AlphaStarDIRECT - Commercial Satellite Broadband
Our Technology

Our Technology
By integrating the most advanced satellite transmission technology with the latest innovations in IP networking solutions, AlphaStar's system enables the pervasive deployment of satellite-based IP networks worldwide. Historically, terrestrial services are technically appropriate for IP networking, but their coverage is limited to less than 5% of the world's land mass.

AlphaStar started with a clean slate and set out to deliver efficient two-way TCP/IP over a satellite link so users would receive the "look and feel" of terrestrial services. AlphaStar achieved that goal with our acceleration technology by optimizing every aspect of the system for TCP/IP traffic.

AlphaStar's system is

  • Optimized for TCP/IP transmission, overcoming slow start and throughput issues associated with traditional VSAT systems.
  • Built with Quality of Service mechanisms providing prioritized data delivery during heavy usage periods.
  • Continuously monitoring the Customer Premise Equipment allowing for fast support response times.
  • A connectionless system design allowing for greater efficiency and lower costs than traditional connection oriented VSAT systems.
  • Based on a programmable architecture that allows for future enhancements to be delivered transparently via satellite.
  • Supportive of a simple Ethernet connection allowing for quick set up and ease of operation.
  • Scalable without hardware changes and with one simple phone call.

Satellite networking solves the availability and reach problem for a large portion of the population, but for the most part traditional satellite suffers from fundamental problems of high cost and low performance. AlphaStar patented technology removes the performance barriers of latency to enable satellite to become a viable data networking solution for any business deploying an IP network.
