The agreement also allows Datum to bundle XipLink’s appliances into a comprehensive solution. XipLink said that by integrating its XE-Series of wireless optimization software with Datum’s satellite modems, the resulting hardware would accelerate and compress TCP data for maximum capacity. Datum modems can be upgradeable by adding a new Q7 board into the chassis of the modem.

   “The XE-Series of software also will include XipLink Real Time (XRT) functionality to further extend and improve the current high performance Datum Systems line of satellite modems,” XipLink Senior Vice President Bruce Bednarski said in a statement. “Technical enhancements such as XRT will compress, coalesce and prioritize VoIP and UDP for significantly more bandwidth and packet efficiency without compromising quality. XRT can provide bandwidth savings up to 50 percent on this traffic classification.”

   The integrated Datum Systems/XipLink modems will be available for delivery in the summer of 2012.
