RigNet, a leading global provider of managed remote communications, systems integration and collaborative applications, has recently installed an iDirect (News - Alert) Series 5IF Universal Satellite Hub in Guaratiba, Brazil.

Installation of iDirect Series 5IF will enable Rignet to stick to its expansion strategy, by enabling the company to offer managed service for energy, deep-water maritime and remote applications such as VoIP, Internet, video-conferencing and video services.
