Vizada Networks is set to unveil its new connectivity services based on the implementation of an iDirect hub at its established facility on East Africa’s coast, Vizada announced Aug. 25.
Vizada said the services will be based on its next-generation shared connectivity solution, Viznet Dynamic, and are designed to enable Internet connectivity to and from towns and villages in Tanzania, where terrestrial telecom infrastructure may not exist.

The service will use iDirect DVB-S2/ACM satellite technology in addition to Vizada Networks’ proprietary technology to deliver secure broadband connection regardless of location or local environment. The service also uses small, easy to deploy Ku-band antennas that require low upfront investment in equipment.
“The new services for Tanzania and east coast Africa may be utilized as a reliable primary connection or dependable, cost-effective solution to enhance terrestrial networks.
To ensure reliability and availability for all users, the service provides 100 percent guaranteed committed information rate and a guaranteed maximum contention based on the service plan and a maximum information rate that is distributed to all users through the Fair Use Policy,” Vizada said in a company statement.
