XipLink Receives Frost & Sullivan 2009 Technology Award
World-renowned consulting firm recognizes company’s technology innovation in XipLink Optimization Software Version 3.0
June 9, 2009 (Montreal, Canada) - Today XipLink, the technology leader in wireless optimization, announced that the company has received the prestigious 2009 Frost & Sullivan North America Technology Innovation Award in the field of Military Satellite Network Optimization, specifically with the release of XipLink Optimization Software (XipOS) version 3.0.
Frost & Sullivan’s Technology Innovation Award is bestowed upon a company or individual that has carried out new research resulting in innovation(s) that have or are expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture. The Frost & Sullivan Award recognizes XipLink’s considerable efforts in developing an innovative and versatile solution that offers significant and varied benefits for military satellite network operations.
The innovative XipLink 3.0 Software release combines exceptional bandwidth optimization capabilities with a new Quality of Service (QoS) engine that operates on logical wireless network queues, supporting multiple wireless networks from a single hub appliance, and delivering bandwidth gains exceeding 200% for most users. For instance, many military and commercial network operators support both an MSS service, running nominally at 400 Kbps and multi-megabit services on VSAT. The new XipOS 3.0 release allows simultaneous use of hub resources by establishing queuing classes for each logical wireless network and by applying XipLink’s industry leading congestion control algorithms to each connection.
XipOS software is tightly coupled with kernel memory, and with the 3.0 release, it can now leverage recent multi-processor and memory innovations to operate at very high data rates, beyond 155Mbps with very high session counts as well as operating in very small devices with limited CPU or memory.
“In addition to the overall technology innovation that this award represents it also recognizes the quality and depth of XipLink’s research and development efforts,” said Anirudh S. Srinivasan, Technology Analyst with Frost & Sullivan. “We were not only impressed by the solution itself but also by the company’s vision and risk-taking capabilities that enabled it to undertake such an endeavor.”
To choose the award recipient, Frost & Sullivan’s analyst team tracks innovation in key hi-tech markets. The selection process includes primary participant interviews and extensive primary and secondary research via the bottom-up approach. The analysts also consider the pace of research and technology innovation, and the significance or potential relevance of the innovation to the overall industry. The ultimate award recipient is chosen after a thorough evaluation of this research.
“We view wireless optimization as a critical component for the efficient service provider,” said Jack Waters, CEO of XipLink. “Our XipOS 3.0 release culminates over 10 years of research and development so we are pleased to see that our innovation and experience in adapting military standard SCPS acceleration solutions to a wide variety of wireless networks is being recognized by a prestigious firm like Frost and Sullivan.”
