Steinwurf's OTAcast solution uses RLNC for satellite content delivery
Steinwurf's OTAcast solution for content delivery over satellite links is now aviailable to dial up the efficiency in satellite networks.
Ground devices often require the same file be sent to hundreds or even thousands of devices at once, whether updates or other content.
Traditional satellite broadcast methods can be very wasteful, but OTAcast uses RLNC to make every packet received by a device useful, speeding up delivery and freeing up capacity for other use cases. Steinwurf's latest blog simulation provides a comparison:
