XipLink Supports Hughes to Deliver Internet Services to Several Thousand Schools in Mexico
Solution Improves Network Performance While Simultaneously Reducing Operating Costs
September 9, 2013 – Montréal, QC – XipLink announced today the successful integration and deployment of several XipLink Hub Optimization (XHO) appliances with a Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES) HN VSAT satellite platform to support the Internet connectivity needs of a nationwide public school system in Mexico.
“We performed a rigorous analysis of the XipLink solution,” said David Jupin, vice president,
International Division at Hughes. “The Hughes team had performance concerns surrounding the
number of Internet session counts that are generated by the large number of schools on the network, but the XipLink XHO platform exceeded our expectations.”
The XipLink appliance (XA) family of wireless link optimizers, scale from low-cost devices operating at 2 Mbps to high-performance, multi-core platforms operating at 155 Mbps and supporting over 30,000 simultaneous TCP connections. The appliances serve as the vehicles that deliver optimization features such as stream-based compression, byte caching, lossy and lossless compression capabilities, link bonding/balancing, and advanced cellular compression capabilities.
Bruce Bednarski, senior vice president of Business Development at XipLink stated, “The XHO solution was specifically designed for large service networks with considerable Internet traffic. The system complements the Hughes TurboPage™ feature, dramatically reducing bandwidth requirements while simultaneously improving the end user browsing experience. Demonstrable efficiency and a lower overall operating cost structure is a requirement in winning and delivering sizeable public networks.”
XipLink’s flexible architecture allows the solution to scale-up with the demands of the network,
protecting the customer’s initial investment in two ways. First, the XHO allows for infinite expansion via WCCP protocols and other integrated load balancing solutions while simultaneously delivering critical fault tolerance. Also, XipLink two-way optimizer appliances can be provisioned at the larger and more demanding remote locations to further optimize and reduce traffic generated at these sites and across the network.
