By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributor
Stampede Technologies (News - Alert), Inc., a provider of WAN optimization and acceleration solutions for satellite and terrestrial-based networks, has signed an OEM agreement with Global Protocols, Inc., or “GPI,” for integrating SkipWare onto its FX Series appliances designed to accelerate and optimize satellite communications for IP traffic.
Stampede officials said that the company will include SkipWare on the FX 1000, FX 2000 and FX 4000 Series of WAN Optimization appliances to help military organizations achieve greater application performance across mission-critical satellite networks, while maintaining Space Communication Protocol Standards, or “SCPS-TP,” interoperability.
With SkipWare integrated into the FX Series appliances from Stampede, government agencies will have faster and more secure delivery of mission-critical information needed to do their job from any remote location.
Global Protocols' SkipWare is an SCPS (Space Communication Protocol Standards)-TP implementation that has become the “defacto standard” transport protocol for military satellite communications.
SkipWare is the industry's first commercial SCPS-TP implementation used to overcome challenges associated with satellite WANs and deliver a reliable satellite communications in support of military missions, regardless of the operating conditions.
“We are very enthusiastic about this partnership and the future of the FX Series SCPS product line,” said Nick Yuran, vice president, business development, Global Protocols, in a statement, added that Stampede has a robust set of WAN optimization features that the market is ready to embrace, and they understand the customer requirements in the satellite market.
GPI comprises an expert staff of protocol engineers and stressed wireless architects, specializing in the deployment of SkipWare.
GPI provides both hardware solutions and engineering consulting services for custom wireless protocol implementations for the satcom, radio, terrestrial wireless and wireless telemetry markets.
