iDirect Technologies and Envivio announced Wednesday a strategic technology relationship to increase the efficiency of satellite bandwidth used for the distribution of IP-based digital video, voice and data services.
Envivio has joined iDirect's IP Alliance program after undergoing thorough interoperability testing. The program offers broadcast and enterprise communities proven and comprehensive networking solutions that compliment their current networking strategy and extend it beyond the constraints of the wired world.
"The IP Alliance has assembled members like Envivio who are committed to delivering best-of-class solutions to the enterprise community," said John Kealey, president and CEO, iDirect Technologies. "These strategic technology relationships continue to help our customers better utilize their existing bandwidth and generate more bits per megahertz."
iDirect Technologies works closely with IP Alliance members to promote the interoperability of its technology with industry leading networking companies to extend full turnkey enterprise class solutions to locations where terrestrial connections are unavailable, take too long to implement and/or are too costly.
"The enhanced capability of the iDirect platform combined with our highly efficient Envivio MPEG-4 encoding and decoding systems, will enable groundbreaking applications and unlock new opportunities for operators offering satellite broadband distribution networks," said Julien Signes, president and CTO of Envivio.
"Delivering more information using less bandwidth improves the viability and profitability of IP-based services."
