Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The turboIP-G2 is Comtech EF Data’s next generation turboIP Performance Enhancement
Proxies (PEPs) product, built specifically to meet the satellite acceleration needs of current
Department of Defense (DOD) Satcom programs. The turboIP-G2’s smart congestion controls
allow it to accelerate in the DOD’s most complex networks, and is compatible with the U.S.
military’s most commonly deployed Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technologies.
The turboIP-G2 combines standards-compliance, interoperability, DOD security and management
features, and Wide Area Network (WAN) optimization into a single commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) platform. It serves as a true plug-and-play device that can be dropped into any network –
regardless of the architecture – with virtually no user configuration required. Accelerating at
speeds of 15, 45, or 155 Mbps, the turboIP-G2 works equally as well as a hub device or a remote
site PEP.

Figure 1-1 shows the turboIP-G2 chassis, which is available in three versions – as a 1/2-Width
unit (shown at top), or as a Full-Width 1RU unit with either removable or fixed hard drive. For
the purpose of brevity, all versions are collectively referred to throughout this manual as the
turboIP-G2.
