The Advanced VSAT Solutions portfolio provides high-performance satellite-based communication solutions for a diverse range of applications, including mobile backhaul with RAN optimization, IP trunking and backhaul, maritime and offshore networks, corporate and enterprise networks, emergency and disaster recovery. Incorporating advanced technologies developed by Comtech EF Data, AHA Products Group, Memotec and Stampede, the solutions provide unmatched performance, industry-leading bandwidth efficiencies and network optimization, while minimizing total cost of ownership.

“We are honored to receive this esteemed award,” commented Daniel Enns, Senior Vice President Strategic Marketing and Business Development for Comtech EF Data. “We leveraged our leadership in satellite bandwidth efficiency when developing the Advanced VSAT Solutions. The product line addresses the shift from dedicated circuits to shared systems in specific market segments, and enables users to reduce OPEX/CAPEX and increase throughput.”

The Advanced VSAT incorporates industry-leading optimization at every layer. DVB-S2 and VersaFEC with ACM/VCM enable efficient physical layer without compromising latency, while the ultra low overhead Streamline Encapsulation and Enhanced GSE enable efficient link layer. Header compression and lossless payload compression enable efficient transport for IP datagrams, and RAN optimization minimizes the bandwidth required for mobile backhaul. WAN optimization provides TCP connection management, TCP optimization, image reduction and smoothing, caching, bandwidth pooling, and other capabilities for significant bandwidth savings. And, the Advanced QoS and Group QoS ensure the highest quality of service with minimal jitter and latency for real-time traffic, priority treatment of mission critical applications and maximum bandwidth efficiency.

“Satellite Spotlight is pleased to grant a 2011 Product of the Year Award to Comtech EF Data for the Advanced VSAT Solutions.
