For Corporate Networks, Broadband IP over DVBSkystar™ 360E

The ability to deliver Broadband content to all your business locations

with increasing speed, quality and reliability leads to increased operational

efficiency and provides a competitive advantage. The Skystar 360E offers

a flexible two-way satellite-based solution enabling interactive Broadband

IP and multicasting applications. With DVB standards and extensive IP

capabilities, the Skystar 360E supports virtually any data and IP multicast

application. The high-speed IP platform is ideal for

SOHO, SME and large corporations.

The Skystar 360E uses superior technologiesfor bandwidth assignment in order toincrease efficiency and improve networkthroughput.

Inbound Access SchemeThe unique Frequency and Time DivisionMultiple Access (FTDMA) scheme isdesigned to maximize return path bandwidthefficiency. It automatically distributes trafficacross the channel spectrum by allowingindividual remote sites to transmit on any

channel at any time. Consequently, the trafficload is balanced across the channels.

Turbo Coding & Collision ReductionApplication (CRA)Inbound Turbo Coding enables the operatorto better utilize the space segment increasinginbound channel speed.CRA is a sophisticated patented inboundtraffic load detection algorithm, whenactivated, it reduces the collision rate in theFTDMA access scheme.

A Skystar 360E network consists of a central hub, many VSATterminals based in dispersed locations, and a satellite channel.The hub consists of base band equipment and an RF terminal(RFT). Remote terminals are composed of a small outdoorantenna, an outdoor unit (ODU) and an indoor unit (IDU).The indoor unit is a stand-alone box that connects to the user'sPC (or different data device) via an Ethernet LAN or anoptional serial port. At the hub, the base band equipmentcontrols the satellite transmission and interfaces with thecustomer’s data equipment.

A user friendly Network Management System (NMS) providescentralized monitoring and control, using statistics, alarms,network configuration and report generation. Corporate contentis sent from the company's headquarters to the hub where it isup-linked and distributed to remote locations via satellite.Information can be sent to a single location, a group of locations

or all locations. Delivery confirmation andother data, including file uploads, are

sent back to headquarters via thesatellite return channel.

DVB Outbound - Complies with DVBstandards with encryption support

Superior Inbound Coding - Intelligentcoding algorithms and modulation forefficient usage of satellite bandwidth

TCP Acceleration - Enables effectivemanagement of the TCP overhead traffic

Embedded Software - Routing and clientsoftware already embedded in the IDU

Extensive IP Capabilities - Supports awide range of IP protocols and applications

Centralized Network Management - Remoteterminals can be monitored from the hub

Enhaced capabilities - Optional remotesite serial port (for X.25 or Async support)or four port Ethernet switch

Rapid Deployment - Fast and easyenterprise-wide deployment

Internet /Intranet

Two-Way Interactive Data CommunicationsThe Skystar 360E fully supports interactive TCP/IP applications.A typical package may include PoS or financial transactions,FTP, e-mail and E-commerce applications. Optionally, additionalinteractive data applications can be utilized on the same platformto carry X.25 or Async. traffic.

Broadband Internet/Intranet AccessThe Skystar 360E provides an “always-on” connection forinstant access to the Internet and corporate Intranet. Withoutbound bit rates of up to 52.5 Mbps, users enjoy high-speedconnectivity. The product embedded TCP/IP implementationcoupled with unique Internet browsing acceleration technologiesprovides high performance and an enhanced user experience.

IP MulticastIP Multicasting, the delivery of data to a defined subscriberbase, is useful for applications such as file distribution andsoftware downloads. Data can be targeted at a specific group,whether they are employees or customers. Satellite multicastensures that information is delivered simultaneously, withoutsending multiple copies.

Video ConferencingThe Skystar 360E supports interactive video conferencingbetween the hub and the remote offices. In this way, internalcorporate meetings can take place between headquarters andvarious branch offices. Participants can see and hear each otherfrom TV screens or monitors and can benefit from realistic andinteractive communication.

Corporate TrainingCorporate training via satellite allows employees to be updatedwith the latest developments in the company, regardless oftheir location, without incurring travel costs. With DVBtransmission, the Skystar 360E enables employees to see andhear their instructor from their remote PC or TV.

Voice over IP (VoIP)VoIP can be easily integrated over the Skystar 360E usingexternal IP-telephone devices. With VoIP support, the Skystar360E can provide an integrated telephony and data solutionover the same platform.

Business Enhancement OptionsThe Skystar 360E is a flexible platform which enablescorporate networks to leverage their VSATs by addingrevenue-generating applications and supporting customermodular solutions, all in one box.

Additional LAN PortsProvides additional flexibility for the Internet/Intranet usersin a SOHO/SME’s environment. Embedded four port EthernetLAN switch is integrated in the VSAT to provide additionaluser ports.

Additional Serial PortConnecting to X.25 or Async enables additional businessservices such as PoS, ATM and credit card readers or dial backup via an external modem.

Enhanced IPEnhanced IP features can be added to the VSAT in order toreceive higher operability within complex IP environments.Features in this package include: RIP, IRDP, DHCP, NAT,IGMP and more.

Internet Page Accelerator™ (IPA)The IPA feature improves the performance of Web browsingand Web applications. With IPA, users surf the Web, using astandard commercial Web browser.
