Q-KON, an established engineering group and provider of managed network services and turnkey solutions, has entered into a VAR-integrator partnership with XipLink to integrate hub optimization technology into its satellite access platforms, as well as for the distribution of the Xiplink product range in Africa. XipLink is a global developer and supplier of wireless bandwidth optimization products. The company's XipLink Optimization Software (XipOS) core product delivers SCPS-based TCP acceleration, streaming payload compression and XRT real-time optimizations for small UDP packets, while also integrating the XipLink Hub Optimizations (XHO) for optimal web traffic performance. The result is obtaining maximum capacity over stressed wireless links to give the best price/performance ratio in the satellite business. Q-KON is using the high-capacity XA-30K 155Mbps hub optimizer at the satellite gateway facility and low-cost XA-500 appliances at customer sites throughout Africa as part of the BB-X Solution.
BB-X is an example of how the Xiplink technology unlocks real business benefits to the business market. The BB-X service provides an end-to-end satellite business Internet access service that is optimized through the integration of VSAT, acceleration and content management technologies, and eliminates the classical cost-performance constraint of satellite technologies. It offers the small to medium enterprise (SME) market a completely new paradigm in performance and cost value. Executive management from both XipLink and Q-KON believe the combination of XipLink XHO integrated within the satellite access platform represents a solid match that will enhance broadband connectivity. As an authorized VAR-Integrator for the Xiplink range of technologies, Q-KON will also drive the distribution and integration of the Xiplink range of products to third-party operators, including the distribution and supply of the products.
