Advanced V-Sat Solutions
Based on your budget and requirements, your V-Sat link can be configured in one of many ways:
Dedicated single point of access - SCPC link
Dedicated multiple point of access - TDMA network
Shared single point of access with CIR* guarantees - TDMA network
Shared single point of access with unlimited service
Dual V-Sat Solutions
If 100% uptime is imperative, relying on a single V-Sat system for connectivity can be a risk. Our dual V-Sat solution guarantees connectivity in case of equipment failure, network failure or satellite failure from one of your V-Sat systems.
Optimizing the use of your bandwidth can also be an important factor when opting for a dual V-Sat solution: streaming applications (VoIP, VPN, Intranet access) can be routed over a low latency, high priority V-Sat link while other applications (Web browsing, mail server, database replication) can be routed over a low cost, high throughput V-Sat link.
Purchasing less low latency, high priority bandwidth using a dual V-Sat solution can represent significant savings over even a short period of time, without factoring the advantages of having 24/7 network redundancy.
*: CIR: Commited Information Rate, is a measure of the Quality of Service (QoS) offered over VSat networks.
