iDirect X1 for Europe, Africa and Middle East and Americas

In addition to traditional broadband satellite internet access and VoIP, the new router is also well suited to utility networks, remote meter reading and smart meter control, remote control and monitoring, weather stations, SCADA, cash machines, governmental and military.  The router is low power and with its DC input option ideal for solar panel/battery operations. The router is available both for indoor use and also in a IP67 weatherproof box for external pole mounting or similar, at unmanned locations.
