iDX 3.1 provides Orbitnet an ideal solution to grow its Internet service offering in Mongolia, Bhutan and throughout the APAC region. With more than 500 remote sites providing Internet connectivity to users in a range of markets, including banking, telecommunications, mining, and education, Orbitnet required a VSAT solution that was flexible enough to support multiple applications, while also offering the ability to scale affordably.
By upgrading to iDirect's iDX 3.1 software, Orbitnet has enhanced its service further by reducing customer start-up costs and improving data throughput. Additionally, iDX 3.1 allows Orbitnet to scale its business more profitably at both the remote site, through iDirect's new lower-cost Evolution X1 series of remotes, and at the hub site, with a new 16-channel narrowband inbound configuration for the Evolution XLC-M line card.
"In all of the markets we serve, reliable Internet access is critical to our customers' success. By implementing iDX 3.1, we have optimized our networks and reduced the costs of our service, giving our customers a satellite Internet solution that is reliable, affordable, and perfectly tailored for their unique needs. This new technology is providing us with the opportunity to better serve our customers in Mongolia and, at the same time, expand our market in the APAC region."

CEO, Orbitnet LLC
"Internet connectivity is hugely important to Mongolia's economic growth and iDirect's solutions have enabled Orbitnet to provide a satellite Internet solution that is reliable and affordable. With the improved efficiencies of iDX 3.1, Orbitnet is better able to expand their operations throughout the region, win new customers, and bring the benefits of Internet access to a much broader audience."
