…WORK Microwave‘s DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP with XipLink‘s XA family of scalable appliances. The combination of these technologies will deliver a wide range of wireless link optimization solutions enabling more efficient bandwidth usage and traffic prioritization across network layers for end-users. The WORK Microwave DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP features OptiACM, the multichannel ACM system, to support full integration of ACM capabilities in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint satellite network links. OptiACM compensates for disturbances in the satellite link, caused by physical conditions such as humidity and atmospheric precipitation, through real-time adaptation of transmission parameters according to link conditions. Because the OptiACM feature is embedded in the DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP, it is able to receive feedback from the receiver side and instantaneously change the modulation to ensure the best possible usage of available bandwidth, without the need for any additional equipment.
Combining WORK Microwave’s signal optimization expertise with XipLink’s suite of traffic optimization technologies provides several advantages to service providers, corporate networks, and telcos. A key benefit is to enable real-time bandwidth availability by running XipLink’s traffic-shaping QoS function via WORK Microwave’s DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP ACM feature to communicate openly across network layers and to provide users with an advanced, reliable way to optimize throughput and increase the available amount of bandwidth. This combination eliminates the need to pre-set often inaccurate minimum and maximum data rates to produce more effective traffic prioritization, depending on available bandwidth, for the end user. This process is calculated in real time by WORK Microwave’s ACM feature, which can also determine the minimum and maximum data rates for each content type and has the capability to handle up to 100 QoS classes.
At the core of XipLink’s Optimization Software (XipOS) lies its SCPS-TP-based (Satellite Communication Protocol Standards) TCP acceleration solution, designed to fill the wireless link automatically to maximum capacity while simultaneously guaranteeing packet delivery in the event of data corruption or loss. Additionally, the XipLink Real-Time (XRT) optimization capability compresses, coalesces, and prioritizes VOIP and UDP for as much as a 50 percent bandwidth savings and packet efficiency without compromising quality.
