IPE-3000 IP Encapsulator

Logic Innovations' IPE-3000 is a solid-state, fully embedded IP Encapsulator. The IPE-3000 provides the necessary link between IP networks and broadband networks, enabling cost-effective point to multipoint content delivery. Logic Innovations' IPE-3000 receives IP packets from an Ethernet connection and encapsulates selected packets into an MPEG-2 transport stream per DVB or ATSC specifications. Once the IPE-3000 has encapsulated the data, it forwards the data packets based on the userdefined routing tables and performs Quality of Service (QoS) on a route-by-route basis. The output transport stream can then be forwarded to a multiplexer or directly to a modulator for the high-performance and cost-saving transmission of IP data over cable, satellite or terrestrial networks.

In other instances, the <i>advertised</i> price is higher than the price you actually pay when you order that item. The reason for this is MAP, or Minimum Advertised Price. </font></font></p> <p><font face="verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">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 <i>advertise</i> 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. </font> <p><font face="verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">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 <i>always</i> 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 <a href="mailto:info@satcomresources.com">info@satcomresources.com</a>. </font>
