OmniGlobe Deploys XipLink Optimization Technology
Leading optimization performance provides immediate user benefits and rapid return on investment
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 27, 2011 – Montréal, QC – Today XipLink, the technology leader in wireless optimization announced that OmniGlobe has deployed XipLink’s advanced optimization technology to reduce bandwidth requirements while providing their customers with improved connectivity performance. OmniGlobe has seen full capacity utilization in combination with intelligent QoS, bandwidth reduction through compression techniques and user experience improvement by utilizing the XipLink technology through two-way TCP acceleration.
XipLink XA Appliances are used for optimizing satellite networks of entire un-served or under-served communities. OmniGlobe uses an XA-30K hub device and typically XA-2000 appliances in the remote communities. In addition to XipLink's standard optimization techniques, the XA-30K uses the XipLink Hub Optimizations (XHO) to further reduce bandwidth and speed the Internet experience.
There were many determining factors in OmniGlobe’s decision to select XipLink. The initial goal was to accelerate the satellite links to achieve full utilization and maximum responsiveness for users. The second goal was to ensure the service is as competitive as possible, by using compression and other techniques. Further, the XipLink QoS shaping capabilities are used to intelligently assign bandwidth appropriately among sites.
"Xiplink's WAN acceleration and optimization solutions have enabled OmniGlobe Networks to enhance performance in our satellite networks and to better utilize the available satellite bandwidth, thereby increasing the ROI on our satellite capacity and infrastructure investments,” said Nicolae Iuoras, Director of Systems Engineering for OmniGlobe. “We've also collaborated with XipLink to successfully develop customized solutions for specific customer requirements."
XipLink’s XA-Series appliances, range in scale from 2 Mbps and 50 connections for use in small office locations to redundant high performance systems operating at 155 Mbps and 30,000 simultaneous connections. XipLink appliances also support key value-added options such as a factory installed dynamic web cache, IPSec integrated security software and XiPix lossy compression for outbound web optimization.
“XipLink is very pleased to have been selected by OmniGlobe through such a thorough review process,” said Charlie Younghusband, Senior Vice President of Product Management for XipLink. “OmniGlobe’s selection based on factors such as efficient implementation characteristics, scalability, flexibility, and quick ROI highlights XipLink’s focus to develop the best technology available. OmniGlobe's technical team was already deeply familiar with optimization technologies, so to be selected is an honor.”
