Seamless, Global Connectivity

Easy Operation Of A Global Network Consisting Of Multiple Hubs, Teleports, Beams And Network Management Systems

Automatic Beam Switching

How it works •  Requires an auto-pointing antenna with GPS integrated with the remote •  Beam server in the NMS contains footprint information for all beams on all satellites

in the global network •  Depending on signal quality and location, the router either remains in the current

network or switches to a higher-quality network •  Router initiates an automatic antenna re-pointing and acquires the new network

carriers

XHO Benefits

• Optimization of IP traffic through ‘lossy’ and lossless compression and packet aggregation to reduce traffic volume

• Acceleration of IP traffic optimized for geostationary satellite links, to better ‘fill the pipe’

• Reduced processing of VoIP and other small UDP packets by remote (XRT option)

• Streaming data compression reduces the number of packets and typically yields bandwidth gains of 2X to 10X

• Optimization of web traffic improves browser refresh and user perceptions of response times

Optimization and Enhancement Products XipLink

PCMA

Technical Specifications

• Uses Paired Carrier Multiple Access (PCMA) to combine the uplink and downlinks transmissions into the same bandwidth

•  Located at hub location as an add-on technology enhancer • Works with iNFINITI TPC or Evolution DVB-S2/ACM satellite

networks • Works with all modulation types and FEC coding • Available in 2MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz, 36MHz models and in

1:1 redundant configuration for 10MHz and above •  25 dB min forward carrier signal cancellation

•  Enables the TDMA demodulators at the hub to see the upstream carriers

• Standard 19” 1U rack mountable

Cost-effective solution for capacity constrained networks that need to enhance utilization efficiency resulting in

increased capacity of your iDirect network.

PCMA Hub Canceller Benefits

• Maximizes capacity •  Echo cancellation technique can reduce required BW up to 50% •  Frees up BW for expansion or new applications in existing networks •  Ideal for capacity constraints regions or networks •  Makes spread spectrum carriers bandwidth efficient

• Provides security •  PCMA hides upstream carriers from detection

• Superior bundled solution •  One-stop shop solution from iDirect •  Fully integrated TAC support •  Build-in remote uplink power control minimizes interference on the

downstream carrier from the upstream carriers
