End-to-End VPN, aka Satellite VPN
An end-to-end VPN solution provides maximum security for your connection. It protects data both between the customer's remote and the teleport (via the satellite) as well as between the teleport and the customer's headquarters. While any VPN connection over satellite will experience some performance degradation, this solution provides the best performance in a true end-to-end VPN solution.
The latency
inherent in a satellite transmission can be troublesome with a number of standard computer applications. Virtual private networks (VPNs) will run at dial-up speeds—even on a high-bandwidth connection—if not tweaked for satellite conditions.
We support a variety of VPN solutions, with more being added daily. However, it’s important to recognize that not all VPN solutions will perform well over a satellite link. Before you invest in a VPN solution, be sure to discuss your plans with a sales engineer.

The VSR-30 from Encore Networks
This product provides support for IPsec VPN, stateful inspection firewall,
IP routing and QoS, and selective layer encryption (SLE). The ability
to perform SLE to IPsec tunnel switching is especially crucial, as it
allows Skycasters to offer both end-to-end on-net and off-net VPN. Encore’s
solutions enable satellite users running applications over IP to realize
the benefits of broadband communications without the performance degradation
often associated with satellite circuits.
