VeloSky: The Future of Converged Network Connectivity

Chris Le

Enterprises are modernizing rapidly by adopting cloud and SaaS technologies at the same time as advancements like generative AI (GenAI) and agentic AI are reshaping network requirements. Modern networks must support higher bandwidth, more symmetrical speeds, lower latency, and more bursty traffic patterns. Companies today leverage all available resources to build reliable and secure networks, including integrating widely available wireless technologies like 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) and satellite connectivity.

Converged wired and wireless solutions have limited availability today, forcing enterprises to shoehorn wireless solutions into their environments. Unfortunately, these solutions are typically fragmented, purchased from multiple vendors, rely on multiple incompatible hardware devices, and are managed through disjointed consoles. They fail to effectively prioritize business-critical applications, leaving wireless networks underutilized even when wired infrastructure is congested—a frustrating scenario.

Simultaneously, service providers are striving to monetize their substantial investments in 5G networks. To achieve this, they must develop innovative business models that fully leverage the unique capabilities of 5G technology.

Enter VeloSky—a groundbreaking converged access solution poised to transform how service providers deliver network connectivity, offering them a unique value proposition to set themselves apart from competitors.

What is VeloSky?

VeloSky is a modern converged access platform that seamlessly integrates fiber, cellular, and satellite networks, and security into a single device. Tailored specifically for service providers, it empowers them to deliver a unique and differentiated solution to their customers, enhancing connectivity, reliability, and security.

VeloSky isn't just another networking solution—it's a comprehensive platform that offers these key innovations:

  • Converged wired and wireless hardware: Managing separate hardware for wired and wireless connectivity is a thing of the past. The VeloSky appliance integrates fiber, 5G, and satellite connections, reducing costs and streamlining operations. Its active-active configuration allows organizations to get more out of their wired and wireless links. With built-in security and a single management console, VeloSky enables enterprises to achieve cost savings and operational simplicity.
  • Application prioritization with AI-optimized performance: VeloSky ensures real-time applications get the bandwidth and low latency they require. Recognizing over 4,300 applications, it prioritizes business-critical traffic like video conferencing over non-essential traffic. Whether utilizing one wired and one wireless connection, both wireless, or wireless only, VeloSky identifies and prioritizes applications while automatically mitigating underlying circuit issues right out of the box.
  • Network slicing integration: 5G connections today are inherently “lossy,” meaning they tend to lose data packets during transmission, and therefore do not include any service level agreements (SLAs). Service providers are addressing this issue by creating multiple network slices optimized for different types of applications. VeloSky integrates network slicing into its solution by identifying and routing critical traffic over the appropriate slice, ensuring optimal application performance over 5G links.
  • Integrated security: Built-in Enhanced Firewall Service provides comprehensive protection, including intrusion detection, URL filtering, and advanced application-aware inspections. Integrating security into networking devices eliminates the need for external firewalls, resulting in cost savings, design simplicity, and streamlined operations. Additionally, managing both networking and security through a single console enables tighter policy integration.
