[Satellite TODAY 06-25-13] Satellite and terrestrial network provider, Emerging Markets Communications (EMC) announced the second release of SpeedNetAV technology, an enhanced, cloud-based browser designed to address the challenges associated with using a satellite connection in remote regions.
For an overall enhanced experience using a satellite connection, SpeedNet AV increases upload and download speeds; enriches the delivery of audio, video and multimedia content by allowing content to be passed from the server directly to the client; enables faster typing by allowing users to type in a "local" text-box from which the content is inserted into the cloud seamlessly; and also enables a faster browsing and scrolling experience by implementing a snapshot technology to pre cache the entire content, at once, eliminating the repetitive communication with a server over the WAN. Additionally, the browser incorporates a download manager for centralization of files and live chat support with desktop sharing capabilities and access to engineers.
“Optimization challenges arise when using a remote desktop protocol such as Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP, over wide area networks (WANs) with medium to high latency and low bandwidth,” Fernando Klurfan, product manager for Cloud Services, said in a statement. “The user’s experience is degraded by challenges such as slow graphics screen paint, typing delays, and sluggish scrolling. Speednet AV solves these problems and delivers the fastest application performance by combining both a local and a virtual browser into a single platform. This allows the cloud servers to do the heavy lifting and relies on the client software to intelligently switch between local and cloud.”
