Latest NewsMarch 2008iDirect Selected By Russian Network Operator HeliosNet To Expand Its Broadband Services Technology investment will help leading communications provider capitalize on growing market opportunities, despite satellite capacity constraints Singapore, 18 March 2008 — Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited’s (ST Electronics) US satellite communication company, iDirect Inc. (iDirect) today announced today announced that Russian network operator Web Media Services, which operates under the name “HeliosNet,” has implemented iDirect’s satellite communications platform. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology. HeliosNet installed two iDirect Universal 5IF satellite hubs and multiple remote routers. This establishes a broad satellite network that can support a diverse range of applications and maximize bandwidth efficiency at a time when the supply of capacity in the Russian satellite market is nearly exhausted. This will also enable HeliosNet to expand its customer base and introduce new broadband services throughout Russia and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Based on the iDirect Intelligent Platform, HeliosNet will build an enterprise-class network with full mesh capabilities that will deliver IP broadband for Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet access, business continuity, video conferencing and other applications. The network will connect to multiple satellites and feature iDirect’s patented D-TDMA system, which dynamically allocates bandwidth over multiple remotes. The iDirect platform also delivers Group QoS (Quality of Service) functionality, which allocates bandwidth to specific IP applications, enabling HeliosNet to support a diversity of service level agreements in real time.
Web Media Services, which operates under “HeliosNet,” is a Russian provider of satellite based telecommunication services. HeliosNet serves a range of customers in Eastern Europe and Asia, including many remote areas with no terrestrial infrastructure.
