Military satellite communications are subjected to a harsh array of environmental and operational conditions that can drastically impair the performance of the network. While satellite enables mobility, bandwidth efficiency is reduced by weather effects, interference, blockage, and high-bandwidth-delay products degrading throughput and jeopardizing mission-critical communications. SCPS overcomes the challenges associated with satellite WANs and delivers a reliable satellite communications connection in support of military missions, regardless of operating conditions. To date, military forces have found that many WAN optimization solutions are not SCPS-compliant and therefore lack the degree of interoperability desired by all military customers. Riverbed will demo the benefits of this solution at MILCOM 2008 taking place November 17 – 19, 2008 in San Diego, Calif.
