High-speed, High-performance IP Broadband Connectivity

Designed specifically to support business-critical applications, the Evolution X5 is a next-generation satellite router ideally suited for broadband applications such as enterprise connectivity, cellular backhaul, maritime, secure banking, and other mobile applications.

The Evolution X5 features iDirect’s highly efficient implementation of the DVB-S2 standard with Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) on the outbound carrier. Along with deterministic MF-TDMA technology and 2D 16-State FEC on the inbound, the Evolution X5 maximizes the efficiency of satellite capacity to enable new opportunities.

FEATURES

Supports topologies : Star and SCPC-return* upstream channels

2 modes of operation : iNFINITI and DVB-S2/ACM outbound

Next-generation, extremely efficient 2D 16-State inbound coding

Advanced QoS and traffic prioritization

Optional Spread Spectrum waveform technology supports very small antennas

Optional AES 256-bit encryption

GREATER FLEXIBILITY

The Evolution X5 offers dual-mode operation between iNFINITI TDM or DVB-S2/ACM on the outbound, providing more flexibility for network design and bandwidth optimization. Whether initially deploying a DVB-S2 network or starting off with an iNFINITI network that is capable of being upgraded to an Evolution DVB-S2 network in the future, the Evolution X5 adapts to a customer’s changing requirements. With over-the-air software licensing features that can add data encryption and spread spectrum capabilities, operators are allowed even more flexibility to customize the Evolution X5 to meet their technical and budget requirements.

INCREASED EFFICIENCY WITH SUPERIOR QUALITY OF SERVICE

iDirect’s sophisticated Group QoS advanced traffic prioritization dynamically balances the demands of different applications according to their needs and bandwidth availability, across multiple sites and user sub-networks. When combining the Group QoS feature set with DVB-S2/ACM, service providers can increase DVB-S2 efficiency gains by combining multiple small networks into a single, larger carrier. Additional configurations, service pricing models, and reporting capabilities allow service providers to translate ACM benefits into new revenue-generating service offerings.

GREATER MOBILITY

Leading spread spectrum technology enables use of ultra small and phased-array antennas on aircrafts, ships, and land based vehicles. The Evolution X5 is fully enabled for iDirect’s Global Network Management System (GNMS) and Automatic Beam Switching (ABS) technology allowing for a seamless network with truly global coverage.

The Evolution X5’s ovenized oscillator allows for operating in environments with steep temperature changes, making it ideal for outdoor or mobile applications like cellular backhaul and maritime.

SIMPLE INTUITIVE NETWORK MANAGEMENT

The Evolution X5 Series is easily configured, monitored, and controlled through the iVantageTM network management system, a complete suite of software-based tools for configuring, monitoring and controlling networks from one location.
