| In today's globally connected world, communications connectivity and bandwidth have become critical factors in military operations and battlefield success. Over the past 15 years, US military forces have seen an almost 60-times explosion in bandwidth utilization per warfighter. Studies have shown that the probability of military mission success more than doubles with high-quality communications. Reliability, capacity, latency, and accuracy are all critical elements that must be addressed for mission success.
The Federal Government and, in particular, the Department of Defense have made it a priority to harness the power of IP network-centric communication architectures to revolutionize access, mobility and speed of communications. At the same time, real-time applications are playing an increasingly vital role in the success of mission-critical activities.
The problem is that real-time application quality breaks down on today's IP networks, limiting the warfighter's and support agencies' ability to achieve mission success. Rivulet has the solution for enabling high-quality performance of mission-critical real-time services over IP. Rivulet’s solutions provide significant advantages to improve warfighter communications and battlefield success:
- Better access to net-centric (GIG) resources for the warfighter and support agencies
- Greater reliability and accuracy
- Improved speed and bandwidth availability, especially over limited satellite links
Rivulet's solutions also help modernize and streamline the key government core network to enable this high level of performance:
- Eliminate roadblocks to a fully converged network
- Move traffic from leased facilities to DISN IP core
- Cap and retire legacy networks and equipment (TDM, ATM)
- Increase utilization of bandwidth-constrained IP links (e.g., satellite)
