iDirect is an equipment manufacturer ( Link to iDirect ) that sets the highest standard of satellite hardware for business grade service using voice (VoIP phone), video and data transmission. Ground Control’s iDirect service offers second to none performance on a shared system by utilizing iDirect’s patented Deterministic Time Division Multiple Access (D-TDMA ) and Multi Frequency Time Division Multiple Access (MF-TDMA) technologies. Our automated systems ensure that traffic is balanced across all carriers on the satellite network to increase the amount of bandwidth AND increase the security since traffic is changing frequency up to 8 times per second. iDirect’s payload efficiency is approximately 98% - this is significantly higher than the 60% efficiency offered by similar solutions. Less overhead on the satellite means more bandwidth available on a shared channel. Reasons to Choose Ground Control.

| Choosing a satellite dish will be dependent on which satellite you are connecting to, your location, and your transmission speed requirements. Dish sizes range from 1.2 Meter, 1.8M, 2.4M & 3.8M (square meter) sizes. A satellite dish includes the feed horn, but not the radio (transmitter and receiver). We offer national & international VSAT installation services. |
|
|
| The BUC (Block Up Converter) is the transmitter of the satellite dish. The smaller LNB (Low Noise Block) is the receiver. BUC's are rated in transmitting wattage ranging from 3 Watt, 4, 6, 8, 16, all the way to 400 watts, which is often used for broadcast quality video streaming. Depending on your use, dish size and installation location will determine the best size BUC for your satellite dish. |
