[Via Satellite 04-25-2014] TeleYemen deployed an iDirect 15152 universal hub along with 200 remotes, as part of the company’s roll-out services in Yemen. TeleYemen, with support from its local partner Samtec, will be the first company to provide iDirect-based enterprise VSAT services to customers across the Yemeni market.

The iDirect service will replace the legacy system that is currently in place. The service will use C- and Ku-band capacity to deliver services such as data provision, cellular backhaul and voice and video capabilities. The service is scheduled to launch in May 2014.

“This is the first time customers in the Yemeni market will be offered enterprise-class VSAT to meet their expectations of a seamless, high-quality service experience. The reputation of iDirect’s platform and its customer support has us confident in our ability to match these expectations,” said Abdulrahaman Almatari, technical director at TeleYemen.
