iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.

With satellite capacity strained in the region, the new network will leverage the bandwidth efficiencies of DVB-S2 with ACM to deliver enterprise broadband applications, including Voice over IP (VoIP), videoconferencing, file transfer and Internet access. The system will support TigrisNet's customers in the region, particularly in Iraq, where a severe shortage of operational terrestrial networks has created a demand for high-speed satellite connectivity.

TigrisNet is supporting numerous government ministries, international organizations and local businesses that are working to rebuild the country's infrastructure. With the implementation of the new DVB-S2 network, TigrisNet is also expanding its services to new customers in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

'There is huge opportunity right now in Iraq to establish critical infrastructure throughout the country. To be effective, our customers needed a solution that could be implemented quickly and make the most of limited bandwidth resources. The Evolution product line gives us the flexibility and efficiency we require on the same iDirect platform that we have trusted for years, said Raied Nasser, Managing Director, TigrisNet'

'TigrisNet is making a bold move to extend vital connectivity in a capacity-strained region and sustain rebuilding efforts. As the backbone of these crucial next-generation networks, the Evolution product line will enable TigrisNet to deliver bandwidth as efficiently as possible, said David Harrower, Regional Vice President, Europe, iDirect.'

Built on the DVB-S2 standard and featuring ACM capabilities, iDirect's Evolution product line delivers dramatic gains in bandwidth efficiency. It supports a wide range of IP data rates, carrier modulations and FEC codes, including downstream modulations of up to 16APSK and upstream modulations of 8PSK. Evolution includes the advanced features of the iDirect Intelligent Platform to help operators amplify the gains of DVB-S2, enabling satellite networks to meet demanding service level agreements and reach data speeds of up to 156 Megabits per second.
