Satellite Link Acceleration

Satellites are used in areas where land lines are either unavailable, too expensive, or are unable to deliver the required bandwidth. While it’s possible to get significant bandwidth from a satellite-based link at a significant cost, they suffer from extremely high latency due to the distance from earth to the satellite and back.

Quick Bits: Riverbed and satellite networks

This session covers the unique challenges associated with satellite networks, how Riverbed solutions address those challenges, and benefits to customers.

Typical round-trip times (RTT) for a cross-country or trans-oceanic, land-based WAN link range from 100 to 200 ms, while a satellite link can easily take up to a full second. This huge RTT causes massive delays, especially with application protocols like CIFS, MAPI, and TCP itself.

If your company relies on satellite links to deliver data, Steelhead appliances and Steelhead Mobile could make a huge difference in your current application performance, as well as which applications you try to run over those links. Many companies are unable to roll out Exchange or Windows file sharing to satellite-linked sites because of the extremely high latency. With Steelhead appliances, those sites can enjoy performance similar to local offices connected through the LAN.
