• Dynamic and customized allocation of the bandwidth.
• Complete management of the network thanks to a monitoring platform.
• Applications priority policy.
• VoIP voice compression to 12 kbps.

Shared access options above.

Three satellites: W3A (Eutelsat), IS 903, IS 907 (Intelsat).

Three VSAT teleport hubs: Eutelsat Skylogic Teleport at Turin and Intelsat teleports (1.7Mbytes pdf) at Fuchsstadt in Europe and at Mountainside in the USA.

Quality of Service (QoS) equipment is used at each hub allowing the full management of the bandwidth.
