Metrodata and Mentat are partnering to offer cost-saving solutions for satellite networking. By utilizing Metrodata’s Ethernet-to-serial interface converters, users can connect Mentat’s SkyX satellite link accelerators into a satellite network without requiring a separate router.
Mentat’s SkyX Gateway and Client/Server combine multiple acceleration techniques including TCP-to-XTP protocol translation and data compression, to enhance the performance of data transfers over satellite networks.
Metrodata offers the LH1000 Ethernet-to-serial interface converter to connect SkyX Gateways and Servers directly to standard satellite modem interfaces.
