Satellite Communication Systems Inc. offers a host of connectivity options facilitated through a teleport gateway system. The iDIRECT platform allows for provisioning of satellite transponder capacity for the uplink and downlink to remote VSAT terminals. The iDirect system is a satellite based IP solution that operates in a star, star/mesh or Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) topology. The star topology consists of a Hub and multiple remote Satellite Routers. The system is a 2-way broadband network solution with all traffic on the out route or downstream broadcast over a TDM carrier. Satellite routers pass traffic to the Hub on a shared in the route carrier using iDirects's highly differentiated Deterministic-TDMA (D-TDMA) access scheme.  The system has a built-in automatic in route power control and adaptive channels that ensure connectivity even through severely degraded weather conditions.
