The Technology - How we do it

SSi builds advanced satellite and wireless networks primarily in locations where terrestrial communications infrastructure is unavailable. We use an advanced satellite platform to send and receive data at each remote location. These networks support full mesh connectivity, allowing any site to talk to any other site in a single satellite hop. This is critical for voice and video conferencing technologies. Dynamic bandwidth allocation is also supported, allowing the network to efficiently allocate bandwidth where it is needed most. In order to maximize performance and reduce the impact of satellite latency, various technologies are used, including transparent web caches and IP accelerators. These networks are designed to be highly scalable and can be adapted to meet changing needs.

As a complete ISP solution, SSi’s networks are optimized to support and deliver licensed wireless technology to both commercial and residential end users. As with the satellite component of these networks, the municipal distribution system is quite advanced and boasts several distinguishing features. Firstly, the wireless solution is based on NLOS (non line of sight) technology, meaning that users do not have to be able to see the antenna directly in order to get service. Secondly, the technology is extremely non-invasive, and does not require any external cabling or antennas. The wireless modems are very easy to use and can be self-installed by users. Many of our wireless networks operate in licensed frequencies, minimizing the possibility for interference and allowing for greater broadcast power (improving signal strength and coverage).

General Network Overview

• Full Mesh TDMA
• Broadband DVB inbound
• TCP Acceleration
• Traffic Shaping
• Bandwidth On Demand
• Multi-Point Video Conferencing
• Complete vISP Solution

We manage many of the networks that we build. We operate two geographically redundant satellite network operations centers that control and manage these networks on a 24x7x365 basis.

SSi is unique in that we are able to provide complete turn-key solutions to our clients. We handle all aspects of the project and through this are able to offer our clients benefits beyond typical service offerings. At the end of the day, we will deliver a world class, efficient and successful network that lights up on schedule. As a satellite & wireless solutions provider we offer:

• Business case development for deployment of private satellite networks
• Design, deploy & manage client satellite infrastructure
• Upgrade/expansions of services deployed over a given network
• Wireless deployment via licensed & unlicensed frequencies
• Point to point and point to multipoint capabilities
• Consulting services
• IP Gateway Services / QOS / Traffic Shaping
• Full Mesh branch office voice & video interconnects
• Comprehensive ISP account management system (Aria)

We are proud of the fact that our networks have been recognized by industry leaders as some of the most sophisticated networks on the market. We thrive on keeping it that way. We are constantly evaluating the latest technologies in order to further expand the quality and scope of our services.
