Jack Waters, CEOThere are several internally developed algorithms in the company’s XipOS software suite. For instance, Link Balancing and Bonding (LBB), aggregates up to eight WAN links for more bandwidth while simultaneously providing traffic optimization techniques such as header/payload compression, web/byte caching and internet enhancements to drastically exceed the aggregated baseline bandwidth. Increasingly, these techniques are used in “hybrid” networking environments with various combinations of satellite, wireless and wireline communications to improve uptime and capacity. In addition, XipLink Hub Optimizations (XHO) solution reduces the amount of internet traffic over a communications link while simplifying operational deployment. XHO features transparently intercept web pages and optimize the content to conserve bandwidth.
Another key technology is the XipLink Real Time (XRT) feature set that uniquely compresses, coalesces and prioritizes VoIP, UDP and other IP based protocols, in addition to standard TCP optimization, to deliver significantly more bandwidth and packet efficiency without compromising quality.
If the customer buys a 10 Mbps wireless link, they will typically obtain about half of the capacity with actual throughput. However, with XipLink installed, the wireless link optimization will achieve 95 percent or better capacity utilization
XipLink’s roots are in the freeBSD open source community with particular expertise in the Space Communication Protocols Standard (SCPS) that focuses on TCP acceleration techniques. By utilizing SCPS, a single gateway can handle multiple vendor devices while delivering the highest WAN utilization capacity for TCP traffic without using tunnels. XipLink then adds various WAN optimization techniques required in wireless and stressed environments to deliver an entire solution of XA appliances, XV virtualized software and XO options. “For instance, air passengers can browse websites seamlessly and typically 30 percent faster as XipLink solutions orchestrate connections via ground-based optimization appliances and in the sky with XipLink Virtual embedded on aviation-based routers,” depicts Waters.
Xiplink is a recognized leader in the satellite and wireless space with particular success in military, maritime, aviation and CSP infrastructure vertical markets. Within the CSP infrastructure space the company has demonstrated very high success with cell backhaul solutions, ISP “municipal” backhaul for voice/video/data to remote communities and bandwidth efficiency via the aforementioned XHO package. XipLink is sold through wireless service providers, wireless integrators and telco equipment manufacturers with large customers such as Gogo Communications, Honeywell, L3, iDirect Technologies, Telenor and many international partners around the world.
Going forward, the company’s market strategy is to leverage their considerable success with satellite networks and “edge out” into related wireless or hybrid markets as the suite of wireless link optimization features continues to evolve.
XipLink's XipOS empowers Tusass with a highly scalable multi-gigabit Layer 2 over Layer-3 backhaul service. This offering is complemented by advanced Tunneless Load Balancing (TLB), a redundant and intricate multi-VLAN Layer 2 service, featuring MPLS acceleration and intelligent aggregation of numerous Dynamic SCPC modems.
XipOS enhances the end user Quality of Experience and effectively addresses various challenges in the satellite, cellular, and wireless sectors. This includes the offloading of modems from high session counts, improving performance for high-latency connections involving GEO satellites, ensuring consistent cellular data services, and optimizing available bandwidth to its maximum capacity. Moreover, XipOS software supports hybrid aggregation of GEO and NGSO connections, offering future-proofed enhanced services that encompass security and increased bandwidth scaling.
“We are very pleased to work with our trusted partner of more than a decade, to successfully implement this complex network. The remote nature of the customer locations requires the delivery of significant capacity with our highly scalable multi-gigabit Tunneless Load Balancing, but also service resiliency enabled by XipLink’s Traffic Steering, to ensure maximum throughput and uptime. The highly scalable XipOS virtual technology is used to optimize and transport critical cellular backhaul 2G-3G-4G traffic and Layer-2 services including MPLS, ISIS, Q-in-Q and LDP traffic” — Bruce Bednarski, Senior Vice President, Business Development, XipLink
“NOVELSAT partnered with XipLink to support a highly complex network requiring Layer-2 over Layer-3, with a multi-link load balancing requirement from Tusass to support mission critical backhaul links. XipLink’s Tunneless Load Balancing capabilities combine several Dynamic SCPC modem links into one single pipe, along with integrated SCPS TCP acceleration of MPLS traffic, increasing end customer “goodput” while providing higher uptime levels. We appreciate XipLink support in implementing a very complex network that benefits from the best of Dynamic SCPC and networking technologies.” — Aviv Ronai, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, NOVELSAT
