X1 Web iSite
• Web-based iSite for remote commissioning• No need for PC client on the installers laptop
• Streamlined information• Dashboard• Status – Modem, IP, Ethernet and Events• Commissioning – Angle calculator, antenna pointing & cross-pol• Admin – Options files
New web interface for easier installation
Narrowband XLC-M License
• Optimal support for networks with a large number of small return channels• New Multi-channel demod Narrowband license• Supports up to sixteen 128ksps return channels• Existing XLC-M line card
• Benefits• Increases hub scalability – single hub, thousands of
remotes• Optimized for small return channels• Reduces cost per remote site • Limits power and bandwidth required at remote site
with smaller antennas and more affordable ODU
QoS Enhancements Benefits
• Reduces bandwidth to keep idle remotes in network• Improves efficiency while maintaining network reliability• Do not have to reacquire into network like sleep mode• Guaranteed SLAs
iDX 3.1 Summary
• New cost-effective, compact, and low-power remotes
• New web interface for easier installation• Improved Return Channel Economics with a
narrowband line card• Non-contention based for improved efficiency
and network reliability
Leverage your iDirect infrastructure for large, narrowband applications

iDX 3.2Highlights
iDX 3.2 & X7: XPECT MORE!
• Network Control and Efficiency • Adaptive TDMA returns• Outbound DVB-S2 roll off enhancement
• Performance with X7 • Significant increase in performance• High end features for demanding use cases
Adaptive TDMAOverview
• Before Inroute Groups (IRG) consisted of homogeneous carriers
• In iDX 3.2 IRG can consist of heterogeneous carriers
• Benefits• Enables terminals to achieve their max speed• No need to assume the worst case scenario• Greater dynamic range in network design
• Different symbol rates• Different MODCODs• Different SS factors
Adaptive TDMAHigher Control and Efficiency
•Optimize network performance in any condition• Up to three dynamic “profiles” or compositions
• Clear sky• Fade • Heavy fade (a safety net)
•Benefits• Margin is converted to bandwidth efficiency• Availability is maintained via dynamic profiles• Unprecedented control to fulfill SLAs
Outbound EnhancementReduced Roll Off Factor
• New, selectable roll-off factor• Options include 5%, 10%, 15% and
20% (existing)• Dependent on carrier size
• Example: 36MHz Transponder• Increase usable symbol rate by 4Msps
• Benefits• 10Mbps gains in IP throughput in 36 MHz TXP• Up to 13% gain in outbound throughput for <36 MHz

Introducing X7“The Need for Speed”
• Insatiable demand for connectivity• “Enterprises, organizations and consumers are devouring
satellite bandwidth as quickly as service provides can deliver it.” -Simon Bull, COMSYS, Sep’12
• Noticeable in key applications• Cruise & Super-Yacht• Off-Shore Drilling • Macrocells• Mining
• More bandwidth intensive applications • Demand for more bandwidth continues to grow

Next generation remote optimized for mobile, enterprise grade, bandwidth intensive applications
Improved PPS
iDX 3.2 Launch Plan
• iDX 3.2.0 – (Limited Availability Release)• Support for X7• HLC support limited to XLC-10/ XLC-M• Heterogeneous carriers, 1 composition group
• iDX 3.2.1 – (GA Release)• Extend support to all Evolution remotes• Extend support to XLC-11, eMxDx HLCs• Expand from 1 to 3 composition groups
• iDX 3.2.2 – (GA Release)• X7 support for SCPC Return and 2nd Demod
iDX 3.2 Summary
• Performance• Enable terminals to achieve their max speed• Fuel bandwidth intensive applications
• Refined Network Control• Margin is converted to bandwidth efficiency• Availability maintained via dynamic profiles• More control to achieve SLAs
• Success is Yours• More throughput enables higher performance services• Opens up new revenue streams • Greater efficiencies means lower bandwidth costs
