Supernet, Pakistan’s leading Data Communication Services provider has recently added SuperDirect service in its satellite communication services portfolio. SuperDirect service is based on i Direct technology, which is the latest VSAT technology in the world. Supernet launched this world class service in collaboration with MCA L.L.C, a company registered in UAE for providing satellite communication solutions. Supernet has state-of-the-art infrastructure for providing data connectivity solutions. For SuperDirect service, Supernet has deployed a unique earth station antenna at its World Trade Centre site in Karachi. The Supernet teleport at the World Trade Centre already has quite a few earth station antennas including a 9.0m and a few 3.7m C-Band antennas.

SuperDirect’s technology was built from ground-up to be optimized for IP over satellite. It is the 3rd generation VSAT technology that provides the fastest and most reliable connectivity using a satellite based 2-way broadband transmission medium. The key advantage to the SuperDirect architecture is its ability to yield more IP throughput relative to total satellite capacity. In certain configurations, the SuperDirect solution yields up to 80% higher IP throughput over the same satellite capacity when compared to some of the competitive solutions. By delivering high performance, worldwide availability, high reliability, low cost and ease of installation, the SuperDirect solution delivers all the benefits of broadband IP networks anywhere in the world via satellite.

1. Most optimized satellite based IP networking system
   
   
2. Most reliable satellite based 2-way VSAT system
   
   
3. Most efficient use of satellite capacity
   
   
4. Fastest return channel in the industry
   
   
5. TCP Optimization over satellite in BOTH directions
   
   
6. Over the SuperDirect system any TCP and IP application can and will work.

SuperDirect's VSAT solution can also be very cost effective relative to terrestrial solutions. Few of the examples are given below:

• SuperDirect is cost effective in rural and remote areas where it is very expensive to lay fiber or set up microwave towers.
  
  
• SuperDirect is cost effective when the same content, say a training video, is multicast from one central headquarters to many satellite offices.
  
  
• SuperDirect is cost effective when network capacity can be time shared among many locations, with each individual site using only a fraction of the total network capacity at any particular moment in time.

The SuperDirect solution has all the features and configuration capabilities to be used in both a high bandwidth and low bandwidth applications. The SuperDirect solution delivers all the benefits of the next generation IP network beyond the constraints of the wired world.
