iDirect has announced that Russian network operator Web Media Services, which operates under the name "HeliosNet," has implemented iDirect's satellite communications platform. HeliosNet installed two iDirect Universal 5IF satellite hubs and multiple remote routers.

This establishes a broad satellite network that can support a diverse range of applications and maximize bandwidth efficiency at a time when the supply of capacity in the Russian satellite market is nearly exhausted. This will also enable HeliosNet to expand its customer base and introduce new broadband services throughout Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Based on the iDirect Intelligent Platform, HeliosNet will build an enterprise-class network with full mesh capabilities that will deliver IP broadband for Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet access, business continuity, video conferencing and other applications.

The network will connect to multiple satellites and feature iDirect's patented D- TDMA system, which dynamically allocates bandwidth over multiple remotes. The iDirect platform also delivers Group QoS (Quality of Service) functionality, which allocates bandwidth to specific IP applications, enabling HeliosNet to support a diversity of service level agreements in real time.

"The demand for high-speed satellite connectivity in Russia is growing exponentially; however, network operators are constrained by a tightly limited supply of satellite capacity. iDirect is enabling HeliosNet to thrive in this bandwidth-constrained environment by providing enterprise-class connectivity that fully meets the communications needs of our customers."
