agency dispersed across several outposts. The agency's core mission is to assist and support local authorities in the rule of law area, specifically with police, judiciary and customs. Such civil defense organizations require highly reliable solutions that can either serve as a primary communications link in remote locations or as a secure backup solution for sites in more developed areas.

iDirect's VSAT platform is specifically designed to provide the heightened communications availability and reliability that international defense and government organizations require. Built on a highly efficient shared capacity system, the iDirect platform offers sophisticated Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth management tools that allow Vizada Networks' customers to dynamically allocate satellite capacity based on each site's real-time needs. In addition, the iDirect platform uses intuitive Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) technology to automatically adjust signal strength and preserve link quality during adverse weather.
