MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching):
MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).




Ethernet Access to the Internet from your Local Area Network (LAN)
Connect your business local area network (LAN) to the Internet using the same protocol that operates on your LAN: Ethernet. This increasingly popular Internet access solution makes it easy to connect all of the computers on your LAN at your company to the Internet with minimal configuration and cost.

A major feature of Internet over Ethernet is the ease in which you can upgrade from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Simply call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask for an upgrade and it can be provisioned almost in real time. This service is the future of Internet access for the foreseable future.




Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL):
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet. The downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps. The main limitation on bandwidth speeds available is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

 History of DIRECTV

Written by: Rick Taylor - Jan 8, 2009


Headquartered in El Segundo, California, DIRECTV is the leading digital satellite service provider in the United States and provides HD Satellite TV service to over 17 million subsribers. The following is a rough summary of its impressive history:

Before 1984, satellites could carry only one communication channel per each transponder which limited satellites to a maximum of 24-32 communication channels per satellite - not enough bandwidth to support a commercially viable broadcasting system that could compete with established cable TV companies.

By 1984, Hughes had developed very high power satellites that could use digital compression (MPEG 2) standards that, for the first time, allowed multiple digital television channels to be sent through each individual satellite frequency. Hughes was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use their newly-developed technology to construct a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) network.

In 1990, Hughes Electronics launched its DBS network, founded DIRECTV, and landed over one million satellite TV subscribers by the end of that year.

A DIRECTV/USSB partnership was formed in 1991, as DIRECTV's parent company, Hughes Electronics partnered with United States Satellite Broadcasting (USSB). USSB agreed to purchase 5 transponders aboard the future DIRECTV DBS-1 satellite to broadcast premium movie and pay per view offerings.

In 1993, a Hughes satellite was launched at the 101 degree west satellite location. This DBS-1, a high powered commercial satellite, carried a payload of 16 circularly polarized DBS Ku band transponders, each broadcasting at 120 watts per transponder. The new DIRECTV system quickly became one of the hottest-selling consumer electronics products of the year in 1994.

In the fall of 1994, a second DIRECTV satellite, DBS-2, was launched. This satellite enabled expansion of DIRECTV's programming to nearly 150 channels. In comparison, cable vision systems at that time offered an average of only 30 analog channels.

In the summer of 1994, DIRECTV introduced digital direct to home satellite service that was delivered via a small 18" satellite dish and set top receiver and offered two satellite services: (1) DIRECTV's delivery of most of the cable vision favorite channels and network feeds, and (2) USSB's delivery of premium services such as movie channels, such as HBO and Showtime, as well as pay-per-view sports.

By 1998, DIRECTV had over 4 million subscribers and purchased its partner, USSB, for over $1.3 billion. The acquisition provided DIRECTV customers with access to USSB's premier movie broadcasting and increased channel selection from 185 to 210. In July, DIRECTV invested $250 million in XM satellite radio.

In 1999, DIRECTV acquired Primestar, Inc. and its 2.3 million subscribers. As part of the deal, DIRECTV secured Primestar's satellite assets (11 transponders and two satellites) which added high-powered DBS frequencies to provide full coverage of the continental United States. In addition to the Primestar acquisition, DIRECTV launched a new satellite of its own, DIRECTV-1R on October 10, 1999.

In 2003, DIRECTV introduced a new high-definition video recorder jointly engineered by DIRECTV and Tivo as well as a second-generation set top box model through a partnership with Philips.

On November 11, 2003, DIRECTV added its 12 millionth subscriber.

DIRECTV currently has over 17 million subscribers and remains the top United States consumer satellite provider as it continues to expand its offerings through high-definition and entertainment packages such as NFL SUNDAY TICKET and TOTAL CHOICE® Mobile programming.
