Using Satellite to Extend IP Access

The Cisco Space Router revolutionizes the satellite industry by providing the ability to route IP traffic on the satellite. It eliminates the need to send data to and from an extra ground station, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

Cisco Space Routers extend IP access to areas not covered by traditional ground networks or 3G networks, delivering consistent and pervasive IP capabilities regardless of geographic location.
