Education/Training

Distance learning extends beyond schools and universities. Organizations can more cost effectively meet the needs of employees across continents and time zones that need the latest training and materials, whether to keep essential skills up to date or comply with safety and human resource standards.

iDirect enables interactive distance learning and video conferencing that improves productivity and training quality, while lowering conventional education and training expenses.

The iDirect Intelligent Platform™ is an easily deployable, efficient, fully encrypted solution that supports all the voice, data and video communications requirements with high network availability. It can be seamlessly integrated into the local LAN networks or any other terrestrial infrastructure on site while leveraging the multicasting and broadcasting capabilities of satellite.

iDirect’s award-winning advanced Group Quality of Service (GQoS) allows for intelligent and extremely efficient bandwidth sharing among different locations while enabling the segregation of each school, university or office site into its own virtual network. This allows education departments to better control and monitor Internet usage and access to content by individual school while also benefiting from the bandwidth efficiency advantages of a shared network. Furthermore, iDirect’s advanced IP routing capabilities and VLAN segregation allow for seamless integration into terrestrial broadband networks where already existent.

With extremely efficient bandwidth technologies such as iDirect’s DVB-S2/ACM implementation and the scalable, universal hub solution service providers can easily grow your network from just a few to several thousand sites.

Implementation and deployment are extremely easy with iDirect’s Network Management System, iVantage®, which enables easy configuration, management and control of the entire network.

iDirect’s universal hubs have the right solution for any network operator. For example, the Virtual Network Operator (VNO) option enables operators to view and manage just their own networks and remotes within a larger, shared hub, lowering the upfront investment while providing an attractive, low risk way to start a distance learning network.
