ST Engineering iDirect has unveiled its next-generation ground system, Intuition, at this year’s SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition in Washington D.C. Intuition aims to improve the speed, scale, cost and flexibility of service delivery amidst the satellite industry’s ongoing transformation to empower a connected tomorrow.
An advanced satellite networking ground system that combines breakthroughs with ST Engineering iDirect’s industry-best technologies, Intuition is built on five core capabilities: virtualized, cloud-based infrastructure; intelligent, multi-orbit support; standards-based network convergence; end-to-end orchestration; and flexible go-to-market strategies.
Don Claussen, CEO at ST Engineering iDirect, said: “We’ve listened intently to our customers’ needs and ambitions. Intuition represents the point where everything comes together – its goal is to constantly learn and anticipate, to understand every aspect of what’s happening inside the network, and to make the right decisions at every step in this increasingly complex environment.”
Intuition will expand operators’ and providers’ market reach and maximise their growth, standardise and automate their operations, and provide a runway to future opportunities, all while bringing forward the renowned iDirect portfolio of industry-best capabilities to ensure a seamless connectivity experience.
Claussen added: “There are billions of dollars in new service revenues at stake in the coming years, driven by new applications, pricing models, and the promise of telco convergence. The most significant opportunities are achievable only to those who are dedicated to the same digital journey that transformed cellular and wireless industries – interoperability in a global, multi-domain, cloud-enabled, standards-based telecom model. This open mindset is the path we believe moves the industry past its traditional growth constraints and delivers the maximum financial return possible on strategic space and ground investments.”
