IPricot is launching the IPR-S1010 FR, its brand new Frame Relay integrated satellite router receiver designed to receive the outbound carrier at the distant site at a very competitive price.

The IPR-S1010FR main functions are:

• Receiving any QPSK, 2-45Msymb/s carrier
• De-encapsulating the Frame-Relay data based on the customer DLCI channel allocation
• Forwarding the extracted data directly on the customer LAN through its 10/100BaseT Ethernet/Fast Ethernet port

Key Advantages

This new Frame Relay solution is offering a number of key advantages to the Operator and its customers:

• It takes the best of the 2-Way DVB platforms for Point to Multi-point platform enabling Assymetric IP services tailored to customer need
• The operator does not have to invest in an expensive redundant IP/DVB Gateway to offer carrier class IP backbone services (potentially the operator only needs to add some new interfaces to its existing teleport router infrastructure)
• It minimizes protocol overhead, increasing the bandwidth efficiency and therefore reducing the overall satellite cost (especially for small VOIP packects).

Finally The IPR-S1010 FR is offering an all in one solution for the reception and data forwarding of the outbound channel at a very cost effective price. It has been tested and validated with a satellite operator platform.

MAP PRICES

There are places on our web site and in our print ads, where the spaces for prices are intentionally left blank. In other instances, the advertised; price is higher than the price you actually pay when you order that item. The reason for this is MAP, or Minimum Advertised Price.

MAP is a voluntarily agreement a retailer enters into with a supplier. According to the agreement, which varies in details from vendor to vendor, the retailer can sell an item for any price they wish, but may not advertise the item for an amount less than the Minimum Advertised Price. These agreements help level the playing field for both the small retailer and the giant retail chain. Retailers agree to MAP contracts because the vendor makes it worthwhile for them to do so. A retailer who abides by the agreement can count on getting first news and early shipments of new products, and generally enjoys a "favored" status.

At Satcom Resources, while we abide by our MAP agreements, we want to make it as easy as possible for you, our customer. Where there is a lower selling price and we can, we will volunteer it -- no need for a nod-and-a-wink or a secret password. At Satcom Resources, our lowest selling price is always what you pay. Some Online Retailers make it difficult to tell you about lower-than-MAP prices. At Satcom Resources, we've set up workarounds. Either we ask you to call, or we will e-mail the price.If you still have any questions about MAP policies, feel free to contact us via e-mail at info@satcomresources.com.
