Amongst the various products and services provided by Afrique Telecom, Virtual Private Networks (VPN) is an excellent way to ensure secure connections, and significantly improve the transmission of your data.

The UDgateway®-VPN is the first appliance specifically tailored to high-speed VPNs supplied via satellite. All key IP functionalities (such as addressing, routing, security, caching, etc.) are embedded in the appliance, along with performance-enhancement technology.

The core technology, developed by UDcast is based on bi-directional TCP acceleration, and the HTTP pre-fetching as well as Web the and DNS caching. Users will appreciate the significant improvement in quality.

A VPN can be created on a satellite-only infrastructure or on a hybrid infrastructure (i.e., combining satellite and terrestrial accesses). The connections between remote sites can be based on all types of public IP networks, and more specifically on the Internet.
