iDirect Finds Satellite Communications to be a Growing Trend

By Nick Ruble, TMCnet Contributing Writer

Recent studies conducted by iDirect (News - Alert) show 60 percent of utilities to be taking advantage of satellite communications in one way or another. Through the Strategic Assessment of Satellite Usage in the Utility Industry study, came a wider understanding of exactly how satellite communication technologies are being used.

Aside from the 60 percent of utilities currently implementing some kind of satellite communications, the study also found that over 20 percent of industry leaders are planning on integrating similar technologies in the near future. Since a study of this sort hasn’t been conducted any time in the immediate past, a decent amount of misconceptions based on outdated technologies were cleared up as well.

iDirect is among the most prestigious of satellite-based IP communications providers. These surveys will benefit not only the company in a large way, but also the overall quality of like products on the market.

The studies also showed the top benefit of satellite technology to be extensive provision of coverage along with its unrivaled security. Common claims that this type of service comes with high cost and latency were found to have been based on previous experiences with legacy technology. However, surveys showed that nearly 80 percent of utilities were interested in exploring more up to date VSAT systems.

Toni Rudnicki, chief marketing officer at iDirect, stated, “With the majority of utilities already invested in some form of satellite technology, and a significant percentage planning to add satellite in the next two years, this study reveals a huge opportunity for VSAT solutions to help shape the future of the utility industry.”

Findings undoubtedly show an increase in VSAT awareness within the utility industry. That said, the distribution of reliable next-generation satellite technology is in high demand – it will likely be the next step in wireless communications for the vast majority of utilities.
