Creating a new, or expanding an existing network to include satellite, no matter where on the globe is fairly straight forward, but never the same for any organization. Our sales engineers can help answer any questions as well as create different quotes to compare your networking options.
Satellite Networking OptionsA Leased Line network (also known as a Total Private Network) increases security and improves reliability and performance because the satellite NOC (network operations center) is connected directly to the organization's headquarters via a leased line. A leased line is used with our standard shared service, or with our dedicated unshared SCPC service.VPN's use our standard shared iDirect service, and can use existing VPN equipment. However, not all VPN equipment works well with the inherent latency of satellite, and we recommend speaking with us to determine your VPN compatibility. If you are looking to create a new VPN solution, we offer the time-tested Encore
VPN tunneling solution.
Encore VPN Over Satellite Solution.Ground Control's Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) service offers unshared connection channels of up to 20 Mbps download by 7 Mbps upload. This true 1:1 contention ratio provides full speed connectivity at all times. Dedicated SCPC's can be shared by 1 or more client satellite dishes on the same network. Dedicated services often use a leased line to the satellite NOC teleport to establish a totally private satellite network. Dedicated Satellite Services
Most clients that don't require satellite networking use our Star Topology TDM/MF-TDMA iDirect network services. Standard services are global and have contention ratios below 20:1

Another popular networking option that can cut the costs of an expensive high-speed dedicated SCPC channel is to combine a high-speed shared service, used for normal Internet traffic, with a low-speed dedicated SCPC channel for high-security or critical information.A Point-to-Point
network consists of a satellite dish at one location connecting with a satellite dish (or dishes) at other locations. This topology avoids any terrestrial link (such as a leased line from HQ to the satellite teleport) making it viable private network. While Point-to-Point avoids the Internet, it may double the latency because data must travel twice to the orbiting satellite if it is required to route through the Network Operations Center. Some satellites avoid this 2nd hop by advanced routing onboard the satellite itself.
Specialty applications and hardware can be located at any of our teleport facilities world-wide. All co-location space is environmentally controlled and protected against fires and other disasters.
