The extremely flexible Quality of Service and prioritization capabilities allow the Network Operator to not only prioritize traffic and applications over its networks, but with iDirect’s state-of-the-art Group QoS functionalities, they can determine traffic prioritization across multiple applications, multiple remotes, and multiple sub-networks, simultaneously adding a level of granularity that allows easy management of the most complex SLA’s and subscriber services. Additionally, built-in automatic end-to-end uplink power control increases network availability and reduces downtime.
Bandwidth Efficiencies
iDirect’s patented, deterministic MF-TDMA achieves a 98% payload efficiency on the return channel. Furthermore, supporting a wide variety of turbo product codes (TPC) FECs, the 3000 Series provides greater flexibility for network design and optimization. Furthermore, built-in TCP/IP and HTTP acceleration increases throughput performance, and maximizes the user’s experience and satisfaction.
Simplicity
Operating with all iDirect’s hubs the 3000 Series can be easily configured, monitored, and controlled through the iVantage™ Network Management System. This easy to operate and very intuitive NMS has been the industry’s most renowned and robust network management system, proven and perfected for nearly a decade.
Offering more efficiency and higher data rates compared to other TDMA systems, the iNfiniti 3000 Series is an ideal enterprise networking solution for Network Operators seeking to reduce the total cost of ownership.

Solutions.
The hub-based LinkStarS2 system incorporates the DVB-S2 waveform that offers up to 30% greater bandwidth efficiency, substantially reducing network operating costs and increasing network capacity. The LinkStar® system is the highest performance, star-based VSAT system for service providers, ISPs, and corporate network managers who are seeking a system based on DVB standards.
LinkStarS2A Networking: Now With ACM
In addition to DVB-S2 savings, the LinkStar system now also includes ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation). In environments prone to unpredictable and heavy weather, ACM provides up to 46% reduction in satellite bandwidth compared to a non-ACM implementation of DVB-S2. ACM enables the downstream carrier to dynamically change its modulation and coding in response to changing link conditions. Plus, the LinkStarS2A system also includes ViaSat-exclusive Dynamic Link Adaptation (DLA) to provide operators even more improvements in performance reliability when satellite signal strength degrades for any reason.
LinkStar networking offers several benefits
*The highest return channel rate on the market
*Rate-based operation that increases your data throughput
*Guaranteed information rates for each network location
*Lower-cost terminals because fewer hardware components are needed and volumes increase as markets expand
*Both ViaSat-enhanced and DVB-RCS operating modes (software changeable)
LinkStar VSATs can operate using C- or Ku-band transponders, and can operate efficiently in small or large networks, for thin-route or broadband data. A Web-based NMS makes it simple to operate and easy to configure.
