UDcast's best-of-breed technology provides an enhanced end-user experience and significant bandwidth savings through a combination of features such as TCP and CIFS acceleration, HTTP caching and pre-fetching, QoS-based traffic differentiation and especially bandwidth optimization through UDcast’s WANcompress technology.
WANcompress is a powerful data caching engine that provides bandwidth savings of up to 50%. WANcompress operates at the bit stream level and is completely protocol and application independent. Its operation is based on the redundancy normally found in data sent over the Wide Area Network (WAN). Whenever possible, WANcompress utilizes the data already stored in its cache rather than sending again data that has been previously transmitted.
This mix of different technologies greatly enhances the performance of the network, increasing its efficiency and improving the end user experience.
When there is a security requirement in the network, strong VPN security is available to secure the connection. Traffic passed through this VPN tunnel benefits from the same performance enhancement and bandwidth optimization features as the non-secure traffic.
The UDgateway works with any two-way satellite system (VSAT, DVB-RCS, SCPC and mesh), Cellular (GPRS, EDGE, HSPA, LTE), WiMAX network (802.16d/e) or any other wireless or fixed line network where bandwidth is expensive or limited. Networks that have high latency as well as limited bandwidth are particularly well suited for the UDgateway.
