IDL Solution Connects Local Systems to Satellites for Emergency Communications
Jul 02, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Available from Dallas-based IDL, the Multi-Exchange Unit (MXU 2000R) is a multi-channel satellite communications interface that can connect groups of users in fixed or isolated locations such as buildings, islands, constructions sites, oil and gas fields, and is often used as a backup or a first responder emergency system when landlines and cellular towers fail.
"The MXU is the best solution for reliable backup communications for companies and organizations that require 24x7 emergency communications services, conduct communications with remote locations, or use their own private communications network," said Peter Gerard, president of IDL. "We are proud to be a provider of this advanced, potentially life-saving system for a variety of users."
Currently, IDL's MXU system is in use within numerous Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals, regional health care systems and throughout various corporations concerned with anytime-anywhere communications with field employees such as TMC Design and Raytheon. The MXU connects PBXs, public switched telephone networks and telephones to the Iridium global satellite system and is often used for communications in remote locations.
The MXU allows organizations to integrate their fixed- or field-base communications network with their emergency field communications network, and with other emergency base locations. For critical situations, the MXU and the Iridium network are often times the only solution.
The system's channels allow simultaneous inbound or outbound calls, and also connection via a standard analog phone to anyone on the Iridium Satellite network and to normal landline or cellular phones.
IDL specializes in providing Iridium-based communications solutions to government and private sector clients.
