The growth and popularity of mobile voice and data services are causing mobile operators around the globe to evaluate different backhaul technologies to meet the rapidly increasing demand for their 3G/4G/LTE network deployments. Especially in rural areas, mobile operators are looking at satellite to extend their coverage as it is now becoming a more economical and rapidly deployable solution for backhauling.
Improvements in mobile infrastructure along with new developments in satellite technology are changing the business case for upgrading to more modern networks. While new High Throughput Satellite (HTS) architecture is dramatically lowering the cost per bit for bandwidth, next-generation satellite ground infrastructure is improving throughput levels, form factors, network efficiency and the end-user experience. To take full advantage, operators are looking at modernizing their networks all while evaluating how satellite backhaul is integrated into the larger converged end-to-end network. Operators and service providers need to find new revenue opportunities globally.
iDirect can help enable operators and service providers to create these new revenue opportunities. Our solution offers mobile and network operators a cellular backhaul solution based on new developments with HTS architecture together with next-generation satellite ground infrastructure that lowers bandwidth costs, improves throughput levels, increases network efficiency and provides the best end-user experience. The iDirect solution is built on a platform that maximizes advanced features such as superior Quality of Service (QoS) and seamless integration with Layer 2 over Satellite (L2oS). And optimization enhancements with SatHaul-XE bring new value-added features to the operators.
Whether it’s addressing 2G, 3G or 4G/LTE networks, iDirect’s solution can help mobile operators achieve their business goals. Mobile operators can leverage a platform that provides high throughput and bandwidth efficiencies as well as carrier-grade architecture, with advanced QoS to maintain multiple Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
