SkipWare®
by Global Protocols, Inc.
Overview
The flagship product of Global Protocols, SkipWare® was the industry's first commercial implementation of the Space Communications Protocol Standards Transport Protocol (SCPS-TP). Recognized today as the leading implementation of SCPS in the US DoD, SkipWare has the largest install base of any SCPS vendor, and has been specified for many of the US DoD's largest tactical and strategic satellite networks.
Standards and Certifications
Since the initial release of SkipWare v. 1.0, Global Protocols has focused on providing high-performance and ease of use, while remaining true to the original open-source SCPS standard. Users of SkipWare-powered devices can be assured of standard-compliance and interoperability. There are no proprietary technologies hidden in SkipWare that will lock the user into Global Protocols as the soul vendor of their network acceleration. SkipWare is fully compliant with Mil-Std-2045-44000, and has been JITC-certfied to operate in US DoD networks.
SkipWare has been successfully tested by the DoD for interoperability with many of the military's most common modem technologies, including iDirect INFINITI, ViaSat Linkway and Comtech EF Data Vipersat-based architectures. SkipWare is the specified acceleration for the US Army's Joint Network Node (JNN) program, as well as DISA's STEP and Teleport programs. It is currently in operational use on nearly 3,000 platforms worldwide supporting thousands of warfighters.
