June 2, 2010 

XipLink, announced that Level 421 GmbH, a Germany-based satellite internet provider has selected XipLink’s optimization technology to be implemented for a government SCPC VSAT network, providing mission critical service while optimizing TCP traffic at the lowest possible cost. With increased throughput of more than 40% end user experience is dramatically enhanced by making downloads quicker while also allowing for additional users over the same network.

Level 421 has extensive experience with optimization technologies and is a premier VSAT provider in Germany. Level 421 operates mission critical IP satellite networks to "AAA" rated government customers as well as oil and gas, and enterprise companies who have advanced network requirements in the fields of VOIP and VPN use. Level 421 chose XipLink’s technology due to its ease of deployment and ability to integrate into these complex IP networks with no need to change even basic routing infrastructure. XipLink’s single-box solution, which allows for the ability to add a software overlay for IPSec VPN to existing XipLink XA optimization appliances, was a critical factor in the decision.  

The explosion in Satellite Internet usage has created an insatiable demand for bandwidth capacity. Advanced XipLink optimization technologies answer this demand by offering capabilities such as streaming compression, caching, Quality of Service shaping and many other benefits for network operations looking to reduce operating expenses, as well as wireless network users that simply want to increase performance. XipLink’s XA-Series appliances, range in scale from 2 Mbps and 50 connections for use in small office / home 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.

“We are extremely excited to be implementing the XipLink technology for use in this network. The solution results in a significant performance gain for our government customer,” said Mr. Markus Haut, General Manager of Level 421 GmbH. “The increased bandwidth utilization will provide superior efficiency and cost savings that will prove greatly beneficial.”

“Level 421 has achieved tremendous success over the last few years by implementing innovative solutions that take advantage of new technologies to achieve excellent results for their customers,” said Jack Waters, CEO of XipLink.   “We are pleased to be working with such a respected and proven partner in the VSAT managed services marketplace”.
