iDirect Integrates Sevis 2G/3G Optimization Solution with New EC Series of Satellite Remotes

HERNDON, Va., March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of Vision Technologies Systems, Inc. (VT Systems), today announced Sevis' 2G/3G Intelligent Backhaul Optimization as a supported application to run on the iDirect embedded computing (EC) series of satellite remotes. This solution enables satellite service providers to cost-effectively optimize 2G/3G IP voice and packet service traffic to rural or isolated locations using an integrated, single-box solution. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.

The Sevis cellular backhaul solution optimizes 2G and 3G IP traffic from any mobile infrastructure vendor, enabling mobile operators to cost-effectively connect remote and rural cellular locations. Sevis' Intelligent Backhaul Optimization suite of applications is designed to make the most efficient use of satellite bandwidth and can deliver savings of 35% to 50% on 2G networks, and 10% to 30% on 3G networks, depending on traffic. The iDirect EC series of satellite remotes delivers enhanced functionality to run such approved software applications to deliver market-specific solutions from a single box.

For mobile operators, the Sevis software is easy to deploy as the system automatically self-configures based on wireless vendor and traffic. Operating in bridged mode helps operators easily extend services across the network and aligns with the iDirect Layer 2 over Satellite (L2oS) solution. The solution delivers efficiency improvements through advanced header compression and packet aggregation capabilities, while its open SNMP management enables integration with an operator's existing network management system.

"As mobile operators around the globe look to expand the network into rural and remote locations, they rely on Sevis to help deliver such services in the most affordable and efficient manner possible. By combining our 2G/3G Optimization solution with iDirect's new series of Embedded Computing remotes, we provide an integrated solution that reduces the cost of installation and operation. This in turn helps with our customers' mission to increase revenue, improve the user experience and launch new services," says Tim Peyla, Vice President of Business Development, Sevis Systems.

"Cellular backhaul continues to be a market of high growth for iDirect customers, as satellite technology helps mobile operators expand their coverage area and increase subscribers easily and more cost effectively. Our new series of iDirect Embedded Computing satellite remotes increases value for our customers in this market, delivering market-leading applications like the Sevis 2G/3G Optimization solution into a single rack-mounted form factor for seamless delivery of services," says David Harrower, Vice President of Business Development, iDirect.
