iDirect has announced a new contract with ScopeTel. The contract includes the purchase of an iDirect Series 15000 Universal Hub, Web Optimizer and multiple iNFINITI 3000 and iNFINITI 5000 Series Satellite Routers. ScopeTel will consolidate its current customer networks onto iDirect's satellite communications platform in an effort to increase bandwidth efficiency and simplify network management.

The operator will replace its Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) systems with a shared Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) platform and integrate customer networks that span multiple topologies and vertical markets, including the maritime, oil and gas, enterprise, government and education sectors.

In addition, ScopeTel plans to leverage the iDirect platform to support virtual network operators (VNOs) across Southeast Asia that are seeking to establish private satellite networks in the region.

"By standardizing on the iDirect platform, ScopeTel is able to reduce its operating expenses and expand into growing markets through critical new functionality. This important decision is a strategic investment in the future of our business." - En. Abdul Rahman SHAKOR. President and CEO, ScopeTel Sdn. Bhd.

"ScopeTel serves an array of industries that are vital to the region's prosperity. iDirect looks forward to helping ScopeTel expand its services and contribute to the economic growth of Malaysia and Southeast Asia." - Richard ALWANI. Sales Director, South East Asia, iDirect
