Singapore, June 19, 2007— IndosatM2 (IM2), one of the largest Internet and multimedia service providers in Indonesia, announced today that it will offer satellite broadband service over Ku-Band using a universal satellite hub from iDirect Technologies. The expanded service follows IM2’s success in providing satellite broadband service over C-Band and enables IM2 to offer satellite broadband to thousands of small and medium enterprises throughout Southeast Asia in remote and unreachable locations, as well as to the consumer market. iDirect Technologies (iDirect) is a global provider of satellite-based broadband communications solutions and a company of VT Systems Inc.

Through iDirect’s 5IF iNFINITI satellite hub, IM2 can deliver satellite broadband over Ku-Band, providing maximized bandwidth efficiency while maintaining data integrity in remote locations and tropical weather conditions. The new service provides enterprise-class backhaul communications for voice, data and video. IM2 is showcasing its satellite broadband service at CommunicAsia 2007 in Singapore, featuring a live videoconferencing demonstration at the iDirect exhibition booth #6K1-07 during exhibition hours.

“Offering broadband satellite technology enables IM2 to satisfy growing communications demands from businesses in rural and unreachable locations. IM2, one of the major Internet and multimedia service providers in Indonesia, intends to deliver broadband services to small and medium enterprises and the consumer market in Indonesia. IM2 will provide Internet and VPN services using iDirect’s VSAT over Ku-band solution, which expands the range of services that IM2 is providing to its customers.”

The iDirect satellite communications platform delivers the most cost-effective bandwidth allocation with an approximate 98 percent payload efficiency. iDirect’s “Deterministic-TDMA” allocates bandwidth among multiple remote sites based on instantaneous conditions, enabling service providers to carry more traffic. iDirect hubs can configure networks starting at 64 Kbps and scale up to 18 Mbps in 1 Kbps increments. Service providers can manage all connections from a central location through iDirect’s Network Management System (NMS).

“IM2 is extending the power of broadband communications throughout Southeast Asia and providing businesses with every option they need to stay connected. With iDirect’s universal satellite platform, service providers like IM2 can lower their operating expenses, while offering customers greater network functionality.”
