INTRODUCTION
Satellites are an attractive option for carrying Internet and other IP traffic to many locations across the globe where terrestrial options are limited .
The Sky X technology replaces TCP over satellite page link with a protocol optimized for the high loss and bandwidth conditions of the typical satellite communication.
Adding the Sky X system to a satellite network allows users to take full advantage of the available bandwidth
The Sky X Technology transparently enhances the performance of all users on a satellite network.
The Sky X increases web performance by 3 times or more and file transfer speeds by 10 to 100 times.
The Sky X solution is entirely transparent to end users , works with all TCP applications and does not require any modifications to end client and servers.
IMPORTANT FEATURES
Easy Installation:- This technology provides easy installation into any standard TCP/IP network.
High Performance:- The Sky X Gateway enhances the performance of Internet,Intranet,Extranet,private network or any other TCP/IP connections over satellite links.
4.45 Mbps Capacity:-The Sky X acclerator XH45 is designed for satellite links upto 45 Mbps.The XH45 can also be used in combination with multiple XR10 units as the hub configuration.
WHY DO WE NEED SKY X TECHNOLOGY ?
The internet protocols are not optimized for satellite conditions and consequently the throughput over the satellite networks is restricted to only a fraction of available bandwidth.
Thus,we need Sky X Technology to overcome these restrictions and to access maximum bandwidth.
WORKING:-
The Sky X works by transparently replacing TCP connections from the client and converting the data to Xpress Transport Protocol(XTP) which is the protocol optimized for satellite conditions.
Sky X Gateway works by intercepting the TCP connection from the client and converting the data to the Xpress Transport Protocol(XTP) for transmission over satellite.
The Sky X gateway on the opposite side of the satellite page link translates the data back to TCP for communication with the server.
The 2 Sky X gateways pass control data between each other allowing the Sky X gateway on the opposite side of the satellite to appear to be the orginal source or destination device.
