ViaSat LinkStarS2A VSAT System
Proves More Bandwidth Efficient With ACM and New ViaSat Technologies
Only ViaSat Offers DLA and AcceleNet®
That Enable Performance beyond Industry Standards
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 28, 2008 --
ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) is shipping its new LinkStar®
VSAT system with bandwidth-efficient Adaptive Coding and Modulation
(ACM), and is implementing additional bandwidth-saving technologies that
go beyond the industry standard. Only ViaSat offers Dynamic Link
Adaptation (DLA) and AcceleNet® IP network and
application acceleration. LinkStarS2A terminals
are already installed and operating in South America, Europe, Africa,
the U.S., Australia, and all regions of Asia.
The LinkStarS2A system improves network
performance and cuts satellite networking costs with ACM. The ACM
feature reduces satellite bandwidth requirements by up to 63% for the
downstream (hub to remotes) traffic. The DLA feature can reduce required
bandwidth by up to 18% for the upstream traffic, benefiting a large set
of applications that use flexible return link bandwidth allocations
ranging from Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) to guaranteed transfer rates and
IP Quality of Service (QoS). System download speeds of up to 126 Mbps
from the hub to remotes and remote terminal upload rates up to 4.2 Mbps
enable remote sites to be server locations, content providers,
multimedia sources, video teleconferencing participants, and corporate
headquarters.
Another ViaSat advantage is AcceleNet WAN
optimization software that accelerates LinkStar VSAT link and
application performance beyond other DVB-S2
ACM systems. AcceleNet client software is servicing millions of
users worldwide with patented compression technology and application
accelerators for the most commonly used software. The end result is
on-the-fly adjustments that maximize bandwidth savings and wide area
network performance for remote and mobile customers.
Together with ACM and the AcceleNet software client, a comprehensive set
of LinkStarS2A VSAT features enables better
performance for both enterprise networks and service providers:
-
ViaSat-exclusive Dynamic Link Adaptation (DLA) to provide operators
even more improvements in performance reliability when satellite
signal strength degrades
-
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
-
Virtual Network Operator (VNO) and traffic performance reporting tools
for providing many virtual networks from a single shared hub.
