The explosion in wireless Internet usage has created an insatiable demand for bandwidth and capacity. The TESSCO/XipLink partnership will answer this demand by reaching network operators looking to reduce operating expenses, as well as wireless network users that simply want to increase bandwidth without purchasing and installing new radios. XipLink’s wireless WAN Optimization Controller (WOC) appliances are a natural, complementary addition to any wireless network. Typical users experience an increase in bandwidth of two to three times the existing capacity and frequently measure their return on investment in as little as six months. XipLink products increase wireless bandwidth for all TCP applications by combining TCP protocol acceleration using industry-standard SCPS protocols, streaming data compression and Internet browsing enhancements specifically designed to overcome the common problems associated with all wireless links. XipLink products are easy to install and operate transparently over any network, including VSAT, Mobile Satellite Services and terrestrial wireless links. Sophisticated logical network classes enable quality of service configurations to optimize both fixed and mobile wireless architectures using one or more redundant hub-side appliances.
