To better serve our licensees, Global Protocols actively assists in the sales and marketing process wherever it is requested. This has included direct interaction with end customers, pre-sales engineering, participation in marketing events such as trade shows and speaking engagements, press interaction, and even contributing to proposal responses to RFPs. It is in our best interests to see our licensees make sales, and to that end we offer whatever assistance is requested of us.

The SkipWare Brand

Since its initial release, SkipWare has been synonymous with SCPS acceleration. With 1000s of fielded SkipWare licenses currently supporting 10,000s of users, the brand brings instant recognition and validation to any product that bears it.

Although SCPS is an open standard, it is clear to anyone that has worked with the various SCPS implementations in the market today that not all SCPS were created equal. While any implementation that follows the open standard will allow for cross-vendor interoperability, they do not necessarily provide the same level of performance when talking to disparate vendor devices.

SkipWare has consistently been shown through independent 3rd party testing not only to provide the highest degree of bandwidth efficiency of any SCPS implementation in the market today, but also to provide the highest level of cross-vendor interoperability. Because SkipWare is deployed so extensively, including in the US DoD's primary bandwidth provision facilities and largest tactical networks, it is likely that any fielded SCPS device will at some point interconnect with a SkipWare product. To be assured of not just interoperability, but optimized interoperability, choose SkipWare for your next SCPS-based network deployment.

GPI provides both hardware solutions and engineering consulting services for custom wireless protocol implementations for the satcom, radio, terrestrial wireless, and wireless telemetry markets.

Global Protocols, Inc. announced today the release of a US Army report detailing the performance benefits of operating SkipWare-enabled devices in an Inmarsat military satellite network. The report is based on tests conducted by the Research Development and Engineering Command (RDEC) at Ft. Monmouth, NJ in support of the PM/Battle Command on the Move (PM/BCOTM).

The test architecture consisted of a turboIP installed at the C4ISR Testbed at Ft. Dix, NJ and a peer turboIP installed in a remotely deployed HMMV (Humvee) at Ft. Benning, GA. The objective was to determine the performance characteristics of the SkipWare protocol on the turboIP PEP in an Inmarsat-on-the-Move setting. The 64 kbps Inmarsat channel was subjected to a latency of 900 ms, a bit error ratio of 1 x 10-8, and a series of scripted, repeated blockages. Even under these extremely rigorous conditions, the Army reported bandwidth efficiencies of 95% and only a .4% retransmission rate. They also noted rapid recovery from link outages, and a significant reduction in retransmission timeouts. The report concluded that "The field demonstration data shows significant improvement using the turboIP with link intermittent outages due to blockages by terrain, foliage and man-made objects."
