UltraBand 200SP


The UltraBand 200SP reduces bandwidth and network infrastructure costs, and improves end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) by caching redundant P2P and HTTP traffic within the service provider network. This single enclosure platform with integrated caching and storage elements is ideal for cost-sensitive satellite backhaul and small tier service provider environments.

The UltraBand 200SP helps service providers reduce the impact of Internet video applications, file sharing and downloads on costly Internet backhaul links. The compact 2U platform enables service providers to reduce capital equipment and operational expenditures, enhance service margins, improve subscriber satisfaction and retention, and open up bandwidth for new revenue opportunities.

The UltraBand 200SP delivers an extensive set of media caching, video acceleration, and content control capabilities including concurrent HTTP and P2P caching support with flexible configuration options, IP transparency, and rich content filtering and control.

UltraBand 200SP Satellite Backhaul Applications

The UltraBand 200SP is ideal for network operators that require satellite backhaul delivery in remote locations where physical connectivity is unavailable or prohibitively expensive. The UltraBand 200SP stores and delivers content locally - reducing bandwidth consumption and satellite transmission costs, and minimizing the impact of weather-related satellite disruptions.

A plug -and-play solution, the UltraBand 200SP is installed in an average of 30 minutes. The platform features remote configuration, troubleshooting, and service capabilities for unattended operations.

The UltraBand 200SP is ideal for satellite backhaul and international transit environments where providers are burdened by high circuit costs and expanding video delivery demands.


 


Various video and file-sharing applications consume over two thirds of today’s consumer Internet bandwidth. Internet video traffic is growing at unprecedented rates and outpacing ISP network capacity expansion. Expensive transit links, peering links and access network links wastefully transport the same files over and over.

The UltraBand 200SP eliminates the repeated transmission of P2P and HTTP content objects over expensive transit or peering links, enabling ISPs to free up Internet capacity without increasing transit bandwidth fees. And since cached traffic is served to the subscriber at the fastest speed of the service provider access network, ISPs enjoy higher user satisfaction, lower churn, more rapid subscriber growth and greater adoption of premium broadband packages.

UltraBand 200SP UBView enables network and system administrators to monitor UltraBand 200SP system health and observe the traffic and service quality of HTTP video streaming and P2P download services. This intuitive, browser-based interface delivers system management functions, plus aids in network capacity analysis and planning, service level monitoring, and traffic engineering. Administrators leverage UBView to monitor the health of UltraBand system components, observe the impact of bandwidth-intensive video traffic on costly Internet transit links, and assess service quality levels.

With UBView, ISPs can keep tabs on UltraBand 200SP performance, make certain network capacity is aligned with demand, and ensure subscribers are enjoying optimal service quality. By optimizing bandwidth utilization and subscriber QoE, ISPs can open up capacity for new revenue opportunities, enhance service margins, and improve subscriber satisfaction and retention.


 
PeerApp Performance
  "With PeerApp we need half the caching hardware we would need if we use other caching appliances. And by supporting the most protocols and services, the UltraBand is able to produce more bandwidth savings for the same amount of traffic.

Perhaps most importantly, our users clearly notice that YouTube no longer waits to buffer the video."
