Flexible, Efficient Core Architecture
The hub system can connect to any frequency band on all satellite architectures. Velocity is built on DVB-S2 with ACM and Adaptive TDMA to allocate bandwidth efficiently over many VSAT terminals, while automatically adjusting to dynamic traffic demands and changing network conditions. The modular hub and line card system enables satellite operators to offer any business model, including VNO and managed service models.
Global Bandwidth Management
Global Bandwidth Management enables operators to manage a single bandwidth pool to ensure a complexity of different SLAs and service offerings across a large coverage area spanning multiple spot beams. This includes a Group Quality of Service system, load balancing, scheduling, geoscope and a Fair Access Policy Scheme (FAP).
Advanced Mobility
Advanced mobility features enable fast-moving remotes to automatically cross multiple spot beams within a short period of time, maintaining a constant IP session. These capabilities include: Automatic Beam Selection (ABS) technology features beam switching with no manual intervention across multiple satellite footprints to enable global connectivity. Other high-speed Communications on the Move (COTM) features include Doppler compensation, fast reacquisition after blockage and fast beam-switching as well as spread spectrum waveforms to support very small antennas on aircraft, maritime and land- based vehicles.
Carrier Class Service Reliability
Supports full redundancy and rain diversity of the network infrastructure, as well as sophisticated QoS to ensure SLAs under any weather condition.
Integration with Terrestrial Networks
Velocity mirrors the quality and reliability of terrestrial services, ensuring an enterprise-class user experience, and can operate seamlessly as part of an integrated global IP network. Layer 2 over Satellite (L2oS) provides protocol transparency through a Layer 2 architecture that offers seamless integration into an end-to-end network.
