As IT infrastructure gets more complicated with new Web applications, and enterprise IT departments are challenged to support more employees in remote locations, IP-based satellite links are being used to deliver enterprise applications and information to branch offices, telecommuters and mobile workers in places where bandwidth is scarce and expensive.


Unfortunately, there are technology roadblocks that can make delivering these applications a challenge. Elements that adversely affect satellite connectivity include high-latency, TCP, web application and content delivery inefficiencies, and adverse environmental conditions.


Stampede’s FX Series WAN optimization and acceleration products alleviate the adverse effects that satellite WANs can have on application performance. This white paper focuses on the network obstacles faced by satellite Internet broadband service providers, and the benefits that Stampede’s FX Series can deliver to them and their customers. These benefits include greater utilization of bandwidth; faster access and downloads, and secure access to mission-critical information.
