FatPipe has released SATBoost, a proprietary software-defined wide area networking solution for satellite networks.

SATBoost is engineered to accelerate and stabilize connections across SpaceX’s Starlink, Viasat, and Amazon’s upcoming Project Kuiper LEO network.

SATBoost uses FatPipe’s patented multipath link aggregation algorithms to optimize how data packets are compressed, cached, and routed.

SATBoost improves satellite links through ground-segment software logic rather than physical hardware modifications.

SATBoost has completed pilot testing and is deployed across several enterprise verticals.

SATBoost can increase data throughput speeds across low-Earth orbit satellite links by up to 300% out of the box.
