Introduced in January, DataSat II is Stratos‘ most recent application-centric SCADA VSAT solution. Based on Gilat‘s high-performance SkyEdge VSAT platform, it offers TCP acceleration, VPN, QoS, high inbound data rates, improved access scheme and modulations to maximize the performance of IP or serial-based SCADA, remote monitoring, and intranet applications. It also is positioned to support VoIP applications. DataSat II from Stratos supports applications for data collection and monitoring of remote assets — including utility substations and oil or gas pipelines. Stratos also offers enhanced IP or serial polling and 24×7 network monitoring from its Denver Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC is staffed with trained, SCADA-network experienced operators who ensure the highest possible network availability and provide specific insight for SCADA applications.
