Satellite – bringing you up to speed for 3G and 4G rural coverage
iDirect Satellite Backhaul
• Over 55 mobile backhaul networks in operation
Small Cell Deployments
• Advanced optimization capabilities provide the most efficient voice and data solution over satellite
• Validated with major mobile equipment vendors including Huawei, Ericsson…
Voice Networks
High-speed LTE networks
• SCF Release 5 – Small cells escape the city! • Rural locations, villages, isolated properties • Remote industrial sites – mines, drilling rigs, M2M • Ships, Planes, Trains… • Military and first responder drop-in networks
Satellite for Rural and Remote Small Cells
On the Ground At Sea In the Air
• Rural sites represent a huge market opportunity for mobile operators and vendors • Push for universal mobile broadband coverage cross
the world • But can satellite really be a viable solution ?
• Too much delay, too slow, poor quality…
Rural Small Cells – Satellite in the Mainstream ?
• First: Use carrier class satellite systems • Consumer grade service ≠ Cellular grade service
• Second: Use intelligent backhaul
• Speed is not enough • User experience is what wins customers
iDirect SatHaul™ - What’s the Deal ?
• Hardware and software designed to meet operator SLAs for availability, QoS etc. • Doesn’t go slow at busy times, or in the rain! • Isn’t configured to squeeze-in users until it
breaks • Compatible with cellular environment • Power efficient – economic solar capability
What do we mean by Carrier Class ?
• Need for speed ? • No problem even with our entry level X1 product
• >100 Mbit/s and TCP Acceleration for 3G / LTE • These are ‘must have’ capabilities, but alone aren’t
enough to deliver ‘terrestrial equivalent experience’
What do we mean by Intelligent Backhaul ?
• Need for intelligence ? • Voice traffic in 1/8th the normal capacity for Iuh, local
switching, codec forcing, paging optimization… • Data traffic compressed & optimized • Signaling traffic compressed & optimized – fast
VoLTE call set-up… • IPSec support to meet security requirements
What do we mean by Intelligent Backhaul ?
iDirect SatHaul™ - What Does It Take ?
Low cost, low power, outdoor small cell
Optimized outdoor satellite router
High capacity, lower cost satellite bandwidth
Intelligent backhaul to the core network
• iDirect supplies Inmarsat, Panasonic, GoGo… • Market leader for mobility solutions • Defined the industry standards – OpenAMIP • Invented beam switching between satellites • Deployed with leading small cell vendors
And for Ships, Planes & Trains ?
• Cells on Wheels, Network in a box… • Can’t guarantee that an event or disaster will occur
within convenient reach of fiber or microwave… • Satellite can reach just about anywhere • Auto-deploy antennas and man-pack satellite links
Temporary and Emergency Coverage
• Small cells and Macro cells – 2G / 3G / LTE serving rural, remote, moving & temporary sites
• High-speed, efficient and economic backhaul from anywhere
• Terrestrial-like experience through use of intelligent optimization
