Latency, Link Optimization and the Need for Speed

Unlike the terrestrial connectivity world, maintaining network connectivity and quality of service in the satellite world is extremely challenging. To manage these highly stressed networks, minimize latency and maximize the efficient delivery of bandwidth, unique approaches are required. Luckily, there’s an answer to this challenge, in the form of acceleration hardware and software solutions. Jack Waters, CEO of XipLink discusses how accelerators provide the throughput that government and commercial customers require – and can increase link efficiency from 35 percent to 95 percent. Jack also shares his views on where the satellite industry is headed and the overall impact of new technologies such as HTS and the LEO mega constellations.
