More Efficiency in the Network, Better Response Times for End-Users

iDirect Technologies TCP Acceleration techniques provide full end-to-end data validity and result in high link efficiency and throughput, while maintaining consistent response times for end-users at the remote site. Our TCP performance highlights include:

• TCP acceleration - reduces overall bandwidth requirements, while enhancing performance by mitigating the effects of latency over satellite
• Utilizes 3-Way Handshake acceleration providing customers better HTTP performance
• Includes local DNS caching resulting in higher user satisfaction and an improved browsing experience

Easier to Deploy, Easier to Manage

iDirect Technologies produces and markets a portfolio of products surrounding its core NetModem technology. The iDirect advantages include but are not limited to:

• One-box solution that includes a satellite modem, IP router, TCP optimization and QoS capabilities in one box
• Centralized network management software that offers a central command center for software upgrades, configuration changes, real-time monitoring and historical reporting
• The NetModem can be configured to operate in both point-to-point or TDMA mode

Dependable Connections, Enterprise-Class Data Integrity

Free to design without the burden and commitments to legacy technology, iDirect Technologies has developed an unparalleled two-way broadband satellite solution from the ground up. The iDirect Technologies solution offers the world's most effective and reliable broadband and business class IP solution over satellite that includes:

• First to implement Turbo Product Code (TPC) Forward Error Correction (FEC)
• 10-9 bit-error-rate (BER) guaranteed
• Uses approximately 50% less power (Eb/No) when compared to Reed-Solomon/Viterbi
• Auto power adjustment ensures reliable connectivity even in bad weather conditions

Bandwith Flexibity, Simple Expansions

The iDirect Technologies product line was developed with the requirements of the enterprise customer and network operator specifically in mind. The company's products combine years of research and development of D-TDMA, satellite communications, and software algorithm technology. The pursuit of this vision resulted in the delivery of a unique, scalable response to the challenges faced by traditional satellite or terrestrial infrastructure providers that include:

• Ability to increase bandwidth as needed on the fly
• Provides upstream data rates from 64 Kbps to 5.75 Mbps (antenna and transmitter size may vary)
• Downstream data rates from 64 Kbps to 11.5 Mbps (antenna and transmitter size may vary)
• Customers can easily add new remotes without increasing satellite capacity
• iDirect Technologies equipment works with C, KU and Ka band satellites

Broader Service Options, Versatile Application Support

iDirect Technologies has introduced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that allow IP traffic types to be given varying service levels based on multiple parameters that include:

• Prioritization based on source IP address, destination IP address, source port number, destination port number and protocol type
• Class based queuing which assigns a percentage of bandwidth to each class
• Rate limiting which allocates only the bandwidth that is needed
• Committed Information Rate (CIR) - dedicates bandwidth as required
