    The OpenAMIP protocol was developed by iDirect in 2006 as an open-source standard to facilitate integration between VSAT routers and stabilized antennas from different manufacturers (1). OpenAMIP allows routers to command antennas for automatic beam switching as vessels move between satellite footprints, enabling continuous connectivity (2). It also allows meeting regulations by commanding antennas to mute in no-transmit zones (3).

    OpenAMIP Overview

    The use of VSAT technology for mobility applications has expanded greatly in the past five
    years. During this period of growth new advances were developed to make it easier to
    implement a VSAT solution.

    One of the early challenges for VSAT networks was the fact that the manufacturers of VSAT
    infrastructure equipment were separate companies from those that produced stabilized
    VSAT antennas. This meant that custom integration work often needed to be done by a
    service provider or network integrator to make sure that the components of a solution
    offered to a maritime customer would work as designed. After extensive work was
    undertaken between iDirect and several leading stabilized antenna manufacturers to make
    their systems interoperate iDirect developed the OpenAMIP protocol in 2006 as an industry-
    wide open-source standard for antenna-router integration.

    OpenAMIP is an IP based protocol that facilitates the exchange of information between an


    Antenna Controller Unit and a satellite router. It allows the router to command the antenna
    and enables the use of Automatic Beam Switching (ABS), which transfers connectivity from
    one satellite beam to the next as a vessel passes through multiple footprints. In addition,
    OpenAMIP and ABS enable service providers and their customers to meet government
    regulations by commanding the antenna to mute the signal in no transmit zones.

    iDirect has since integrated the open source code into its mobility VSAT platform, and has
    established a formalized qualification program for satellite antenna manufacturers. The
    OpenAMIP protocol eliminates the need for proprietary coding to make new antennas or
    routers introduced into the market work together. And it allows maritime organizations to
    choose from a wider selection of hardware to best suit their needs.

    iDirect is antenna agnostic and our platform is designed to work with all major stabilized
    VSAT manufacturers products. The following is a list of supported manufacturers that have
    adopted the OpenAMIP protocol and qualified their respective products with iDirect.
    Numerous additional manufacturers are currently in the implementation and testing phase to
    receive qualification.
