ST Engineering iDirect, a global leader in satellite communications, has been awarded a contract to provide its long-term partner, satellite solutions company AXESS Networks, with the first Newtec Dialog® XIF hub deployed in Mexico to connect remote communities and businesses. The hub will be utilized by AXESS Networks’ customer, mobile operator Altan, to deliver highly sought-after 4G mobile services to rural sites across the region.
A current user of the iDirect Evolution® platform, AXESS offers a range of VSAT services across the Americas and EMEA regions and is a leading regional operator. In expanding its portfolio with Dialog, the company can now tap on more solutions from ST Engineering iDirect’s portfolio to execute its growth plans across many different markets.
AXESS will leverage ST Engineering iDirect’s renowned Mx-DMA return technology, a core feature of the Dialog platform, to extend 4G cellular backhaul connectivity services to remote parts in Mexico, reaching 100Mbps/30Mbps throughput per site. Mx-DMA is the industry’s most efficient and dynamic return technology that will enable AXESS to seamlessly share satellite capacity very efficiently among their terminals, while satisfying the most demanding throughput requirements in markets such as cellular backhaul, trunking and high-end enterprise. This patented waveform technology delivers the highest quality connectivity experience for end-users, and will empower AXESS to offer the widest range of cellular backhaul applications to expand their market share.
