NetworkAdvantage™ is ideally suited to managing bandwidth for streaming and multicast sessions over satellite. Satellite systems bypass the complex web of landline networks, multiple carriers, pricing schemes and billing procedures, minimising the risk of network congestion. The complexity of varying bandwidth pipes and network routers in terrestrial networks often causes interruptions to streaming sessions, effectively limiting Quality of Service. By exploiting the benefits of a guaranteed bandwidth pipe over satellite, NetworkAdvantage™ can define a target group of receivers, allocate required bandwidth for the duration of the session, and provide a very high Quality of Service.

At session initiation, NetworkAdvantage™ dynamically allocates transmission frequencies to the target group of remote sites, so that defined users can access streaming sessions at the right time.

With NetworkAdvantage™ a remote site can also request bandwidth to initiate a high quality individual streaming session.

Key Benefits:

• Flexible receiver groups can be defined for multicast sessions
• Exploit satellite capacity for guaranteeing bandwidth, ensuring uninterrupted transmissionessential for streaming
