VSAT System Topology
The iDirect Solution
By simply adding a separate line C or Ku-Band Satellite card, the iDirect solution can support different topologies from the same chassis It can also support multiple satellite links
SCPC Connection
The new iDirect Hub Chassis Line Card supports network speeds of 18 Mbps Downstream, and 4.2 Mbps Upstream. A single 20 slot Hub Chassis supports aggregate speeds of 360 Mbps.
