VPN Over Satellite
In the past, the greatest hurtle for using VPN over a satellite connection was the loss of speed performance do to the high-latency nature of all satellite communication. Some VPN performance hits are so bad as to make it non-viable. Today many more VPN solutions have powerful latency workarounds and we recommend you speak with a Ground Control sales representative to confirm your VPN is satellite compatible. Please call 805-783-4600

VPN Over Satellite Design

Ground Control Has Very Low-Latency

Ground Control's premium iDirect satellite network is ideal for VPN because it comes close to the absolute minimum possible over satellite (476 milliseconds). Our iDirect network consistently has a latency between 500 to 650 milliseconds. Consumer grade satellite services are twice that figure (between 1000 to 1500 milliseconds). Lower latency = increased VPN performance.



Dedicated, Hybrid and Standard Shared Services
There is more than one kind of satellite network to run your VPN over. We have dedicated unshared networks, or shared networks, or a hybrid of the two where just the VPN can be routed through a dedicated channel, and all other traffic is shared. Ground Control can help you match the best network design to your performance requirements. Information on Dedicated / Hybrid Services. Information on Shared Services - Global Map.
