On May 12, iDirect Government<\/a> (iDirectGov), a provider of satellite communications to the military and government, announced the release of the 450 Rackmount (RM) software-defined modem (SDM) that delivers resilient and secure connectivity across theatres, airspace and all mission phases.<\/p>\n

The 450RM operates on iDirectGov\u2019s Evolution Defense, Viasat GX, SES Flex and DVB-S2X networks, as well as the military-standard 188\/165B Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem (EBEM). It supports operations across geostationary (GEO), highly elliptical (HEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations, while maintaining the highest security standards.<\/p>\n

Designed for space-constricted environments, the half-rack unit allows two 450RMs to be mounted side-by-side in the rack, minimizing rack space requirements while providing a protected, durable form factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 450RM is resilient, secure and flexible to suit our troops\u2019 satellite communications at the tactical edge,\u201d said Tim Winter, iDirectGov president. \u201cIts multi-technology architecture delivers optimized performance and efficient operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 450RM is powered by the 4\u2011Series SDM architecture, which integrates iDirectGov\u2019s Communication Signal Interference Removal (CSIR) technology and a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-140-3 Level 3 approved Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Cryptographic engine for secure, resilient communications. This architecture enables a TRANSEC\u2011compliant network design that exceeds U.S. government standards and delivers high\u2011quality voice, video and data across contested environments.<\/p>\n
