Based upon careful consideration of several factors including frequency of use (continuous or bursty) and desired application type (voice, streaming video, Internet browsing), CapRock selects and deploys the appropriate satellite technology. Each technology has unique benefits and is best suited for different situations.
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
TDMA delivers bandwidth efficiency and the flexibility to adjust capacity to demand by sharing a pool of bandwidth across multiple sites. CapRock's unique implementation of TDMA provides Committed Information Rates (CIR) and enables customers to also benefit from higher data rates through Burst Information Rates (BIR).Asymmetrical Single Channel per Carrier (ASCPC)
ASCPC provides dedicated bandwidth from the remote site to the hub and shared bandwidth from the hub to the remote site. This enables customers to receive bandwidth efficiency on the outbound channel. It is optimal for customers that send large volumes of data from a remote site to a central location such as corporate headquarters but receive smaller volumes of data at the remote site in periodic intervals.Single Channel per Carrier (SCPC)
SCPC provides dedicated bandwidth as space segment is reserved independently for each remote site on both the inbound and outbound links. It is most appropriate for high capacity requirements and continuous use such as streaming video.
