BC 2007 - AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND and
OTTAWA, CANADA – Aug 28th, 2007 - Unlimi-Tech Software
today announced that FileCatalyst, its industry leading accelerated
file transfer suite, is now being used by Broadcast Microwave
Services Inc. (BMS) to increase file transfer speed across
its TCII Media Router, which is embedded in ENG vans around
the world.
The BMS TCII Media Router, when
paired with the BMS Truck-Coder II, provides high speed IP
communications over a uni-directional microwave radio link.
A 3G broadband wireless modem is used as the return channel
while also providing a low speed constant network connection,
regardless of the availability of the microwave link. The
Media Router allows for file transfers using traditional methods
such as FTP. However, with FTP, high round trip times, and
packet loss due to interference can cause transfer to run
slowly, and fail frequently.
Featuring patent-pending acceleration
technology with less than 1% overhead, on-the-fly compression
and byte-level incremental transfers, FileCatalyst is able
to overcome the bottlenecks imposed on traditional file transfer
methods. It is able to achieve the optimal data transfer rate
regardless of network impairments.
"FileCatalyst is designed
to be integrated with any file based workflow with minimal
effort," said Chris Bailey, CEO Unlimi-Tech Software,
"BMS was able to take our solution, and plug it into
their workflow within a couple of days. The results were immediate."
"FileCatalyst gives us 4 –
5 times higher throughput than traditional FTP when using
the Microwave link," explained Dr. Jonathan Bramwell,
an Engineering Manager at BMS, "This allows us to provide
reliable file transfers at real time rates that are 20x that
of the 3G broadband wireless connection alone."
