announced
that
the
XipLink
Virtual
(XV)
Optimization
solution
is a
supported

iDirect
X7-EC
(embedded
computing)
satellite
remote.
This
integrated
solution
couples
advanced
optimization
capabilities
with
next-generation
embedded
computing
hardware
to
improve
traffic
throughput
and
efficiency
for
mobile
operators
and
enterprise
networks.
iDirect
is a
world
leader
in
satellite-based
IP
communications
technology.
The
XipLink
XV
includes
their
Wireless
Link
Optimization
suite
of
tools
offering
a
range
of
acceleration,
compression
and
optimization
capabilities
that
enhance
network
throughput.
The
XipLink
Wireless
Link
Optimization
delivers
an
optimal
solution
for
mobile
operators
and
diverse
enterprise
requirements,
featuring:
- Scalable TCP Acceleration that increases the usable bandwidth from 40% to 200% gain for all TCP applications, while also delivering a user experience benefit of 30% to 50% faster web page load times
- Packet coalescing to improve packet throughput performance of the satellite modem.

The
iDirect
EC
series
of
remotes
enhance
customer
value
by
consolidating
solutions
that
typically
require
the
use
of a
multi-box
configuration
into
a 1U
rack-mounted
form
factor,
and
feature
extra
processing
power
and
memory
needed
to
run
value-added
software
applications.
Each
EC
remote
must
be
paired
with
a
licensable
application
to
create
an
enterprise-class
solution.
The
XipLink
XV
solution
will
be
licensed
for
use
with
the
X7-EC,
a
variant
of
the
iDirect
X7
satellite
remote
with
advanced
features
such
as
two
DVB-S2
demodulators,
multicast
capabilities
and
advanced
mobility
features
with
extra
computing
power.
The
integrated
solution
will
be
offered
in
three
different
XV
license
options
based
on
throughput
requirements
and
the
number
of
sessions
supported:
XV-500i:
(4
Mbps
and
500
sessions);
XV-4000i:
(16
Mbps
and
4000
sessions);
and
XV-6000i:
(50
Mbps
and
6000
sessions).
