"We're looking forward to expanding our relationship with Signal Mountain," said John Kealey, President and CEO of iDirect Technologies.

"We are seeing more and more interest in hybrid networks that integrate satellite and landline connections to support worldwide enterprise offices. Signal Mountain specializes in integrating advanced networks to deploy these hybrid solutions.

"Because iDirect's technology was designed specifically for IP networking, it's the most flexible and efficient IP over satellite solution on the market. This makes it ideal for the satellite element of these types of networks."

By utilizing the iDirect remote access solution, Signal Mountain will not only be able to support full integration of satellite access into a multi-site enterprise network, they will be able to support more advanced user technology at remote locations.

Remote locations utilizing VSAT connectivity will have the same user experience as customers at all other locations.

Signal Mountain networks utilizing iDirect solutions will support VOIP, video, broadband data access, or virtually any IP centric application.

"Signal Mountain consistently utilizes the best of breed technology to support our customers' needs," said Jonathan Huffman, President of Signal Mountain.

"By integrating the iDirect VSAT on our network platform, we'll be able to assure our customers they will enjoy the same quality of service they have come to expect from Signal Mountain, regardless of how many locations they need to support, or where they are located."

The two companies will present a live demonstration at the May 4-5, 2005 Sumaq Summit in Atlanta, Georgia, highlighting their unique ability to support advanced data, voice, and video communications to Latin American and other developing economies worldwide.

IDirect And Helius Announce Strategic Technology Relationship

Lindon UT (SPX) Apr 21, 2005 iDirect Technologies and Helius have announced a strategic technology relationship to provide an evolutionary platform for the distribution of data, rich media and business information.

"This new solution is a great application of both our technologies," said John Kealey, President and CEO of iDirect Technologies.

"We're combining the satellite industry's most powerful IP networking equipment with the world's best data broadcasting solution. The resulting platform will allow our customers to deliver content anywhere with greater efficiency, and use it more effectively at these locations.

"By utilizing the iDirect remote router we are also providing these customers with a bi-directional network capable of a 4.2 Mbps return channel."

The joint iDirect-Helius solution will provide customers a comprehensive enterprise-wide data broadcast infrastructure ideal for corporate broadcasts, distance learning, digital signage, software updates, and desktop Internet access.

Data broadcasting over satellite delivers audio, video, streaming data, software programs and other digital or multimedia content to multiple locations simultaneously.

IP content is transmitted via iDirect powered satellite networks to Helius receiving devices where it is then routed for local use.

"This partnership with iDirect generates opportunity for new applications and services for additional remote locations, and more remote network availability," said Ron Heinz, President and CEO of Helius.

"By combining the strength of the Helius MediaGate Router with iDirect satellite access equipment, we'll have a business class broadcast solution head and shoulders above anything in the market today."

After complete interoperability testing, Helius joined iDirect's IP Alliance program, a partnership of companies intended to offer the enterprise community proven and comprehensive networking solutions that compliment their current networking strategy.

The two companies have rolled out their joint solution (exhibiting now at NAB 2005, April 18-25) at the Las Vegas Convention Center in iDirect's booth #C-6348 and Helius in booth #SL-4570.
