As the technology convergence between the network and application layers speeds up, Speedcast and XipLink see the importance in developing next-generation solutions that are flexible and scalable across different environments.

The partnership is focused on the two companies’ strengths across three main areas:

  • Speedcast and XipLink operational and software personnel will integrate network management interfaces and leverage machine-driven analytics to simplify operational processes, increase network visibility and enhance customer experience.


Tim Bailey, EVP, Products, Marketing and Business Development, Speedcast, said the company recognizes the important role that network optimization plays in managing critical communications. The XipLink partnership gives the firm the ability to expand the scope of offered services and provide innovative technologies to customers across the industries Speedcast serves.
