The need for global cellular communication is rapidly increasing as nations industrialize and expand, yet millions of people throughout the world have limited or no access to cellular services.  Bringing communications to remote areas of the world presents an opportunity to expand cellular networks and to acquire millions of new customers. The problem lies in the cost of deploying remote cellular systems where limited terrestrial infrastructure exists.  Satellite is an obvious means of overcoming geographic constraints; however SCPC or other dedicated satellite links are not cost effective means of backhauling cellular traffic due to the calling patterns of users concentrated to certain hours. iDirect's unique IP based solution allows carriers to share network capacity across multiple locations reducing bandwidth costs and expanding their coverage to regions where it was previously unprofitable.
