ST Engineering iDirect’s iQ Series satellite modems have been integrated into the FUSION product line of mobile and fixed satellite internet solutions provider IP Access International, the company announced Sept. 2. 

FUSION uses iQ LTE satellite modem, which features an integrated LTE cellular modem, to create a solution that automatically finds and connects to all available networks including LTE, 4G/5G and multiple satellite networks. ST Engineering iDirect said this delivers reliable data communication for different use cases where the physical path redundancy is critical. A hybrid approach may benefit markets like government and emergency response, oil and gas, mobile banking, and disaster recovery. 

IP Access International CEO Bryan Hill commented: “The iQ LTE modem and IP Access FUSION integration is a solution that enables customers to cost-effectively bring highly available and reliable connectivity to end users, opening up new business opportunities. The value of the IP Access solution lies in its integrated design which removes the need for multiple rack units, addressing space constraints in confined command vehicles.”
