Product development is an important
focus of iDirect and the company
has successfully tested the commercial
version of its DVB-S2 Evolution
platform simulating a live customer
environment. The series of tests
validated the platform’s feature

gains and were conducted over a
Telesat satellite. iDirect’s Evolution
platform comprises a new line of
DVB-S2 remotes and line cards as
well as advanced operating and
network management software.
During the tests, the platform’s
Adaptive Coding and Modulation
(ACM) feature successfully enabled
iDirect’s Evolution series remote
to maintain optimum coding and

16-APSK during fair weather conditions
and shifting to more robust
modulation and coding schemes
during a simulation of link fade
conditions. iDirect also tested Voice
over IP (VoIP), Web browsing, data
transfer (FTP) and email applications
to validate typical broadband
applications and the successful
inter-operability of iDirect’s
Evolution platform features with
the DVB-S2 system.
Ongoing product development and
innovative marketing has allowed
iDirect to pull ahead of the pack
in its marketing and sales achievements.
The company has achieved
47 percent share of total Time
Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
hub sales according to COMSYS
research, making iDirect hubs the
worldwide industry standard. With
the increased market share, iDirect
is leading the industry and has
emerged amongst the top companies
