S-X Accelerated Broadband

 

S-X is an end-to-end enhanced satellite internet access service that is optimised by content management technology to move the market paradigm and set satellite as the preferred broadband access solution.  This service is available on all Q-KON's satellite internet access platforms.

It is designed for small-to-medium enterprises that want leverage broadband access and cloud services. The access solution eliminates the classical cost-performance constraint of satellite technologies and offers the SME market a completely new paradigm in performance and cost value.

Using two-way bandwidth optimisation savings and performance enhancement technology the S-X solution profiles offer up to a 5Mbps user experience at ADSL comparative rates anywhere in Southern Africa.  This addresses the budget constraints of SME’s whilst at the same time unlocks the value of true high-speed, uncapped broadband access services.

The solution was specifically developed to address the budget constraints of SMEs while at the same time unlock the value of true high-speed and uncapped broadband access services.

Acceleration & Optimisation

The S-X Service provides two-way bandwidth optimization savings and performance enhancement. The services are implemented in standalone devices, with a shared unit at the Teleport as well as a device at each remote VSAT site.  Users at remote sites gain the full benefit of protocol spoofing and acceleration as well as data stream compression in both the upstream and downstream directions. This is useful for sites that may be moving content upstream or sites that require the absolute maximum capacity from a VSAT link. All TCP protocols get accelerated including SMTP, FTP, POP and IMAP.  Data is compressed using the best algorithm available over each connection  bi-directionally.

 

Key Benefits

  • An affordable VSAT service for small-to-medium business
  • Uncapped Internet Access Services
  • Integrated Internet caheing engine
  • Traffic prioritisation and QoS services
  • Total control & management by local NOC
  • Quick deployment and relocation as needed
  • Deployment anywhere - No 7km last mile limitation as with ADSL
  • Highest available service - no cable theft problems
  • Static Public IP addresses are provided
  • Includes provision for VoIP channels (G.729a) with QoS

Satellite on Demand (10-4)

Satellite-on -Demand is an end-to-end Internet access service that is optimised by usage managment technology to move the market paradigm and set satellite as the preferred broadband access solution.  This service operates on the Q-KON que-X satellite access platform.

 

It is designed for small-to-medium enterprises that want leverage off broadband internet access, cloud services and IP telephony services. The managed access solution eliminates the classical cost-performance constraint of satellite technologies and offers the SME market a completely new paradigm in performance and cost value, allowing the subscriber to manage and control his internet access patterns and usage.

The Satellite-on-Demand solution also known as 10 – 4 offers a 10GB capped usage profile at 512kbps / 4Mbps user experience at competitive rates anywhere in Africa with traffic shaping when reaching the allowed usage profile or 2GB top-up packages to continue on the unshaped profile. It includes an additional firewall and PPTP access management services to complete the requirements for providing a world-class access service for the SME market.

The solution was specifically developed to address the budget constraints of SMEs while at the same time unlock the value of true high-speed and capped broadband access services.

Acceleration & Optimisation (Standard)

The Satellite-on-Demand service provides one-way bandwidth optimization savings and performance enhancement. The services are implemented through a shared unit at the que-X Teleport and with a PPTP client device at each individual remote VSAT site.  Users at remote sites gain the full benefit of protocol spoofing and acceleration as well as data stream compression in the downstream direction. This is useful for sites that may be moving content upstream or sites that require the absolute maximum capacity from a VSAT link. All TCP protocols get accelerated including SMTP, FTP, POP and IMAP. Data is compressed using the best algorithm available over each connection in the downlink direction.

Remote PPTP Management Gateway (Standard)

Designed for small organizations and distributed environments, the Satellite-on-Demand remote management gateway includes an extensive list of features and integrated services, including PPTP client dialler for secure authorization, authentication and accounting, DHCP Server, NAT, Firewall services, Bandwidth Management and Content & Protocol filtering options.  All these services allow the VSAT traffic to be minimised and optimised to enhance users’ experience to the full.

Key Benefits

  • An affordable VSAT service for small-to-medium business
  • 10GB Capped Internet Access Services for up to 5 -10 users with high speed 512kbps / 4Mbps access provisioning
  • Once usage Cap of 10GB is reached the access connection will be shaped to a lower best effort service profile - not disconnected - until the start of the new calendar month or 2GB top-ups can be requested.
  • Total control & management by local NOC
  • Subscriber portal for usage management and control
  • Quick deployment and relocation as needed
  • Deployment anywhere - No 7km last mile limitation as with ADSL
  • Highest available service - no cable theft problems
  • Static Public IP addresses are provided
