New Satlink Software Version from STM Reduces Network Operating Expenses.Released Software Includes Unique Design for Embedded Header Compression IRVINE, Calif. -- As part of its ongoing effort to add new features and enhancements to the Satlink DVB-RCS DVB-RCS Digital Video Broadcasting - Return Channel Via Satellite product line, STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) A microscope that can image down to the atomic level. An STM uses a piezoelectric tube with a tiny sharp tip at the end that is moved within nanometers of the object being sampled. announced today the deployment of its latest Satlink System Software Release-11 across several networks. The new software release includes embedded Header Compression for further improvement in bandwidth efficiency, particularly for networks with extensive use of VOIP (Voice Over IP) A digital telephone service that uses the public Internet as well as private backbones instead of the traditional telephone network. Many companies, including Vonage, 8x8 and AT&T (CallVantage), typically offer calling within the country for a and all types of UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil. (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. traffic. "One of our goals is to continually reduce the OPEX See CAPEX. for our network operators," said BjE[sup.1]rn Platou, General Manager of STM Norway. "Our latest Software Release lowers the network operating costs by increasing the amount of actual information carried within the satellite bandwidth." STM's VSAT (Very Small Aperture satellite Terminal) A small earth station for satellite transmission that handles up to 56 Kbits/sec of digital transmission. VSATs that handle the T1 data rate (up to 1.544 Mbits/sec) are called "TSATs. product portfolio, including the Solante product line, is known among the operators for providing superior voice quality with low system delay. The new implementation of the Header Compression in the Satlink System Software Release-11 carries the same commitment to quality performance by incorporating a unique implementation to minimize additive delay resulting from improved bandwidth efficiency. The innovative design applied to Release-11 is optimized for operation in the MF-TDMA MF-TDMA Multiple Frequency Time Division Multiple Access return channels where capacity is dynamically adjusted as a result of voice calls or changes in data traffic. This design employs traffic shaping in combination with the Header Compression feature to ensure low packet jitter and predictable bit-rate requirements, both essential for quality VOIP calls. Additionally, the unique implementation maintains consistent voice quality in the face of occasional packet loss by avoiding differential packet header encoding. About STM Group: STM Group, Inc., based in California, is a telecom solutions provider with a number of global subsidiaries using VSAT technology for IP-based networking, telephony, cellular and bandwidth on demand data applications. STM has a regional presence in Europe, Russia, Asia, the Middle East, and North and South America, along with a number of in-country sales representatives in many parts of the world.
