Satellite Link Bonding is transforming how businesses operate in Europe’s most isolated regions. For organizations struggling with limited connectivity, the ability to scale internet performance is often the difference between growth and stagnation.
A groundbreaking partnership between comBOX multi-WAN services and Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) now offers a definitive solution. By leveraging the KA-SAT satellite, businesses can now incrementally add bandwidth to their Wide Area Networks (WAN). This means you are no longer limited to a single, static connection speed; instead, you can scale your capacity by simply adding more links as your needs grow.
The Power of Satellite Link Bonding for Remote Enterprises
This solution ensures that organizations operating in remote areas across Europe can access high-speed, secure, and reliable internet services, regardless of their physical location.
Satellite Link Bonding is specifically engineered for:
- Remote SMEs: Small to medium companies located in rural areas that rely on satellite broadband and require constant, uninterrupted access to Cloud Services for daily workflows.
- Decentralized Organizations: Companies with a central headquarters and multiple branch offices outside urban centers that need secure, reliable data communication between sites.
- Critical Operations: Businesses that demand strict Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic prioritization to guarantee bandwidth for essential applications.
Achieving High Speeds with Aggregated Satellite Bandwidth
The true innovation lies in the ability to combine resources. Businesses using this new solution can take existing single internet connections from Eutelsat Broadband—which deliver download speeds of up to 22Mbps and upload speeds of up to 6Mbps—and bond them together.
Through Satellite Link Bonding, these individual links fuse to provide a stable service with significantly increased bandwidth. The scalability is impressive. For example, by aggregating the bandwidth of four Eutelsat satellite links, the total speed reaches 88 Mbps for download traffic and 24 Mbps for upload traffic.
How the Algorithm Works
The comBOX Satellite Link Bonding technology utilizes a specialized algorithm to effectively aggregate available bandwidth. This creates a virtual internet connection with speeds equal to the true sum of the individual connections used.
Unlike basic load balancing, this aggregated bandwidth is available even for a single session, such as transferring a large file. The data is sent simultaneously utilizing all available satellite links. Furthermore, the algorithm is self-tuning and adaptive, reacting in real-time to changes in the bandwidth and quality of individual links to maintain optimal performance.
Designed for Business Flexibility and Security
This solution is designed to offer businesses the flexibility, security, and certainty they require. It incorporates advanced features including:
- Real-time Data Compression: Reduces data usage to keep costs down.
- Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP): Mitigates latency inherent in satellite communications.
- TCP Tuning & Packet Order Correction (POC): Ensures smooth data flow.
- Quality of Service (QoS) & Priority Adjustments: Automatically manages bandwidth for data-intensive applications.
These features ensure data is transmitted at optimum speeds and service is maintained even during partial network outages.
Industry Leaders on the Partnership
The collaboration between these two industry leaders highlights the importance of this technology.
