The Role of Satellite in Today’s Broadband World
MPLS:
– Replacing frame relay
– Pushed by telcos as they migrate to IP
infrastructure
– QOS, Mesh, typically fractional T1 access
– Relatively expensive
DSL
– Coverage varies between 50% and 85% of
enterprise locations
– Performance dependent on location
– No QoS/SLAs
– Needs VPN for networking
Cable
– More limited coverage than DSL
– No QoS/SLAs
WiMax
– Underdeployed
– Will compete primarily with DSL
Performance:
– High Throughputs (2Mbps+)
SLAs:
– Full managed network
– Performance and network SLAs
MPLS Like QoS
– Full Mesh small dish to small dish
– Classifier to allow service differentiation
– Multiple service plans from a single terminal
– Bandwidth on demand capability and billing
– Low jitter services
Roles:
– Primary networking:
▪ Full mesh with additional service plan overlays
and on demand bandwidth
▪ Ideal for small networks as well as large
– MPLS network integration
▪ Integrates with MPLS backbone
▪ More bandwidth and availability than typical
MPLS network (using HAN configuration)
▪ Lower cost than MPLS
▪ Additional service overlay (e.g. internet
access/teleconferencing)
– Backup networking
▪ Overlay of terrestrial network infrastructure
with high speed and on demand bandwidth
▪ High capacity trunking and back up
