Increased Mobility and Multi-Orbit Functionality: Industry-leading mobility applications are further improved with even faster beam mapping for optimized beam selection. The introduction of domain-based automatic beam switching (D-ABS) ensures seamless, flexible network changes, while a new unified satellite tracking solution enhances multi-orbit operations.
Best-in-class Technologies: Intuition integrates ST Engineering iDirect's trusted innovations including Global Bandwidth Management (GBWM), enabling customers to differentiate their service offerings with optimized service level agreements a key feature for global operators.
Investment Protection: Customers can leverage journey-enabled infrastructure and modems to evaluate the lifecycle of their current technology, making informed decisions about adoption strategies and assuring future success.
No two customers will use Intuition the same way, said Don Claussen, CEO at ST Engineering iDirect. This initial release is a critical first step that empowers our customers to plan more effectively and rapidly integrate Intuition within their unique network environments. We're committed to working with our customers to develop tailored strategies that maximize the return on their investments, ensuring long-term growth in today's competitive landscape.
