[Via Satellite 09-10-13] XipLink has successfully integrated and deployed several XipLink Hub Optimization (XHO) appliances with a Hughes Network Systems HN VSAT satellite platform to support the Internet connectivity needs of a nationwide public school system in Mexico.

The XipLink Appliance (XA) family of wireless link optimizers, scale from low-cost devices operating at 2 Mbps to high-performance, multi-core platforms operating at 155 Mbps and supporting over 30,000 simultaneous TCP connections. The appliances serve as the vehicles that deliver optimization features such as stream-based compression, byte caching, lossy and lossless compression capabilities, link bonding/balancing, and advanced cellular compression capabilities.

“We performed a rigorous analysis of the XipLink solution,” said David Jupin, vice president, international division at Hughes. “The Hughes team had performance concerns surrounding the number of Internet session counts that are generated by the large number of schools on the network, but the XipLink XHO platform exceeded our expectations.”
