XipLink Supports Hughes to Deliver Internet Services to
Several Thousand Schools in Mexico
September 9, 2013
XipLink announced the successful
integration and deployment of several XipLink Hub
Optimization (XHO) appliances with a Hughes Network Systems,
LLC HN VSAT satellite platform to support the Internet
connectivity needs of a nationwide public school system in
Mexico.
“We performed a rigorous analysis
of the XipLink solution,” said David Jupin, vice president,
International Division at Hughes. “The Hughes team had
performance concerns surrounding the number of Internet
session counts that are generated by the large number of
schools on the network, but the XipLink XHO platform
exceeded our expectations.”
The XipLink appliance (XA) family
of wireless link optimizers, scale from low-cost devices
operating at 2 Mbps to high-performance, multi-core
platforms operating at 155 Mbps and supporting over 30,000
simultaneous TCP connections. The appliances serve as the
vehicles that deliver optimization features such as
stream-based compression, byte caching, lossy and lossless
compression capabilities, link bonding/balancing, and
advanced cellular compression capabilities.
Bruce Bednarski, senior vice
president of Business Development at XipLink stated, “The
XHO solution was specifically designed for large service
networks with considerable Internet traffic. The system
complements the Hughes TurboPage™ feature, dramatically
reducing bandwidth requirements while simultaneously
improving the end user browsing experience. Demonstrable
efficiency and a lower overall operating cost structure is a
requirement in winning and delivering sizeable public
networks.”
XipLink’s flexible architecture
allows the solution to scale-up with the demands of the
network, protecting the customer’s initial investment in two
ways. First, the XHO allows for infinite expansion via WCCP
protocols and other integrated load balancing solutions
while simultaneously delivering critical fault tolerance.
Also, XipLink two-way optimizer appliances can be
provisioned at the larger and more demanding remote
locations to further optimize and reduce traffic generated
at these sites and across the network.
