Ottawa, Ontario: Cost-effective anytime, anywhere communications for any device in remote mining camps is now possible with networking solutions from Viva Networks.

Viva Networks, a leading provider of complete, end-to-end fixed terrestrial and satellite-based network provisioning, monitoring, maintenance and management services now equips its satellite-based communications networking solutions with intelligent bandwidth management capabilities. Based on the most advanced networking technologies, intelligent bandwidth management provides all personnel in remote mining camps with trouble-free use of reliable and secure voice, video, data, and web browsing applications with the highest quality of service (QoS), wherever and whenever they need it.

"Intelligent bandwidth management is engineered to efficiently and effectively monitor, manage, direct and route multimedia communications traffic to and from remote sites at all times," said Gilles Desmarais, President, Viva Networks. "By putting intelligence into the network, we ensure the reliability, performance and security of business-critical communications, while supporting the personal communications needs of employees. This reduces the overall cost of delivering high quality communications services to remote sites, and it ensures our customers get the best return on their network and bandwidth investment."

Viva Networks intelligent bandwidth management is engineered with advanced load balancing, traffic shaping, and network management technologies that go beyond traditional satellite connection services. These technologies ensure that all users get their fair share of available bandwidth at all times. They significantly reduce delays in all IP-based traffic. And they improve the overall quality of experience (QoE) for all applications on any device.

Load balancing continuously monitors network traffic, identifies the number of users, and automatically allocates bandwidth based on each user’s need. Traffic shaping technology analyzes traffic patterns and automatically prioritizes time-sensitive traffic, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video. And network management technologies monitor, measure and report on network and application quality of service (QoS) and proactively perform application layer deep packet inspection to enable bandwidth management, shaping and filtering, while maintaining a high level of security.

"These technologies ensure that all users always have access to an optimal level of bandwidth for their applications," said Gilles Desmarais. "They also improve network response times and traffic flow. As a result, remote mining operations don't have to suffer from poor communications network performance caused by employee applications on personal devices fighting for bandwidth with business applications over the same network. The intelligent bandwidth management we build into the network makes sure that priority traffic always gets the bandwidth it needs, and that personnel always have high quality access and service to connect with family at any time."
