Target Applications IP Trunking Cellular backhaul Oil & Gas Military Maritime Homeland Security LIBRA in Point-to-Multipoint Architechture Dynamic C apacity Allocation NovelSat LIBRA is a satellite network management engine that seamlessly provides real-time space segment capacity allocation without remote terminal disconnection or data loss. This helps to ensure the best user experience in the daily satellite communications environment. The value of an SCPS-based satellite network architecture is as a tool for meeting Service Level Agreements (SLAs) through guaranteed bandwidth. Moreover, its low latency and low jitter characteristics are essential for real-time applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, broadcast and Internet. The drawback, however, is that SCPS leaves bandwidth unused when remote links are not fully loaded or are offline. On the other hand, in TDMA solutions, the satellite bandwidth is more efficiently utilized, but does not provide the quality or efficiencies of SCPC circuits.

A common Point-To-MultiPoint SCPC topology connects many remote units to a common Hub, where all remote modems share a pool of satellite bandwidth in each of the forward (Hub to Remote) links. Meanwhile, on the return (Remote to Hub) links, each remote uses its own satellite bandwidth.
NovelSat LIBRA provides operators with a flexible solution for offering quality communication links which can be adjusted dynamically based on instantaneous usage.
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation is used as a means of efficiently allocating satellite bandwidth resources to respond to varying bandwidth demands based on SLA and QoS definitions.
The NovelSat LIBRA management terminal monitors and manages the remote terminals’ resource utilization according to different scenarios per application, data load, pre-determined schedule, Quality of Service (QoS) rules, or
NovelSat LIBRA is part of NovelSat XneT – an optimized platform for Point-To-Multipoint satellite data links, it includes NS-HUB4000 Multi Rx IP demodulator Platform, NovelNet Network Management System and NovelSat NS3000/300X Satellite Modem series.

With this solution, a service manager can announce a different service capacity scenario for each site or group of sites; A site can have a Committed Info Rate (CIR) at all times, or a CIR with the option to increase capacity once available. In a third scenario, a remote site’s capacity can be defined to fall to a Minimum Information Rate if the site is lightly loaded or, alternatively, increase to a Maximum Information Rate if the site is overloaded. NovelSat LIBRA can accomplish this all automatically with zero data loss and without disconnection.
