iDirect execs discuss Ka-band satellites during GVF Ka Roundtable Assembly 2012


Executives from VT iDirect, Inc. will be present at the GVF Ka Roundtable Assembly 2012 at the Strand Palace Hotel in London, UK on December 5 and 6. The iDirect officers will contribute their expertise and insights on the recently-developed high-throughput satellites (HTS) and Ka-band capacity. These new technologies can accommodate the increasing demands of end users in a broad variety of vertical markets such as satellite Internet.

iDirect is a world-leading provider of satellite-based IP communications technology. The Company's Chief Technology Officer, David Bettinger, and Director of Product Management, Jonathan Barter, will deliver talks during the Ka Roundtable Assembly.

Bettinger will grace two panels: one is the Satellite Operator & Provider Forum, and the other is Ground Infrastructure Focus. Meanwhile, the OEM Forum panel will be hosted by Barter.
The two iDirect execs will discuss the technical components of HTS technology, the effect that HTS will exert on the value chain of satellite services, the ways satellite operators and service providers can use HTS services to provide high-speed satellite Internet connectivity for new end user expectations for high-speed connectivity, and other related issues.

Avanti Communications, Inmarsat, O3B, and other key satellite industry leaders will also be attending the Ka Roundtable Assembly conference.

End users have been loudly clamoring for faster satellite connectivity and greater bandwidth capacity. According to iDirect, HTS technology can potentially fulfill that demand. The Company has developed ground infrastructure technology that allows its partners to use HTS capabilities to the fullest.
