Expand Networks, www.expand.com, the largest supplier of WAN Optimization products to US Government and Military agencies, will be demonstrating the latest innovations in acceleration techniques for optimizing high-latency satellite networks in the most challenging military, government and remote environments at AFCEA West 2011.

Expand will showcase how its Virtual and Mobile Accelerators are advancing the scalability and performance of WAN optimization, even under the most extreme network conditions; on aircraft, mobile environments and remote and unattended locations. Visitors to the booth can view a live-demonstration of the Virtual Accelerator to learn how agencies such as the US military and homeland security agencies use Expand Networks technology to enhance satellite communications across the harshest of operating environments.

Howard Teicher, Vice President for Public Sector & Satellite Markets, explains, "Expand's technology continues to lead the way in military and government satellite optimization through our work with the US military and other key agencies. Our Accelerators are battle-proven in Iraq and Afghanistan with US and NATO forces and are being adopted around the world. Most recently the Defence Acquisition Programme Administration of South Korea, installed over 350 Expand Networks' Accelerators across all of its armed forces."

The $multi million investment into Expand Networks' advanced satellite optimization technology, will improve the performance of critical applications and communications over low bandwidth - high latency satellite links to enable fast and reliable connectivity for all army, navy, air force and special forces satellite communications.

Howard Teicher concludes, "Expand's proven combination of byte-level caching, efficient compression and TCP acceleration turns these satellite communications from a risk into a robust communications asset, supporting the success of missions across the asymmetrical warfare of today."

Expand Networks will be demonstrating its Virtual Accelerator at AFCEA West 2011, from January 25th-27th at the San Diego Conference Centre.
