Maindata, Spol. S R.o., Bratislava

MAINDATA has been manufacturing IP encapsulators with built-in 2-layer QoS for over 10 years. The first customer for IPE and HYBRID-NET was the World Bank, Washington D.C. (I.B.R.D). MAINDATA IPEs have reflected customer feedback so they are more complex and fit to service provider business models.

Resellers are able to manage their part of bandwidth directly by themselves, and do service provisioning to its subscriber base. We have implemented a "Fair usage policy" that allows service providers to sell defined volumes of traffic - so called "packages" - to subscribers. Part of our complex satellite internet platform is the MAINDATA proprietary solution HYBRID-NET allowing a combination of any IP return channel with DVB IP forward link. As it is fully integrated into IPE and IPE manager, management of subscribers is done at one place. We are developing DVB
