VT iDirect Launches the iQ LTE
VT iDirect's iQ LTE will enable more flexible and resilient communications...

T iDirect has launched the iQ LTE, a
unique hybrid satellite and wireless
remote that combines iDirect's nextgeneration DVB-S2/DVB-S2X satellite
technology, based on the iQ 200,
with a high-performance LTE modem
developed by Cradlepoint
Packaged in a single box solution
for ease of deployment, provisioning
and operation, the solution opens new
opportunities for service providers to
support a wider range of enterprise
applications that require software-defined
routing for least-cost or hybrid connectivity.
"As the world becomes fully connected,
every access technology must work
together to enable a growing diversity of
network applications, while providing overall
redundancy," says Toni Kousiafes, Vice
President, Product Management, VT iDirect.
"A key measure of a service provider's value
is how well they can deliver a seamless
offering - from hybrid networks to single
source provisioning and billing. The iQ LTE
makes this possible within key enterprise,

government and mobility markets that will
see major growth as global demand for
connectivity continues to skyrocket."
As enterprise applications become more
complex, SD-WANs are emerging to offer
high-efficiency connectivity, automatically
routing traffic over the best performing and
lowest cost networks. The iQ LTE remote
brings together WAN affinity for satellite, LTE
and Wi-Fi, which are all essential elements
in SD-WAN networking. It supports IP traffic
across both satellite and LTE networks,
choosing the appropriate path based on

High-speed satellite and LTE modem technology

criteria such as application, cost and
congestion.
Hybrid cellular-satellite networks are
increasingly relied on by commercial
and government organizations such as
first responders who demand continual
connectivity even when core networks go
down, and financial institutions who need to
provide constant bandwidth ATMs even when
local LTE service is compromised. In these
cases, the iQ LTE can automatically switch
from primary cellular coverage to satellite

coverage, allowing businesses to continue
operations even if LTE service is interrupted.
The satellite forward link on the iQ
LTE can also be used for multicast
traffic, transporting very large data or
video files to thousands of locations
simultaneously
and
achieving
significant time and costs saving
in contrast to a traditional unicast
network configuration. For example,
banks can send out massive security
and system updates to thousands
of ATMs simultaneously or support
applications like video surveillance
and sensors for tamper management.
The iQ LTE also provides coverage flexibility
to organizations that depend on VSAT for their
primary connectivity. For example, maritime
cargo and yachts that rely on VSAT can
switch to more cost-effective LTE coverage
near shore. Offshore oil rigs and service
vessels can seamlessly toggle between VSAT
and LTE as network conditions and locations
change to maintain continual connectivity for
critical operations.
