How file bloat drives up the cost of satellite communications

In a defense environment it's of critical importance to ensure the rapid, unimpeded passage of information. Satellite technology fulfils an essential role for defence ensuring troops stay connected wherever they are, however the data charges are high.

Typically, military reports and briefings include many pictures, maps and graphics that result in file sizes exceeding several megabytes. Bloated files such as these are extremely expensive to deliver across satellite networks when at sea or 'in the field'.

Also, caps on email inbox sizes and attachments are the norm on defence networks – it's not uncommon to see inbox caps as low as 50MB and attachment limitations of just 2MB. These can easily be hit by just a few image-heavy files, resulting in undelivered attachments.

NXPowerLite solutionne le surpoids des fichiers

NXPowerLite Desktop Edition attacks file bloat at the core, reducing Microsoft Office, JPEG and PDF file sizes by up to 95%*. It integrates with your email client to automatically optimize Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPEG and PDF email attachments as they are sent, ensuring that email attachments can be sent quickly, without fear of bounce-backs.

Using NXPowerLite dramatically cuts the cost of satellite communications for remote users in the defence market. The best thing is, the end-user doesn't have to do a thing - the entire process is completely automatic. Critically, files remain in their original format, so the recipient doesn't need NXPowerLite to open or edit the file.
