GNFC launches SkyIP terminals for satellite

MUMBAI: Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company (GNFC) has recently

introduced their first SkyIP terminal. The company along with US based NSI

Communications has introduced this new concept of Satellite technology by

combining advantages of SCPC and TDM technologies.






GNFC director, PB Nanavati said, " This product would provide the ideal
solution for extending corporate networks to remote offices."






The SkyIP terminal provides a satellite communications solution completely based
on Internet protocol. It integrates the satellite modem and the router function

into a single unit. This approach not only eliminates the cost for an external

router but also allows true bandwidth on demand. By locally monitoring the data

buffer at the SkyIP terminal and forwarding the rate to central controller,

SkyIP applications achieve automatic bandwidth on demand.






SkyIP’s IP based technology offers remote offices a range of telecommunication
services, including Internet access, LAN/WAN interconnects, voice, data and on

demand videoconferencing. This communication solution provides seamless

integration with existing corporate networks and Internet.






SCPC is a point-to-point network topology, equivalent to a conventional leased
line cable of delivering 2 Mbps or more bandwidth. The TDM technology is

equivalent to packet switched network capable of delivering time insensitive

data.
