Microspace MICROBURST Service
Velocity Microburst, from Microspace, allows Velocity data users to acquire occasional “bursts” of additional bandwidth. Many content delivery requirements call for a weekly or possibly a monthly update of new content to supplement their regularly scheduled delivery. This type of bursty content update is best served by a technology that allows users to increase the data rate of their fixed rate Microspace channel for short, medium, or longer periods of time. Users not only pick the amount of time, but also select the data rate to be utilized during that period of bursty traffic.
According to Greg Hurt, VP of sales and marketing, “MicroBurst is really the best of both worlds — getting high bandwidth satellite delivery and paying for it only when you need it. No need to pay for an additional full period 1, 2.5, or even 5 Mbps when you only need it for 1, 3 or maybe 5 days.”
Microspace Communications has over 20 years of experience in cost effective and reliable point to multipoint delivery of video, audio and data.
