XIPLINK – XA-4000 SCPS TCP Optimized Accelerator Appliances

Description

XipLink XS-SCPS TCP accelerators deliver the satellite and wireless industries’ most advanced performance in easily installed appliances, assuring exceptional throughput at a nominal capital cost. XipLink offers four models of SCPS accelerators, supporting links with aggregate capacities up to 650 Mbps and 100,000 TCP sessions to dramatically increase throughput to end users.
XipLink’s high-performance and efficient kernel-based solution scales to support HTS satellite and wireless backhaul links. XipLink accelerators uniquely support the highest session counts per capital cost due to their scalable dynamic socket buffer design. XipLink has implemented the open and interoperable Space Communication Protocol Standard – Transport Protocol (SCPS-TP), as defined in CCSDS 714.0-B-2, ISO 15893:2010 and MIL-STD-2045-44000.
XipLink devices work over any wireless, wireline or hybrid network including the following network technologies;
• VSAT, Trunk and Access – TDMA / SCPC / Mesh
• Terrestrial Wireless – WiMax / Microwave / Extended Wi-Fi
• Cellular – 2.5G / 3G / 4G
• MSS & MEO – Inmarsat, Iridium, O3b and similar systems
 
XipLink Accelerator Hardware Models & Specifications

*Premium Options
XipLink’s XS-SCPS TCP accelerator product line provides exceptional investment protection. The model range offers industry-leading acceleration throughput and TCP session counts initially, while also supporting software upgradeability from XS-SCPS to equivalent scale, fully-featured XA models to enable the entire complement of wireless optimization features, if required. XipLink’s full feature set includes header compression and coalescing for VoIP, cellular backhaul and real-time traffic, web and byte caching for significant bandwidth savings on repetitive traffic and link balancing and bonding to incrementally scale and add redundancy via aggregation of multiple wireless links.
