Station 53 vs. DVB [Digital Video Broadcast] 

Station 53 does not have the constraints DVB imposes. As an example, through a 500K satellite capacity Station 53 can get a TCP/IP speed of 530K. With the same satellite capacity over a DVB network the TCP/IP throughput is only 385K. With Station 53, transported cells are sized variably depending on the size of the IP packet instead of having to conform to fixed sized cells.

DVB is the old satellite based standard that was primarily designed to use in broadcast video applications. iDirect has pioneered TCP/IP over satellite technology to ensure the most efficient use of satellite bandwidth. As demand for IP over satellite continues to grow Station 53 offers IP services at a lower cost, at the same time provides world class service with all the TCP/IP enhancements over satellite to its customers. 
Station 53 along with iDirect provides an industry leading solution allowing networks to simultaneously support data, voice and video traffic. This system delivers unparalleled features and functionality which guarantees VoIP quality. We also supports H.323 or SIP compliant VoIP solutions.
