Alternative solution to dedicated links;
Maximize throughput over suboptimal existing network
infrastructure
August 27, 2018 -- Comtech EF Data Corp., a subsidiary
within Comtech Telecommunications Corp.’s (NASDAQ: CMTL) Commercial
Solutions segment, announced today the introduction of new
Durostream AHA725 and AHA723 WAN Optimization appliances with
packet protection from its AHA Products Group. The AHA725 model is
packaged in a 1RU rack-mountable chassis and supports WAN data
rates up to 1 Gbps. The AHA723 is the compact form factor model
that supports WAN data rates up to 50 Mbps.
The Durostream WAN Optimization solution provides a resilient,
full-duplex, point-to-point survivable tunnel that dynamically
adapts to network conditions to maximize throughput and minimize
latency. The products address the challenge of packet loss on
unreliable networks when streaming video or transmitting
time-sensitive data.
At just 1% packet loss on a 1 Gbps WAN link and 10ms round trip
time, a normal unprotected link using TCP/IP will only achieve 2.8%
of the theoretical throughput as opposed to 96.6% if the same link
is protected with Durostream. Forward error correction technology
and header compression are employed to ensure protocol overhead and
latency due to retransmissions are minimized while retaining the
ability to overcome sustained packet loss rates of 75%.
Durostream is particularly suited to protecting VoIP traffic,
streaming video, live event broadcasts, public safety and critical
infrastructure communications, business continuity and disaster
recovery operations, remote backups, and general data transfer. By
placing a Durostream appliance at both ends of a WAN link, data
loss and decreased throughput due to suboptimal network
infrastructure can be avoided.
“Our Durostream product line enables the use of unreliable
existing network infrastructure for broadcasters, enterprise and
government users,” stated Joel Bifford, Sales Manager for AHA
Products. “Having two model options allows even cost-sensitive
users with lower bandwidth and limited space applications to
leverage the operational benefits of Durostream on previously
unusable networks.”
