iDirect, Inc., a company of VT Systems Inc (VT Systems), has announced that NYNEX Network Solutions (Nynex), a satellite network operator headquartered in Germany, has expanded its DVB-S2 broadband satellite service to accommodate growing business demand. Nynex has upgraded its network infrastructure with iDirect’s new Evolution XLC Line Cards, X5 Satellite Routers, and iDX 2.0 operating software. The enhanced network will deliver increased data performance, while allowing Nynex the flexibility to serve an expanding customer base efficiently.

The investment follows Nynex’s introduction of an iDirect DVB-S2 Evolution network in the Middle East and Africa. For Nynex, nexgen bandwidth efficiency gains have led to significant customer contracts with government organizations and with enterprise customers in the oil and gas, financial services and other industries. The upgraded network stretches these gains further through iDirect’s newly released 2D 16-State inbound coding capability, which delivers an additional 10 to 20 percent increase in inbound IP throughput over DVB-S2/ACM gains. With expanded network capabilities, Nynex will continue to leverage the iDirect platform to meet a broad range of customer requirements from TDMA and mesh networks to maritime connectivity, secure government communications and GSM network integration. Nynex has also strengthened its service offering by implementing a new hub switching engine which can handle 1.4 TB of traffic and a proxy blade system to boost Web browsing speed.
