IDirect’s iDX3.1 software integrates INFINITI and Evolution into a powerful and versatile platform that not only provides unmatched bandwidth efficiency with DVB/S2/ACM , but also offers a wide array of applications to choose from.

Evolution has built-in DVB-S2 with adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) technology that helps IsoTropic to cut down on its operating expenses by maximizing on the segmentation space. The new platform also allows users to switch between TDMA and SCPC depending on the dynamic bandwidth requirements.

Other key features of the iDX3.1 are a new compact and low-power Evolution X1 remote with optional IP67 weatherproof casting, a new 16-channel narrow-band license for the XLC-M line card, BUC and LNB bundle, and QoS enhancements for large scale network optimization.
