Project using Network-Coded Tunnels for Satellite Links wins ISIF Asia Award 2022
The Network coded tunnels for satellite links project, led by the University of Auckland (New Zealand), is one of the winners of the ISIF Asia Award 2022. Project leader Dr. Ulrich Speidel accepted the award at the APNIC54 conference in Singapore.
The project lets remote island communities in the Pacific make more efficient use of the satellite Internet connections they rely on, with the help of Network coded tunnels, and uses Steinwurf’s RLNC powered software to help achieve this.
Many congratulations to Dr. Speidel and his past and present collaborators across the Pacific on this great work being recognised.
Improving remote Satellite links are a great use of Network Coding not only from a technical standpoint, but also addresses very valid social need, while cities and well populated areas often tend to get the best communications investment and connectivity, we need to make sure that remote locations and populations have quality connections too.
