Telefonica del Peru debuts iDirect Evolution-based VSAT services

The iDirect Evolution platform served as the basis of the very small aperture terminal (VSAT) service recently offered by Telefonica del Peru to banking, oil and gas, and government sectors in Peru and its South American neighbors.

Telefonica del Peru integrated existing multi protocol label switching (MPLS) networks into the new VSAT networks using iDirect technology. Customers could now enjoy an unbroken end-to-end networking solution no matter how remote their location.

Telefonica del Peru deployed two iDirect Universal 15000 Series satellite hubs and more than 1,000 Evolution X1 and X3 remotes for its new VSAT service. IDirect's iDX 3.1 software runs on all of those satellite communications systems.

Telefonica del Peru sought out a highly efficient and reliable satellite solution when it expanded satellite communications services to 2,000 of the largest enterprises in Peru. iDirect's superior VSAT technology allowed the Peruvian company to extend its MPLS services while ensuring that Telefonica del Peru customers received the quality of service that they paid for.

iDirect provides a cost-effective, scalable solution that guarantees faster ROI. The company's iDX 3.1 software allows Telefonica del Peru to offer narrowband service and support large-scale networks with the Peruvian company's existing infrastructure.

iDX3.1 can also handle applications like SCADA/substation automation, pipeline monitoring, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) mobile backhaul, business continuity, SOHO, and distance learning.

In addition, the iDirect's Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub allows Telefonica del Peru to deliver the highest quality connectivity regardless of bandwidth requirement, satellite band, or network topology.

Telefonica del Peru will also be tapping a new licensing option for the Evolution XLC-M Line Card. The option for XLC-M allows it to support up to 16 narrowband return channels.
