Federal Acquisition Service Internet Access, Video Streaming and Broadcast Services  Network backbone links over satellite  Corporate VSAT applications  Consumer applications (video on demand)  Real time video distribution (IPTV) 7 GSA SATCOM Program Offers IP Based Services with Global Coverage Shared Access Services

Federal Acquisition Service 8 Continuity of Operations  Path Diversity using Satellite for to achieve COOP Providing satellite connectivity when terrestrial connection (frame relay, MPLS, T1, etc.) is not available. Routing Overview: Routes traffic over wire- line or satellite paths based on policy based rules Loss of primary path will result in all traffic being re-routed over the other path Upon restoral of primary link, all traffic re-routed back to primary path Satellite backup as “Insurance”
