iDirect
Government
Unveils
New
Defense
Remotes
and
Line
Cards
with
Increased
Performance
and
Functionality
March

iDirect
Government
(iDirectGov),
a
leading
provider
of
satellite
communications
to
the
military
and
government,
today
unveils
its
next
generation
9-Series
portfolio
of
remotes
and
defense
line
cards
that
will
bring
greater
spectral
efficiencies
and
enhanced
performance
to
the
company’s
government
customers.
Riding
on
the
9-Series
remotes
is
the
Evolution
3.4
software
that
brings
the
products
to
life.
Each
of
the
remotes
within
the
new
series
features
different
form
factors
and
capabilities
to
accommodate
customer
specific
needs.
The
entire
series
of
remotes
is
capable
of
nearly
double
the
in-route
Msps
of
its
predecessor
the
8-Series
and
with
almost
10
times
the
packets
per
second
capability.
Featuring
extended
frequency
ranges,
which
allow
users
to
access
the
Wideband
Global
Satellite
(WGS)
constellation,
as
well
as
High
Throughput
Satellites
(HTS),
the
9-Series
supports
the
ability
to
receive
multiprotocol
encapsulation
(MPE)
broadcasts.
For
secure
traffic,
the
9-Series
will
support
both
one-way
and
two-way
TRANSEC
and
be
certified
at
FIPS140-2
Level
3.
The
series
consists
of
the
950mp,
900
and
9350.
The
950mp
features
a
reduced
footprint
of
33%,
uses
55%
less
power
and
is
28%
lighter
than
its
predecessor
the
e850mp
–
all
of
which
is
critical
in
the
use
of
man-portable
terminals.
The
900
and
9350
remotes
include
dual
demodulators,
which
allow
the
remotes
to
support
two
separate
data
streams.
Combinations
of
data
traffic
can
include
both
two-way
and
one-way
traffic,
with
one
way
traffic
consisting
of
multiprotocol
encapsulation
(MPE)
broadcasts
or
one-way
TRANSEC.
The
9350
also
boasts
the
first
LCD
screen
on
an
iDirect
remote,
allowing
the
user
to
view
remote’s
configuration
and
statistics.
The
next-generation
defense
line
cards
–
the
DLC-T
and
DLC-R–
enable
secure
voice,
data
and
video
communication
links
and
enable
the
9-series
remotes
to
operate
on
the
new
HTS.
The
DLC-T
supports
one-way
TRANSEC
and
is
DVB
S2X
ready.
The
DLC-
R
has
an
on-board
TRANSEC
module
and
will
support
as
many
as
16
channels
and
as
much
as a
four
times
increase
in
composite
Msps
and
a
two
times
increase
in
per
channel
TDMA
and
Adaptive
SCPC
returns.
DLC-Rs
are
capable
of
supporting
MCD
Adaptive
Spread.
“The
improved
functionality
of
the
9-Series
remotes
and
defense
line
cards
will
be a
force
multiplier
for
field
operators
who
have
long
told
us
that
they
need
a
reduced
footprint
without
having
to
sacrifice
performance,
agility
and
functionality,”
said
John
Ratigan,
president
of
iDirect
Government.
“We
innovated
around
speed
and
performance,
bringing
iDirect’s
fastest
TDMA
remotes
into
the
marketplace.
We’re
excited
about
what
this
means
for
the
military
missions
ahead.”
