Turksat purchased a Series 15100 universal satellite hub, Evolution X5 and X3 routers and Evolution line cards from iDirect to pursue new market opportunities and augment its TurksatVSAT offering.

   TurksatVSAT aims to provide support for voice and data transmission, Internet, VPN and video conferencing. The operator said iDirect’s iDX 3.0 multi-channel demodulation technology allows significant efficiency improvements to its existing VSAT services.

   Turksat Vice President Nihat Oktay said that his company would use the solution to reduce its hardware and bandwidth costs and maximize hub capacity by combining up to eight inbound channels on a single satellite line card.

   “This is critical as the company scales to meet greater customer demand and enter new vertical markets,” Oktay said in a statement. “At Turksat, communication is everything. Whether we are working with the government or the private sector, we must be able to deliver the highest quality satellite solutions to our customers. That’s why we partnered with iDirect.”
