Network Processing

Powering Advanced Connectivity

The Network Processing System utilizes modern cloud-native architectures to deploy multiple Network Functions, handling a wide range of critical networking tasks, including:

• Networking and Routing
• Traffic Management and QoS
• Mobility and Physical Layer Control
• Signal and Data Processing
• Security and Access Control
• Network Operations and Monitoring

Intuition’s centralized Network Processing System, with built-in redundancy, simplifies management and enhances operational efficiency while ensuring telco-grade system availability.

This abstraction of Network Processing Functions is powered by the Common iDirect Deployment Infrastructure (CIDI), a Kubernetes-based orchestration framework. CIDI supports deployment on purpose-built hardware, private cloud stacks, or public cloud regions, giving customers the flexibility to tailor deployments to their unique needs.

Each function is designed to deliver reliability, efficiency, and scalability for modern satellite networks.

Networking and Routing

• Efficiently manages IP traffic and routing tailored to service providers’ needs
• Supports advanced L2/L3 architectures for flexible network configurations

Traffic Management / QoS

• Prioritizes voice, video, and data to meet SLAs
• Enhances end-user experience with robust traffic prioritization and bandwidth management

Mobility and Physical Layer Control

• Ensures seamless connectivity for mobile and dynamic environments
• Optimizes physical layer performance for reliable communication

Signal and Data Processing

• Processes signals and data efficiently for high-performance networks
• Reduces latency and improves overall network throughput

Security and Access Control

• Protects networks with advanced security protocols
• Ensures secure access and data integrity across the system

Network Operations and Monitoring

• Provides real-time insights for proactive network management
• Simplifies operations with centralized monitoring and control

Global Bandwidth Management (GBWM)

• Scales bandwidth management across multiple satellites and beams
• Ensures SLA fulfillment with global allocation and congestion management

Optimization (TCP/UDP Acceleration and Compression)

• Improves network utilization and reduces control data overhead
• Enhances Quality of Experience (QoE) for end users

Flexible Deployment Options for Network Processing Functions

Network Processing Functions utilize the CIDI cloud-native design to adapt to diverse customer needs and strategies:

• On-Premises
  Deployed on iDirect purpose-built hardware, such as the DCR2000, to deliver high density, performance, and security
• Private Cloud
  Deployed on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware within a customer’s private cloud stack, offering full control and customization for operators
• Public Cloud
  Deployed in public cloud regions, providing scalability and cloud-native services to dynamically adapt to changing demand
