WASHINGTON DC, Feb. 22, 2007/Satnews Daily/ ― Apposite Technologies and UDcast have partnered to test UDcast's satellite gateway using simulated satellite links. They will also utilize Apposite's Linktropy 4500 network simulator to test and optimize its family of IP over satellite and broadcast products for improved efficiency and customer satisfaction. Apposite's Linktropy 4500 is a high-precision, easy-to-use, network simulator that emulates link bandwidth, latency, packet loss, bit errors and other critical parameters that can affect application performance. The Linktropy 4500 can simulate satellite, wireless, terrestrial, Internet or any other type of wide-area network. UDcast is a provider of solutions enabling full IP over broadcast and satellite media. The company's flagship product, the UDgateway, is an all-in-one appliance, combining acceleration, QoS, routing, IPSec security and caching, specifically adapted for satellite-based broadband Internet access and deployed at more than 4,000 sites worldwide. UDcast will use Apposite's Linktropy 4500 to simulate customer networks to test, optimize and troubleshoot the performance of the UDgateway and other products in the lab. In addition, the monitoring and reporting features of the Linktropy 4500 allow UDcast to demonstrate the performance enhancement capabilities of their products to customers under real-world conditions. Antoine Clerget, vice president, engineering and co-founder of Udcast, described Linktropy 4500 as unique among WAN emulation products in offering features that are easy-to-use and in a reasonably priced package. "The Linktropy 4500 enables us to test and optimize the UDgateway under a variety of customer network conditions which are normally quite difficult to replicate on live networks," he said. "The UDgateway is an innovative solution that combines multiple acceleration techniques in a single, integrated product to enhance the satellite Internet experience," said DC Palter, Apposite president.
