SatLink
Communications,
a
leading

solutions
for
video,
audio
and
data
over
satellite
platforms,
fiber
and
IP,
has
launched
a
network
to
enhance
its
data
services.
By
purchasing
a
new
Evolution
satellite
hub,
SatLink
is
offering
complete
service
coverage
across
Europe,
the
Middle
East,
Africa
and

iDirect
is a
world
leader
in
satellite-based
IP
communications
technology.
By
deploying
an
Evolution
network,
SatLink
is
enhancing
its
service
portfolio,
including
hub
hosting
and
VNO
operations,
along
with
its
core
data,
video
and
IP
transmission
businesses,
while
expanding
its
capacity
for
new
customers.
SatLink’s
100
secured
earth
stations
are
ideally
positioned
for
supporting
both
regional
and
global
telecoms
and
satellite
operators
with
a
myriad
of
data
services.
iDirect’s
Evolution
platform
enables
SatLink
to
enhance
the
value
of
its
services
in
several
ways.
Built
on
the
next-generation
DVB-S2
transmission
standard
with
Adaptive
Coding
and
Modulation,
SatLink’s
Evolution
network
allows
the
provider
to
better
utilize
network
bandwidth
resources
and
realize
immediate
efficiency
gains.
As
SatLink
looks
to
expand
its
services
to
new
customers
across
EMEA

iDirect’s
universal
satellite
hub
enables
high-speed
satellite
broadband
with
carrier-class
quality
and
performance
regardless
of
bandwidth
requirement,
location
or
business
application.
“Whether
we’re
supporting
a
VNO
service
handling
critical
data
for
a
government
or
enterprise
client,
or a
broadcaster
transmitting
a
live
HD-video
feed
of a
major
event,
the
quality
and
integrity
of
our
services
is
non-negotiable.
By
implementing
an
Evolution
network,
we
can
enhance
bandwidth
speeds
and
throughput,
and
offer
the
levels
of
reliability
and
security
that
are
critical
to
our
broadcast,
government
and
corporate
customers
who
entrust
us
with
their
most
valuable
assets.”
