(VT Systems), on Thursday announced that Network Satellite Technology Trading (NSTT), a world-class provider of communication networking technology services, has launched a new VSAT service based on iDirect's Evolution platform covering Africa and the Middle East. The provider has purchased several iDirect Universal 5IF satellite hubs, along with Evolution X3 and X5 remote routers, so it can provide a wide coverage area to customers in the region. “NSTT will also be running iDirect's latest Evolution software release, iDX 2.2, enabling it to maximize the efficiency and flexibility of its new VSAT service. iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology,” the company said in a press release. NSTT's Evolution service will deliver high-speed broadband over satellite to support a variety of customer applications including Internet, Voice over IP (VoIP) and VPN. The service will be offered over both Ku- and C-band across several satellites in Africa and the Middle East, expanding NSTT's existing coverage in these regions as well as in Asia. “By expanding its services, NSTT can meet the growing demands of existing customers including telecom providers, broadcasters, financial institutions, oil and gas companies, governmental organizations, and military agencies,” it added.
