BT Latam Colombia Selects iDirect Platform To Support Government Initiative To Connect National Housing Bureaus

Network to speed data integration, unite remote facilities stationed across Colombia

Herndon, Va.,– VT iDirect, Inc. (iDirect), a company of VT Systems Inc (VT Systems) and a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology, announced that its satellite communications platform was chosen by BT Latam Colombia to support a high-speed IP satellite network that will enable the Colombian government to improve the collection and management of real estate property records.

BT Latam Colombia, a division of BT Group plc and a leading provider of communications services in Latin America, will manage a network of more than 60 iDirect iNFINITI 3100 Series Satellite Routers installed throughout Colombia. The new network will bring broadband connectivity to local government bureaus located beyond the reach of terrestrial lines, better enabling remote agency offices to integrate time-sensitive information directly into the country’s national property database. Longer term, the Colombian government plans to expand the use of the network to support VoIP and Web access applications for remote offices.

“In Colombia’s developing economy, broader access to business information is critical to sustainable growth. The versatility of iDirect’s platform makes it the ideal solution to expand broadband connectivity to remote locations while supporting a range of data, voice and Internet applications.”
