Expand Networks Help Optimise Global Satellite Services With Inmarsat

Expand Networks, a provider of WAN optimisation for branch office consolidation and virtualisation, has announced its advanced WAN Optimization solutions have been validated by Inmarsat, a provider of global mobile satellite communications services.

Building on a successful relationship as an Inmarsat Connect Partner, this technology validation means Inmarsat’s global network of distribution partners can now confidently utilise Expand’s WAN Optimization technology to enhance their offerings by delivering and managing ‘virtual’ capacity as part of their service, assuring the user experience for customers worldwide.

Combining Space Communications Protocol Standard technology (SCPS) with compression, byte-level caching and layer 7 QoS, Expand mitigates the bandwidth and latency limitations that can traditionally affect the speed and performance of applications over satellite links. This enables service providers to pass on increased levels of quality of service and control, higher bandwidth throughput, reduced latency, and seamless delivery of business-critical applications to customers via WAN Optimization-as-a-Service.
