For Immediate Release
WORK Microwave Collaborates With XipLink for Increased
Efficiencies in Bandwidth and Traffic Prioritization
HOLZKIRCHEN, Germany — March 12, 2012 — WORK Microwave, a leading European
manufacturer of advanced satellite communications and navigation equipment, today
announced a partnership with XipLink, the leader in wireless bandwidth optimization technology,
that will combine WORK Microwave’s DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP with XipLink’s XA family of
scalable appliances. The combination of these technologies will deliver a wide range of wireless
link optimization solutions enabling more efficient bandwidth usage and traffic prioritization
across network layers for end-users.
“By partnering with XipLink, we’re able to combine the best traffic optimization features and
bandwidth-capacity management features from both companies and offer users an extremely
powerful device,” said Joerg Rockstroh, senior R&D engineer, WORK Microwave. “Our
combined solutions help ISPs effectively manage bandwidth and optimize traffic in real time
through an advanced level of cross-layer communication capabilities.”
The WORK Microwave DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP features OptiACM, the multichannel ACM
system, to support full integration of ACM capabilities in point-to-point and point-tomultipoint satellite network links. OptiACM compensates for disturbances in the satellite
link, caused by physical conditions such as humidity and atmospheric precipitation, through
real-time adaptation of transmission parameters according to link conditions. Because the
OptiACM feature is embedded in the DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP, it is able to receive

feedback from the receiver side and instantaneously change the modulation to ensure the
best possible usage of available bandwidth, without the need for any additional equipment.
Combining WORK Microwave’s signal optimization expertise with XipLink’s suite of traffic
optimization technologies provides several advantages to service providers, corporate networks,
and telcos. A key benefit is to enable real-time bandwidth availability by running XipLink’s trafficshaping QoS function via WORK Microwave’s DVB-S2 IP-Modem SK-IP ACM feature to
communicate openly across network layers and to provide users with an advanced, reliable way
to optimize throughput and increase the available amount of bandwidth. This combination
eliminates the need to pre-set often inaccurate minimum and maximum data rates to produce
more effective traffic prioritization, depending on available bandwidth, for the end user. This
process is calculated in real time by WORK Microwave’s ACM feature, which can also
determine the minimum and maximum data rates for each content type and has the capability to
handle up to 100 QoS classes.
At the core of XipLink’s Optimization Software (XipOS) lies its SCPS-TP-based (Satellite
Communication Protocol Standards) TCP acceleration solution, designed to fill the wireless link
automatically to maximum capacity while simultaneously guaranteeing packet delivery in the
event of data corruption or loss. Additionally, the XipLink Real-Time (XRT) optimization
capability compresses, coalesces, and prioritizes VOIP and UDP for up to 50 percent bandwidth
savings and packet efficiency without compromising quality.
“The collaboration between XipLink and WORK Microwave provides ISPs with significantly more
bandwidth and packet efficiency without sacrificing quality.” said Bruce Bednarski, senior vice
president of business development, XipLink. “By utilizing adaptive modulation control with QoS,
users can be assured they’re making the most efficient use of available bandwidth.”
