HERNDON, Va., Sept. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of VT Systems, Inc. (VT Systems), today announced that Nynex has licensed iDirect's iDX 3.0 operating software to upgrade its entire global network with SCPC Return Channel and multi-channel demodulation capabilities. The upgrade enables Nynex to provide greater flexibility in bandwidth allocation by combining the advantages of TDMA and SCPC within a single network. Nynex has also expanded its coverage into South America by purchasing a 5IF hub to offer new services. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology.

Nynex's enhanced service offering will allow it to better address existing customer bandwidth requirements, while also helping differentiate its services from competitors to capture new customers. Nynex will use its upgraded network infrastructure to provide leased capacity to Virtual Network Operator (VNO) customers in the oil and gas, military, GSM mobile, and satellite news gathering markets who do not own any telecommunications infrastructure.
With iDX 3.0's SCPC Return capability, Nynex can remotely upgrade an Evolution satellite router at a customer's site to operate in TDMA or SCPC on the return channel. This enhanced flexibility enables Nynex to activate SCPC Return to support temporary heavy traffic conditions, such as sending seismic data from an oil and gas exploration site, or turn on SCPC permanently once traffic reaches a threshold where a dedicated connection is the most economical choice, such as a GSM network that has outgrown its current subscriber capacity.
"With iDirect's iDX 3.0 operating software, we can gain the efficiencies of delivering our service over a large, shared TDMA outbound channel, while being able to offer our customers dedicated SCPC bandwidth on the inbound channel. Upgrading to iDX 3.0 helps us increase our market share across critical markets in the Middle East and Africa, while also expanding the Nynex brand into South America with a new hub installation."
~Andreas BUXBAUM
CEO, NYNEX
"Nynex can now serve customers more cost-effectively with distributed, dynamic networks and adapt its service to diverse applications and needs. What's more, it's a cost-saving opportunity since the provider can leverage its existing infrastructure while expanding its capabilities with SCPC to create new revenue streams and strengthen its competitive advantage."
