The solutions will enable quicker transfers of time-sensitive data to military units around the world, often in mobile settings, such as Humvees in combat situations.

Designed to accelerate critical application performance over wide area networks (WANs), Orbital Data's TotalTransport software with AutoOptimizer technology improves application response time and data delivery speeds. It enables virtually any application that sends data between locations to run faster, increasing data throughput by up to 200 times and application response time up to 400%.

Orbital Data also offers a completely transparent solution for IP-based WANs, eliminating the need for any changes to current network troubleshooting tools, network services or applications.

With the company's AutoOptimizer technology, its WAN appliances auto-discover, auto-configure and auto-tune themselves to provide greater ease of deployment and ongoing management of WAN operations.

With the integration of Orbital Data's WAN optimization and application acceleration technology, and DataPath's mission-critical communications solutions for extreme environments, U.S. Department of Defense troops in theater can further increase the speed of their application's throughput.

"Orbital Data's commitment to innovation and reliability mirrors our high standards for providing the U.S. military with agile and powerful communications solutions," said Daniel White, vice president of engineering for DataPath.

"Our partnerships with Orbital Data and other innovators are critical to fulfilling the U.S. military's demand for robust and dynamic network-centric communications in extreme environments."

Orbital Data products incorporate the company's AutoOptimizer technology, which automatically selects the most appropriate mix of WAN acceleration techniques based on changing network conditions, data flows and application mix, which tend to constantly vary on typical military links.

AutoOptimizer auto-configures Orbital WAN appliances and then dynamically tunes them using a combination of acceleration tools, including multi-level compression, TCP flow control, application-specific protocol enhancements and service class policies.

The simplicity of AutoOptimizer's plug-and-play approach and its ability to automatically and dynamically tune the system for best WAN performance are important requirements for battlefield communications, particularly as military networks increase in scale and complexity.

"DataPath's battle-tested solutions provide a critical link in delivering time-sensitive data to military personnel in field operations around the globe, having seen action in Operation Allied Force, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom," said Richard Pierce, CEO of Orbital Data.

"By incorporating Orbital Data's WAN optimization technology, DataPath will be able to enhance the performance of their communications services, providing a more robust solution to the U.S. military."
