 InterSKY™-Maximizing Operator’s Profits

Shiron’s two-way broadband satellite communications system, InterSKY, provides fast and efficient multiservice and wide-
ranging IP applications even to the remotest locations. Providing future–proof transparent IP connectivity, InterSKY allows
service providers and enterprises to offer all communication applications while significantly reducing total cost of ownership.

Cost-effective technology – Fast ROI Universal Solution

InterSKY’s field-proven Dynamic MF-TDMA/BM-FDMA
technology, in combination with bidirectional ACM with
QPSK/8PSK/16APSK/32APSK DVB-S2 forward link and 8PSK
return link, provides 30%-50% greater space segment efficiency,
along with high-quality connectivity. Boasting more “bits per
Hertz" than any other comparable system, InterSKY is the
optimal solution, delivering better broadband satellite
connectivity at much lower Operational Expenses (OPEX).
The InterSKY System offers the universal future-proof
solution. A single InterSKY HUB supports multiple topologies
(star, multi star, mesh and hybrid), hundreds of groups, with
housands of customers over multiple transponders and
satellites. The InterSKY HUB’s great flexibility can meet all
customer network requirements.

Scalability That Grows with Your Business
InterSKY grows along with your business. A modular design
preserves the system’s ability to scale-up in both size and
capabilities with a growing number of subscribers and
bandwidth demands. InterSKY’s scalability allows service
providers to hand-tailor systems to individual budgets and
demands. With InterSKY, you may begin from a few remote
gateways with dedicated links, and expand to thousands of
terminals, combining both dedicated and shared
bandwidth groups.
MF-TDMA/BM-FDMA for High-Quality Voice and Video
Traffic-shaping and jitter-free Dynamic MF-TDMA/BM-FDMA
technology, along with excellent services, creates a great
advantage for real-time applications. Uniquely, these features
offer bandwidth-sharing, without sacrificing link quality.
Unlike traditional TDMA based solutions, Shiron’s Dynamic
MF-TDMA/BM-FDMA is based on bandwidth processing
technology. This generates dedicated carriers of varying sizes,
establishing temporary direct links to remote gateways.

 Highest Availability for Weather–Proof Service
InterSKY was designed to provide outstanding service in
all weather conditions. Outfitted with a combination of
“rainproof” technologies, bidirectional Adaptive Coding and
Modulation (ACM), Traffic Rate Control (TRC) and Automatic
Uplink/Downlink Power Control (AUPC/ADPC), the system
provides high-quality and reliable connectivity.
Shiron’s InterSKY - TRUE Broadband Everywhere™ solution enables service
providers, Telecom operators & enterprises to get the best from broadband
satellite with industry leading efficiency, scalability and reliability.
Service Providers and Enterprises
Broadband Internet Access
InterSKY delivers terrestrial quality high speed satellite
Internet access anywhere. Supported bandwidth and link
quality are aimed at corporate mission-critical Internet
connectivity, regional ISP’s, cybercafés and rural telecenters.
These can either be in the same location or distributed over
wireless communications such as Wi-MAX and WiFi.
Long Distance and Private VoIP
Voice calls over low-cost IP infrastructure are increasingly
widespread. More than ever, users consider VoIP capability
when purchasing their Internet connection or expanding
their private Intranet. Shiron’s advanced satellite
technology, coupled with VoIP protocols, extends voice
service beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks.
Bringing high quality telephony to remote locations in
the most efficient way, Shiron enables carriers to meet the
needs of customers anywhere.
Government
Governments rely on rapid and secure access to
information, as they must deliver health care, education
and network connectivity solutions to all citizens,
even in the most remote regions. InterSKY rises to the
occasion, bringing fast, reliable, always-on connectivity
and interactive applications wherever people need
communications services. In the case of natural or man-
made disasters, InterSKY is a fast and reliable
solution, providing broadband emergency services
immediately, anywhere.
Guaranteed Service Delivery
InterSKY’s Service Level Management (SLM) facilitates
delivery of the highest quality broadband services in
the most economical manner. Advanced QoS, based on
standard DiffServ techniques and MPLS /VLAN support,
guarantees service delivery according to the Service Level
Agreement (SLA) made with customers. Patented InterSKY
technology provides the best service quality in the market
with a jitter-free solution.
Videoconferencing
Videoconferencing over IP infrastructures has become
standard practice. InterSKY’s BoD (Bandwidth on Demand)
enables the cost-effective delivery of high quality satellite
videoconferencing. For telemedicine, corporate meetings,
videophone, distant learning, or peer-to-peer video and
voice, InterSKY is your answer.
Corporate Data/Intranet
As “the network is the business”, connectivity from remote
branches to corporate headquarters is vital. Offering pure
end-to-end IP networking capabilities, InterSKY enables
Intranet applications along with the corporate connection
to its Internet Service Provider. For any corporate network
over any geographical distribution, the InterSKY solution
provides reliable and secure communications.
Cellular Operators
Large parts of the world are without access to cellular
communications. Bringing this service to these areas
represents a great window of opportunity for satellite
communication. Providing cost-efficient cellular (CDMA,
GSM, UMTS, HSDPA) backhauling InterSKY eliminates high
costs associated with traditional SCPC and other dedicated
links, allowing carriers to share network capacity across
multiple locations.
 IP application with InterSKY
