Scopus, through its distribution network in Russia, has completed the first
three phases of the project and installed platforms across thousands of sites

reach completion over the next few years.

receivers that have undergone Russian certification. The IRD-2600 is a
professional receiver-decoder, rich in a variety of video, audio and

capability. The platform is fully supported by Scopus' IVN(TM) system
