Description

iDirect Evolution Series 15152 Satellite HUB – 5 IF, 20-Slot (Used) Carrier-Grade Evolution HUB | Decommissioned from Live Teleport Service

We are offering a used iDirect Evolution Series 15152 Satellite HUB, configured with 5 IF and a 20-slot chassis, professionally decommissioned from a live teleport environment at Telesat’s Mount Jackson facility.

This HUB was owned and operated by us from new and remained in continuous live service until only a few weeks ago. It was removed solely as part of a planned network transition, not due to any performance, reliability, or operational issues. Throughout its service life, the system delivered stable, carrier-grade performance.

The HUB was carefully dismantled and export-crated to industry standards and is currently in stock at our Florida facility, still in its original crate and available for immediate inspection and shipment.
