For any Ku-Band iDirect Satellite System Running iDirect Series Satellite Routers - Router list
Also Available for Ground Control's line of Fixed and Mobile Ku-Band iDirect Satellite Systems
Ground Control offers unshared dedicated data channels over satellite link to the Internet backbone through our Teleport. These unshared channels are perfect for reliable streaming of video or other large data transmissions over satellite from any location in North America. Since the satellite channel is unshared, speeds are predictable and reliable for any use. Best of all, there is no overhead processes, which means if you purchase 4Mbps, you will see 4Mbps speeds*. Finally, if you have multiple satellite systems at different locations, you can place any or all of them on the same CIR On-Demand network at no additional cost (great for multi-camera solutions).
* Speeds are guaranteed for the satellite link portion to the Internet backbone. Once a data session leaves the teleport, it is subject to the path of the public Internet, and the client's link to the backbone. We recommend testing the terrestrial link to our teleport for speed limitations prior to an event. |
 High-Speed Dedicated On-Demand service can be activated normally within 1 hour of request
Speeds are Guaranteed. If you purchase 4Mbps upload, you will see 4Mbps upload*.
Dedicated On-Demand Service can be used for any application. There are no restrictions.
Multiple satellite systems anywhere may share the same channel. An instant private network.

Place 1 or 50 satellite systems onto the same Dedicated On-Demand package. Simply have the serial numbers available for each iDirect gateway, and Ground Control will create a private satellite network in minutes. Place maximum speed limits on each of the client sites for added control. There is no additional cost for adding additional client sites to the purchased service.
Shared services are Ground Control's standard iDirect plans that have a contention ratio between 10:1 and 20:1, meaning the connection is shared with 10 to 20 other customers. If you're streaming at 40% of the maximum upload speed, you're fairly safe, however, stability of the data stream can not be guaranteed.
Unshared service (or Dedicated) is exactly that... You own the channel for 3 to 24 hour blocks and speeds are absolutely predictable. Unshared service is much more expensive, and is the reason we sell it in 3 or 24 hour blocks.
We recommend anyone interested in streaming video to try our standard shared iDirect plans for normal testing and non-critical video steaming... Then, when an important event is scheduled, activate the dedicated service for rock solid predictable speeds to the Internet backbone. |
