ATCONTACT iDirect Internet Service
ATCONTACT Communications is uniquely capable of delivering the ideal solution for each customer network, or individual site based on their specific situation or challenges.
ISP’s, Businesses, Enterprises and geographically challenged remote locations require cost effective and reliable broadband solutions over satellite.
ISP’s, Businesses, Enterprises and geographically challenged remote locations require cost effective and reliable broadband solutions over satellite.
ATCONTACT provides the iDirect line of remote satellite routers (series 3000, 5000 and 7000). All of which are a part of a family of solutions designed to support the most demanding applications and communications requirements:
Simplicity
- One-Box Solution (Satellite Modem, IP Router, TCP Optimization, QoS, 3DES Link Encryption)
- Centralized Management (Software Upgrades, Configuration Changes)
Most Reliable Solution over Satellite
- First to implement Turbo Product Code (TPC) Forward Error Correction 10-9 or Better Bit-Error Rate Guarantee
- Uses 50% lower power (Eb/No) when compared to RSV
- Auto Power Adjustment provides reliable connectivity even in bad weather conditions. The ultimate result is more TCP throughput
Performance
- Highest TCP/IP throughputs in the industry (9 Mbps downstream – 4.2 Mbps Upstream)
- Fast Frequency Hopping (MF-TDMA) combined with Rapid Bandwidth Allocation
- TCP/IP is very sensitive to BER. TPC Encoding ensures 10-9 BER, providing fiber like reliability
- Technological Superiority Allows Use of Much Smaller Antenna Sizes
TCP Performance Improvements
- Mitigates the effects of latency over satellite
- TCP Acceleration - Reduces overall bandwidth requirement, while enhancing performance
- Web Acceleration – Provides better HTTP performance
- Local DNS Caching – More User Satisfaction
Application Quality of Service
- Application QoS based on multiple parameters (Source/Destination IP Address, Source/Destination Port Number, 802.1q, VLAN ID, IP DiffServ & TOS Bits, Protocol Type)
- Network QoS – Provides application QoS even across multiple remotes sites
- Class Based Queuing – Assign percentage of bandwidth to each class
- Rate Limiting – Allocate only bandwidth that is needed
- Committed Information Rate – Dedicate bandwidth as required (Static and Dynamic)
- Built-in Jitter Handling for Realtime traffic such as Voice and Video.
Security
- Real Private Networks
- End-to-End VLANs (802.1q Based)
- 3DES Link Encryption (Only Remotes that Need it, even in a shared network)
Scalability
- Upstream from 64 kbps to 4.2 Mbps (Antenna and Transmitter Size May Vary)
- Downstream from 128 kbps to 18Mbps
- Carriers can be configured in 1 bps increments
- Can easily add new remotes without increasing satellite capacity
- Equipment will Work With C, Ku, or Ka Band Satellites
Flexibility
- Star Topology
- TDMA Configuration
- Point-to-Point IP (SCPC) Configuration
- Star-Mesh Topology
- Mobile Application
