Satellite Networking Enters the Mainstream with SD-WAN

live webinar (mar 13, 2024, 8:00 am pt)
With Tony Fallows, Chitresh Yadav

Satellite networks have emerged as a pivotal connectivity option in today’s age of pervasive, any-to-any communications, especially for areas underserved by traditional broadband. Initially, it delivered the global coverage that bridged the gaps in remote and challenging terrains. Today, not only have traditional MEO and GEO satellites enabled broader connectivity but the rapidly growing constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites have unlocked use cases that require low latency and increased bandwidth.

And paired with modern implementations of SD-WAN, enterprises are able to optimize, secure, and provide visibility across satellite connections. The combination of advancements in satellite connectivity with state-of-the-art SD-WAN capabilities presents a new era of global digital connectivity.

During the session, attendees will learn:

• Use cases in diverse environments: Insights from deploying satellite and SD-WAN in maritime, aviation, and remote locations.
• Overcoming connectivity challenges: Strategies for addressing common satellite network issues like high latency and limited bandwidth.
• Innovative solutions for optimization: How intelligent link bonding and TCP optimization enhance satellite network performance.
• Integrating advanced security: The importance of security features within the satellite networking context.
• Operational benefits of SD-WAN: The role of SD-WAN in streamlining operations and improving network efficiency in satellite communications.
