XRT

XipLink Real Time (“XRT”) is a new optimization capability which compresses, coalesces and prioritizes VOIP and UDP for significantly more bandwidth and packet efficiency. It provides key benefits including a dramatic bandwidth reduction, a dramatic reduction in the packets per second over a network, and ensures that real time traffic is properly prioritized for optimum quality.

Bandwidth Reduction and Increased Scalability for VOIP

  • Immediate Bandwidth and Packet Per Second Savings!
  • Improve overall quality of voice and streaming over satellite

The XRT solution takes advantage of the fact that:

  • Most VOIP is headers – approximately 40%!
  • Most header fields do not change from packet to packet
  • Multiple streams (calls) each have their own overhead and many common headers
  • Inefficiencies apply to all UDP, but are most pronounced in small packet applications (e.g. not full frame video streaming).
  • These real-time streams need to be prioritized but managed through the network
  • Effective voice codecs are well established and provide excellent options to tune quality versus size. Little need to touch the data stream.
