UDstation-Access
Satellite Hub IP Acceleration
DESCRIPTION
is a central appliance located at the satellite hub. It is the key product companion for the UDgateways®, which are located at end-customer sites that deliver enhanced broadband Internet access over two-way satellite systems. This appliance is shared by all the connected UDgateways® and provides the necessary server side/hub elements for full functionality.
Thanks to the appliance, and in conjunction with UDgateway® appliances, service providers can provide premium type services with key benefits for both the service provider and the end-customer.

The appliance is highly flexible to ensure easy integration with the service provider's hub and perfect adaptation to specific needs and constraints. The appliance can also be located close to the hub, for example in a public IP zone, in order to reduce the risk of impacting the existing satellite system. Through the use of , the service provider can choose which end-customer sites will benefit from a premium service enabled by UDgateways®, and which will not, thus delivering two classes of service from a single hub.
Based on a powerful hardware platform, the appliance is designed for the satellite service provider. Each appliance can support capacity up to a full satellite transponder.
