Richard Swardh, Senior Vice President, MNO of Comtech EF Data commented
on the project, "The MNO has stringent requirements, including the need
to realize the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for its satellite
bandwidth and the desire to achieve the highest Quality of Experience
(QoE) for its 2G voice traffic and high-speed data services including HD
video conference applications in its 4G/LTE network. These constraints
necessitated the integration of several state-of-the-art solutions from
Comtech, including the award-winning DoubleTalk®
Carrier-in-Carrier®, the latest Forward Error Correction,
VersaFEC®-2, the fastest packet per second (PPS) satellite
modem IP Processor, and Memotec's WX solution, which opens up LTE's S1-U
interface GTP tunnel and directly optimizes the subscriber's Internet
traffic, all under the dynamic SCPC (dSCPC) bandwidth management system.
We are delighted that our solution suite delivers exactly what the MNO
needs in its network requirement."
