DPI traffic management devices optimize delivery of SLA-specified bandwidth to maritime subscribers and provide real-time, granular visibility of the network LONDON, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allot Communications (NASDAQ:ALLT), a leader in IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI), today announced that NSSL Satcom Solutions, a world leading provider of high speed wireless data and voice services for maritime, government, energy, media, finance and corporate sectors worldwide has deployed Allot's NetEnforcer traffic management devices at its satellite earth station in Florida, controlled via its Network Operations Centre in Redhill, Surrey. The NetEnforcer guarantees the optimized delivery of SLA-defined bandwidth and a consistent high quality of experience at all times for NSSL's superyacht customers. NSSL's customers require continuous broadband access for the reliable transfer of data on board some of the most exclusive motor yachts in the world. The Allot NetEnforcer has allowed NSSL to offer a bespoke managed data service capable of guaranteeing the delivery of pre-defined bandwidth for its fleet of customers, Premium Plus, (a dedicated broadband channel), Premium (2MB), Standard (1MB), and Economy (512kbps). The solution also prioritizes network traffic, manages peer-to-peer, regulates applications and enforces SLAs. The NetEnforcer has enabled NSSL to significantly upgrade its customer service by providing real time solutions for network issues. When evaluating market vendors, NSSL was particularly impressed with Allot's superior granularity, QoS, and management capabilities, and with the centralized management offered by NetXplorer, which enables the real-time monitoring and reporting of network utilization throughout its fleet of luxurious superyacht customers. "Because satellite capacity is so expensive, it's very important that we control the use of that capacity on the satellite very accurately," said NSSL Engineering Manager Ian Lewis. "The visibility provided by the Allot solution has become vital to managing our earth station efficiently. We can prioritize the various types of network applications in line with the specific needs of each vessel and ensure reliable delivery of the services they offer guests on- board," added Lewis. NSSL network operators have also become reliant on the real-time and long- term monitoring and reporting capabilities offered by the Allot NetXplorer centralized management system. "We have all of our different satellite beams covering ocean regions up constantly on our network operations centre on big screens and use those to monitor for utilization to see which vessels are using the most bandwidth, what the most popular applications are and so forth," noted Lewis. "So in essence, the Allot solution plays a double role for us: controlling the network and assigning bandwidth as well as monitoring and reporting." "NSSL's deployment of Allot's NetEnforcer solution in their earth station in Florida is another great example of how an Allot deployment can easily and quickly enable a satellite communications service provider to introduce a new level of efficiency and maintain a high level of customer satisfaction throughout the network," said Vin Costello, VP and General Manager of Allot Americas. "The added value of doing all this while reducing the company's overall capex and opex is yet another advantage of working with the NetXplorer centralized management system."
