[Satellite TODAY 03-26-13] Satcom Direct, a developer of satellite communications solutions for corporate and military aircraft, has selected WAN optimization and network control solutions provider Exinda’s Mobile platform to be integrated into its first hardware product, the Satcom Direct Router (SDR).
Acting as a Wi-Fi access point on an airplane, the SDR will use the Exinda Mobile platform to improve the consistency and response time of Internet applications, giving passengers an improved in-flight connectivity experience.
"Executives, government officials and business professionals continue to spend a large amount of time in the air, so the need to constantly be connected is greater than ever,” Curt Gray, vice president of Satcom Technologies for Satcom Direct, said on a statement.
The Exinda Mobile platform offers high-speed connectivity, collaborative caching and incorporates traffic acceleration based on the user’s location. It doesn’t require extra hardware or network reconfiguration, often leading to lower capital costs for customers.
“As the mobile workforce continues to grow, it’s imperative that customers are able to bypass traditional bandwidth and speed limitations and instead, access their network and critical applications without hassle," said Kevin Kirksey, vice president of sales, North America for Exinda.
