Via Satellite: How is the advent of hybrid communications affecting your business?
Gelerman: We are well positioned for hybrid satellites such as Amazonas 2, and our solutions include successful and simultaneous operation on both traditional bentpipe transponders and on-board-processing payloads for mesh applications through satellite due to compatibility of our VSAT terminals and hubs equipment with both.
Via Satellite: How is the growth of IP-based communications affecting you?
Gelerman: Our company determined that future developments will move towards the IP domain, therefore, we developed a series of integrated solutions, based on powerful routers, supporting quality of service, MPLS, OSPF, additional applications, encapsulators and performance enhancements proxies applications. We combine all existing interfaces like serial RS-530, V.35 PDH (T1/E1, T3/E3), SDH/SONET (OC-1, STS-3), ASI MPEG TS HSSI and can transmit them simultaneously encapsulated in IP. We call it “Everything-over-IP.” Also, with built in quality of service adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) is ideally suited for IP application.
Via Satellite: What products are most in demand today?
Gelerman: The highest demand is presently coming from high-end, standard-based (DVB-RCS) VSAT products and related RF equipment.
Via Satellite: What applications will drive your business in the future?
Gelerman: IP-based and video applications for the military and broadcast, while our incremental business will be driven by ISPs. In regards to improving instant bandwidth utilization, we rely on our TDMA/FDMA combined solution which provides superior efficiency. Increased integration of micro-hubs, improved IP-related product features and incorporation of encryption will allow us to target new market segments. Improvements of return satellite access schemes and ACM capability in the return links will bring the SCPC and TDMA markets together, enabling our customers to address both market segments with a single Hub platform.
