Next week at Satellite 2011, WAN optimization specialist, Expand Networks will be demonstrating its latest innovations in acceleration techniques that further enhance the user experience in satellite networks across the most challenging military, government, enterprise, rural and remote environments.

At the show, Expand Networks (News - Alert) will demonstrate how satellite service providers can lower operating costs while improving the use of broadband in unserved and under-served rural markets to enable distance learning, telemedicine, public safety, emergency response and economic development. With Expand’s latest accelerator operating system AOS – 7.0.1, satellites can deliver virtual broadband anywhere, said the supplier.

According to the maker, AOS 7.0.1 builds on the company’s unique capabilities in providing effective WAN optimization for high latency, satellite environments. Through live demonstrations and active discussions, Expand’s engineers plan to illustrate how users can enhance satellite communications across the harshest operating environments using Expand’s solutions.

In a statement, Howard Teicher, vice president for Public Sector and Satellite Markets, commented, “Operating enterprise-class applications over low bandwidth-high latency satellite links demands a dynamic, robust WAN Optimization capability to satisfy all network performance requirements. Expand Networks Accelerators, which are battle-proven in Iraq and Afghanistan with US and NATO forces, enable fast and reliable connectivity to offer increased levels of quality of service by way of higher bandwidth throughput, reduced latency, and seamless delivery of critical applications.”

Combining Space Communication Protocol Standard (SCPS) technology with compression, byte-level caching and layer 7 QoS, Expand’s protocol agnostic approach to optimization accelerates all critical productivity tools and business applications across satellite environments, said the developer.

Teicher added, “With the industry’s best performance over satellite, and dynamic, robust WAN optimization capability, Expand is best-placed to help organizations overcome the traditional low bandwidth, high latency obstacles that impede the speed and performance of applications and services over satellite networks today. Our proven combination of byte-level caching, efficient compression and TCP acceleration turns the potential risk of slow, unsecure satellite links, into a robust communications asset that can support even the most demanding of users in the environments.”
