announced that BringCom has selected XipLink Hub Optimization (XHO) technology for a large network
application providing Internet access in Africa. The hub-centric XHO solution reduces the addressable
HTTP traffic by 35% for the BringCom traffic pattern. This reduction greatly decreases the operating
expense associated with costly satellite bandwidth capacity, which is imperative in the very costcompetitive
African Internet access business. In addition, the XHO technology improves customer
satisfaction by increasing HTTP download times yet is seamless to the user base as no additional remote
hardware or software is required.
The African-based network will utilize a single XipLink XA-30K device to support two iDirect Hubs serving
hundreds of subscribers. In addition, due to the flexibility of the XHO product, the same unit can be
leveraged to deliver two-way optimization functionality necessary to support BringCom’s more demanding
military and enterprise-based customers.
“We are extremely excited to be teaming up with XipLink on this networking solution,” said Fabrice
Langreney, President of BringCom. “The amount of increased throughput combined with the improved
end-user experience provided by a single investment will assist in further differentiating our offerings.”
XipLink’s XA-Series appliances, range in scale from 2 Mbps and 50 connections for use in small office
locations to redundant high performance systems operating at 155 Mbps and 30,000 simultaneous
connections. XipLink appliances support key value-added options such as a factory installed dynamic
web cache, IPSec integrated security software and XiPix lossy compression for outbound web
optimization.
“XipLink is very pleased by BringCom’s selection to serve this large network in Africa,” said Bruce
Bednarski, senior vice president of business development for XipLink. “BringCom’s rigorous testing
eliminated a few vendors due to failure in the unique satellite environment. Our successful move into the
production network was based on factors such as proven bandwidth savings over satellite
communications, the flexibility of our hub-centric optimization technology and the elimination of remote
installation. These factors highlight XipLink’s focus to develop the best optimization solutions available for
wireless networks.”
