Glowlink® SAMS™Saves Smart Satellite Traffic Planners


[SatNews] Satellite traffic planners have a host of tasks and solutions usually are costly.

SAMS™ by Glowlink is a NexGen satellite capacity and link planning tool. Satellite traffic planners can use SAMS™ to plan satellite communications traffic, perform link budget analysis and optimize space assets to meet data throughput and link performance objectives—all at a fraction of the price of other planning products on the market.

SAMS™ is designed for both fixed and mobile networks including aeronautical and maritime networks. The product is designed with an emphasis on ease-of-use. Its point-and-click interface gives the user a graphical and intuitive way to plan traffic links and predict their performance on a link-by-link or network-wide basis.

SAMS™ can be used either as a stand-alone link planning tool, or seamlessly integrated with Glowlink’s industry-leading carrier monitoring systems for an end-to-end, all inclusive network planning/management operation: real-time carrier measurements can be incorporated into the refinement and assessment of planned traffic. Likewise, spectrum plans can be loaded into the monitoring system with a simple mouse click so the planned traffic can be immediately monitored for performance verification.

SAMS™ comes packaged with a SAMS™ Server and an integrated SAMS™ workstation for a true turn-key, plug-and-play solution.
