VSAT Connectivity Service
Square InformatiX Ltd. started its journey in the year 2000 with a commitment to provide IT solution to all types of clients ranging from Government/Non Government Organizations, Military Organizations, Banks and Insurance Companies, Multinational Corporations, Airlines, Manufacturing Companies, Telecommunication, Internet Service Providers, Public and Other Private Sectors.
Corporate Private and Public IP Networks through VSAT
As corporations move mission critical applications to a networked platform to support business requirements and newer practices, the capabilities of the network become very important. The network infrastructure should not inhibit what applications are being used by an organization. At the same time the network should be scalable to allow for newer applications that are evolving to support business. Application based QoS is quickly becoming a baseline requirement to support SLAs that are being enforced by corporations. iDirect technology provides a very compact, integrated solution that supports any TCP/IP based application at the same time providing a secure network infrastructure. The iDirect solution uses the satellite capacity very efficiently thus keeping the total costs very low, at the same time providing a very reliable and highly scalable solution.
Online Banking and ATM Networks
As corporations move mission critical applications on to their network infrastructures, data traffic prioritization and handling becomes of paramount importance. The iDirect solution has been deployed extensively to support secure data communications for the financial sector, in both transactional networks (ATMs, Credit Card transactions) and online Banking communications.
Virtual Private Networks
As corporations expand their business and provide local support and support for mobile users, VPNs become an integral part of the network. The iDirect system supports the transport of any off the shelf VPN solutions. An alternate to these encrypted VPNs would be to use a real private satellite based network. Management of terrestrial VPNs is very cumbersome and difficult due to the fact that many Telco’s will be involved in the total solution, as locations can be widespread. A satellite-based solution allows an organization to have one common infrastructure to provide a more consistent network to all locations. The iDirect solution provides a very affordable and manageable network infrastructure that scales to the requirements of a corporation. Using our solution a corporation can provide a secure private network that can be encrypted and at the same time optimized for satellite communications.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine applications require a solid, reliable, and available network infrastructure to ensure that the stringent requirements of these networks are met. Telemedicine in particular requires that the entire network infrastructure be able to recognize and prioritize both video and audio traffic over any other traffic within the network. In telemedicine video can be sent to multiple sites for review and analysis, or training delivered with audio to all sites. A centrally managed satellite based infrastructure with broadcast capability is ideal for this type of network.
Distance Learning
Many educational institutions are offering off-campus and eLearning programs to take education directly to student locations. With video being the most important component of such a network, providing terrestrial bandwidth at every location is not practical, as affordability becomes a primary issue. Satellite based networks with their inherent multicast and broadcast capability provide a very affordable and reliable medium to support distance learning. One of the key components, beyond bandwidth, that the network infrastructure needs to support is application based QoS. This ensures guaranteed throughput for video and audio, even when FTP or other data traffic is present. It also gives the operator controls on who gets to use the bandwidth. The iDirect solution provides a complete network infrastructure for distance learning that is manageable, affordable, and reliable.
IP Based Networks
As packet based data /voice usage becomes more prevalent in the industry for its overall cost-effectiveness and ease of management, the network infrastructure should be able to recognize, prioritize, and provide a mechanism to effectively handle jitter and latency characteristics demanded by the application. The iDirect solution is the first TDMA solution that handles Voice effectively. The technology handles jitter characteristics, delay characteristics, QoS requirements such as interleaving, and network level prioritization. Our solution allows the deployment of Voice over a TDMA system instead of using SCPC based networks, which reduces cost and at the same time allows other applications to share the same infrastructure.
iDirect technology provides an industry-leading solution allowing enterprises to design networks that simultaneously support data, voice, and video traffic. iDirect delivers unparalleled features and functionality which guarantees VoIP quality even through congested networks.
iDirect’s solution is capable of delivering BER better than 10-9 which is considered clear channel transmission and is therefore ideally suited for VoIP applications. iDirect provides its customers with a scalable private network solution where the QoS can be predefined and established. QoS can be assigned by traffic type, origination and destination, and can also be assigned a percentage of the bandwidth. In addition, available CIR (Committed Information Rate) capability allows the customer to plan the needed bandwidth in advance to make sure that all of the VoIP calls are of the highest quality.
iDirect’s platform supports H.323 or SIP compliant VoIP solutions thus allowing our customers the freedom to choose from multiple equipment vendors.
Military Applications
The military has the most stringent requirements for network infrastructure given the sensitivity and life threatening situations that may be present. To support military requirements a network must be able to provide a secure, highly available, mobile, and manageable solution. The iDirect remote modem solution provides an integrated architecture that is portable and easy to handle. In addition it has built-in AES encryption, FIPS 140-2 certification, is TRANSEC compliant, support for mobile applications, protocol optimization over satellite, scalability, and reliability. The iDirect system can scale up to 6.9 Mbps on the inbound as the demand increases, without the operator having to replace the existing hardware.
Hotel & Hospitality Industry
As the demand for internet connectivity increases more hotel and hospitality organizations are looking at providing cost effective solutions to support this demand. A typical application in this type of industry requires primarily internet connectivity with VPN support. In some instances VoIP is required to provide backup voice services to the regular land-line based voice. Even though this type of network can be heavily oversubscribed as bandwidth requests are very bursty and required very infrequently, once a user gets online he wants the connectivity to be available and fast. This is where the iDirect system allows the network operator to configure frame lengths to provide the most efficient and cost effective solution to accommodate these network requirements.
Temporary/Transportable
Many organizations such as Emergency Response, Insurance, Police, Construction, and Humanitarian Support need a system that can be setup on a temporary basis. This network infrastructure has to be capable of being deployed very quickly and at the same time should be able to support Voice, Data and in some cases Video. The iDirect solution provides an organization with application based QoS at all levels of the network infrastructure to ensure reliable transmission of mission critical applications. The iDirect integrated solution also provides a very compact and easy to deploy solution that reduces the cost of management and use.
Maritime and Cruise Industry
Maritime and cruise industry applications involve providing broadband connectivity and related services to the mobile maritime industry using state-of-the-art VSAT technology. Utilizing existing onboard communications antennas, cruise ships and other vessels can now provide reliable and crystal clear television programming. Combining systems and access technologies from partnering companies, iDirect Technologies allows next generation service providers to offer IP video solutions to seafaring vessels similar to stationary TV services traditionally offered by cable or DTH providers.
Other iDirect enabled maritime services include voice, data, corporate Internet and Internet cafes, compressed video, digital newspapers, on-board television networks and automated teller machines (ATMs).
