Integrasys revealed Dec. 17 that local telecom and satcom provider MSTelcom has successfully deployed a large network across Angola, with connectivity supported by ST Engineering iDirect‘s Evolution platform. Integrasys’ Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Auto-Commissioning tool, Satmotion Pocket — which enhances the delivery, commissioning, and maintenance of VSAT services — was used during the deployment.

Additionally, MSTelecom uses Integrasys’ Alusat, a VSAT Network Maintenance System, which helps the company manage remote sites and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

ST Engineering iDirector Sales Director, Africa, Hannes Hattingh commented: “The iDirect Evolution platform is designed to work with third party systems that support and enable faster, accurate and cost-effective deployment of remotes. Satmotion Pocket is optimized for use on Evolution and streamlines the commissioning process, enabling installers to autonomously line-up antennas and eliminating the need for hub-side coordination and back-channel communications. Post installation, the Alusat system enables MSTelcom to centrally monitor all their VSATs to ensure optimal performance.”
