Today’s challengeTrying to manage your satellite communications traffic is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly in today’s BYOD (bring-your-own-device) world. It’s not always possible to detect which devices are connecting to the satellite network, which applications they’re running, how much data they’re generating and how frequently they’re being updated.

Traditional firewalls are no longer effective at blocking the growing number of encrypted applications. Undetectable applications not only eat into your bandwidth allowance, but pose a potentially significant threat to your cybersecurity.

A lack of detailed, real-time reporting makes it difficult to see exactly how much traffic is passing over the satellite connection, until you get the bill. Or to ease congestion, bandwidth is suddenly throttled back and the user experience is poor.

Existing traffic management solutions for satellite communications struggle to handle these challenges.

INTEGRA is differentIt’s a complete solution that delivers the first real-time application control for your satellite communications and the easiest on-board traffic management. Running over a next-generation ground network that delivers reliable, end-to-end connectivity with multi-layered cybersecurity controls and optimised performance.

Block unwanted traffic. Save money and use your bandwidth more efficiently. Instantly.

Created by a satellite communications specialistAST has over 25 years experience in satellite communications. We sell services from all the major network operators and equipment from all the leading manufacturers. We’re dedicated to providing our customers impartial advice on satellite communication solutions they can rely on. Based on this in-depth experience in the application of satellite technologies, we created INTEGRA.

The ground segment is fundamental to delivering secure, end-to-end reliable, high performance for satellite communications. AST’s INTEGRA Network is based on the latest technologies available:

• Carrier-grade leased lines from satellite operators’ gateways to the internet

• Global IPVPN, which operates at 99.999% availability

• Optimised internet routing

• Data centres built to the highest industry standards

• POPs in New York, London and Sydney

• Redundant links for resiliency.

The INTEGRA Network can support connectivity to any satellite IP network and communications equipment. It currently supports connectivity to the satellite networks of Inmarsat, Iridium, Thuraya and VSAT services.

INTEGRA CyberShieldThe INTEGRA Network has multiple layers of cybersecurity controls to maximise protection against threats. The first layer, an advanced firewall, controls traffic and blocks abnormal connections. The second layer is web filtering

with anti-malware and anti-virus protection, and a default block on software updates. And the third layer is intrusion prevention. This provides near ‘zero-day’ protection against known and emerging threats, which can generate additional unwanted traffic.

End-to-end reliabilityThe INTEGRA Network delivers carrier-class connectivity from your satellite provider’s gateway into New York, London and Sydney POPs and onwards to the internet. It operates at 99.999% availability, with POP diversity and redundant links for greater resiliency. We have partnered with best-in-class data centres and terrestrial network providers to provide a trusted, reliable end-to-end connection.

Optimised performanceAST’s INTEGRA Network uses optimal routing to select the best possible path across an increasingly complex internet – taking latency, packet loss, route stability and congestion into account – to deliver improved, consistent performance than via standard internet carriers.
