Feb. 28, 2012

Turksat, has upgraded its global satellite network with iDirect's latest operating software, iDX 3.0. With the purchase of a new Series 15100 Universal Satellite Hub, as well as Evolution X5 and X3 routers and Evolution line cards, Turksat has significantly enhanced its existing investment in iDirect's Intelligent Platform™ to pursue new market opportunities. iDirect is the world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.

Turksat's upgrade to iDX 3.0 will augment the company's TurksatVSAT offering, which provides support for voice and data transmission, Internet, VPN, and video conferencing. The multi-channel demodulation technology of iDX 3.0 brings significant efficiency improvements to Turksat's VSAT services. By combining up to eight inbound channels on a single satellite line card, Turksat can reduce its hardware and bandwidth costs and maximize hub capacity, which is critical as the company scales to meet greater customer demand and enter new vertical markets.

"At Turksat, communication is everything. Whether we are working with the government or the private sector, we must be able to deliver the highest quality satellite solutions to our customers. That's why we partnered with iDirect. Upgrading to iDirect's iDX 3.0 software has provided significant efficiency gains and will help us as we continue to grow." said Nihat Oktay, Vice President, Turksat

"iDX 3.0 is a great investment for Turksat, because it allows the company to improve the efficiency and flexibility of its current services, while also reducing hardware costs, making it a scalable solution as Turksat expands its customer base. We are pleased to be in a long-term partnership with Turksat, and we look forward to helping the company further strengthen its VSAT offering." commented, Majdi Atout.
