XipLink

Maximum Wireless Capacity
Increased throughput and reduced cost

XA-Appliances deliver the most advanced satellite and wireless optimization in easy to install appliances, right-sized for the bandwidth and number of users at each location. For small and medium sized sites, set-top-box appliances are easily installed without the need for trained IT staff. For very high speed links or central aggregation sites, fully redundant appliances can optimize links up to 155 Mbps and support thousands of simultaneous sessions, typically increasing bandwidth from 2X to 10X for all TCP applications.

XipOS works between users of any two devices of any type. A central XAAppliance can support remote users of devices with XE-Embedded XipOS, the XS-104 single board computer or users with a XipStick portable optimizer. Based on the SCPS specification, XipOS optimization simultaneously works with secure and un-secure users over any wireless network

• VSAT - TDMA / SCPC / Mesh / MSS
• 3G / 4G Cellular - Interconnect and Backhaul
• Terrestrial Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint
• LTE / WiMax / WiFi - CPE to Base Station links
