iDirect Participates in Launch of Satellite Broadband In Ireland

iDirect Technologies, a privately held company that designs, develops, and markets bi-directional satellite-based broadband access solutions, is working with the South Western Region Authority of Ireland to launch satellite-based broadband services to local communities and enterprises.

iDirect’s NetModem II Plus terminal equipment was incorporated by ilDana, a Irish broadband service provider, into a network operated by Netdish, a telecommunications and data broadcasting provider for digital content distribution and connectivity over IP networks.

The SWRA Broadband Initiative, funded by the European Space Agency, is designed to evaluate, demonstrate and disseminate information on the use of satellite broadband for business development, government services, education and training and health and medical applications.
