Group Quality of Service (GQoS)
The prioritization of network communications traffic is very important for many military and government agencies. With systems deployed globally and utilized for many different applications, within many different environments, it’s essential to be able to allocate the appropriate amount of bandwidth to meet the needs of the end user.
Group Quality of Service (GQoS) from iGT provides a powerful, comprehensive set of management tools allowing network operators to better manage satellite bandwidth to meet the needs of complex programs. Operators can prioritize bandwidth across a diverse range of end user groups and applications, creating tiered, multi-service levels that eliminate under-utilized bandwidth and provide a more affordable, diversified service package.
Group QoS utilizes a hierarchical bandwidth methodology whereby each bandwidth, service and application group can be configured by:
- Priority
- Cost
- Committed Information Rate (CIR)
- Maximum Information Rate (MIR)
Group QoS provides the ultimate in control to guarantee that real time applications get the bandwidth they need during mission critical situations. iGT offers the only network management system with this level of integration for bandwidth management dependant on application.
- Modify service levels:
Service levels can be modified for different groups of remotes, locations, technology applications or other specifications. Included are recognizing applications by their bandwidth requirements and ensuring real-time data sharing for voice, videoconferencing and other mission critical operations.
- More flexibility to support diverse user profiles:
Support customers with diverse profiles due to either multiple applications and traffic requirements such as VoIP prioritization, or multiple sub-segments, spanning regions and end users. Traffic can be differentiated by groups of remotes; applications; VLANS, or all of these simultaneously.
- Reclaim under-utilized bandwidth:
Reallocate unused bandwidth across the network. Operators can bundle multiple customers with diverse user profiles onto the same bandwidth, saving space segment costs.
