The ODU provides the flexibility to allow choosing an antenna to meet specific application requirements. This ensures seamless integration with existing wired infrastructures. Large file downloads are accelerated, and bursty IP traffic is transmitted an average of three times faster than other satellite IP solutions without acceleration. Bandwidth Aggregation Bandwidth aggregation features on the IP 3 gateway enable multiple satellite communication channels to be combined into a single, high-rate IP stream. By combining bits of otherwise unusable bandwidth into larger segments, service providers gain flexibility for provisioning bandwidth over different transponders or satellites.
Service providers can aggregate spare bandwidth to supplement capacity for peak usage hours.
Bandwidth aggregation also increases availability. If a channel on a link is lost, remaining channels will share the lost capacity while maintaining the satellite connection. The IP 3 gateway allows system operators to monitor, control and configure all terminals in the network from a single point and via the Internet. An optional V.90 56K dial-up modem is available for backup access. SSET's Role in the Satellite Internet Transport Market SSET has important advantages that enable it to compete effectively in the IP transport market.
