The Satellite Spotlight Product of the Year Awards recognize companies that have demonstrated vision and leadership in the satellite industry, while contributing to the advancement of technologies that address real needs in the marketplace. iDX 3.0 scored on both counts, delivering a breakthrough technology in the satellite industry and giving service providers the flexibility to support dynamic customer networks, capture new revenue opportunities, and reduce their operational costs.
Through iDX 3.0, service providers can make bandwidth more efficient for customers by switching from TDMA to SCPC Return to support temporary heavy traffic conditions. SCPC Return can also be turned on permanently once traffic reaches a threshold where a dedicated SCPC connection is the most economical choice. Since the release of iDX 3.0, many major satellite service providers have implemented the technology to enhance their service offerings, including Bentley Walker, Turksat, OmniAccess, and Q-KON.
"Combining TDMA and SCPC Return on a single intelligent platform was an important and much-needed breakthrough for our partners and the satellite industry and we are honored to receive this recognition from Satellite Spotlight. Since we launched iDX 3.0, we have seen widespread adoption among our service provider partners and continue to have strong demand for the technology."
