Sift. The network that thinks.
The world's first asymmetric satellite intelligence engine — combining a revolutionary one-way downlink architecture, AI-powered edge orchestration, and proprietary transport acceleration to cut your LEO data costs by 50% or more.
Maritime Connectivity Is Broken
Vessels face an impossible choice between expensive LEO data caps and high-latency alternatives. Either way, you overpay.
LEO Data Caps Hurt
Starlink caps at 50GB–5TB. OneWeb at 100GB–1TB. A single 4K movie can eat 50% of a 50GB plan. Overage costs are brutal.
Traffic Is Asymmetric
Maritime traffic is 80%+ downlink. But LEO plans count both directions equally — you pay for bandwidth you never use.
Hybrid Is Complex
Managing multiple networks — LEO, GEO, LTE — requires constant tuning. Most solutions just add complexity without real savings.
Costs Are Exploding
Crew demand for streaming and social media grows every year. Your connectivity budget wasn't built for unlimited consumption.
One Engine. Infinite Paths.
Sift sits at the edge of your network and thinks about every packet. It classifies, decides, and routes — all in real-time, all automatically.
Traffic Arrives at the Edge
Every request from crew and systems flows through the Sift Edge Gateway. The AI engine begins analyzing each connection instantly — before a single byte is committed to a network path.
Real-Time Classification
Sift's AI identifies every flow by its true nature — not just ports or protocols, but application behavior. It knows the difference between a Zoom call, a Netflix stream, a software update, and a critical SCADA transmission.
Intelligent Routing Decision
For each classified flow, Sift selects the optimal network path. Latency-sensitive traffic stays on LEO. Bulk downloads, streaming, and social media are instantly routed to the most cost-effective alternative — GEO, LTE, 5G, or any available network.
Smart Acceleration
Before a single offloaded packet leaves, Sift's proprietary acceleration technology prepares it for the alternative path. The result: streaming, downloads, and browsing perform exactly as if they never left your LEO connection.
Your LEO Bill Drops By Half
By intelligently offloading 60-80% of your downlink traffic, your LEO data consumption plummets. You need a smaller plan. You pay less. Your crew notices nothing — except maybe faster streaming.
What Sift's AI Decides
Sift's AI automatically classifies every flow. Here's what the decision looks like:
| Traffic Type | Examples | Path | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| VoIP | SIP, RTP | LEO (low latency) | Sift prioritizes real-time experience |
| Video Conferencing | Zoom, Teams, Meet | LEO (low latency) | Sift prioritizes real-time experience |
| Real-Time Monitoring | NTP, ICMP, SCADA | LEO (low latency) | Sift prioritizes real-time experience |
| Web Browsing | HTTP/HTTPS | LEO | Sift keeps interactive traffic fast |
| Streaming Video | Netflix, YouTube | Offloaded | Sift saves your LEO quota |
| Social Media | Instagram, TikTok | Offloaded | Sift saves your LEO quota |
| Software Updates | OS updates, apps | Offloaded | Sift saves your LEO quota |
| File Downloads | Bulk data | Offloaded | Sift saves your LEO quota |
Sift's AI makes these decisions in milliseconds — no rules, no policies, no human intervention.
Sift Isn't a Monitor. It's a Decision Engine.
Most platforms show you what's happening. Sift decides what to do about it — in real-time, at the edge, on every packet.
Asymmetric by Design
Sift is built on a fundamentally different architecture. All uplink stays on your existing LEO connection — low latency, no TDMA, no timing issues. Bulk downlink is intelligently offloaded to the cheapest available path: GEO broadcast, LTE, 5G, or any network you choose.
AI That Routes, Not Just Reports
While others track your QoE with dashboards, Sift's AI engine actively classifies every flow at the edge. It recognizes applications, detects encrypted traffic patterns, and routes each packet to the optimal network — all without human rules or intervention.
Breakthrough Acceleration
Offloading is useless if the experience suffers. Our proprietary transport technology ensures that traffic routed through alternative paths performs indistinguishably from LEO. The details are protected. The 50% savings are yours.
It's Not SD-WAN. It's Sift.
SD-WAN balances links. Sift reimagines the entire architecture for satellite-first, network-constrained environments.
| Traditional SD-WAN | Sift | |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Balances traffic across symmetrical links | Asymmetric — LEO uplink, bulk offloaded to cheaper networks |
| Intelligence | Rule-based or basic load balancing | AI-driven at the edge — real-time classification, encrypted traffic detection, per-packet routing |
| Cost Model | Same cost per GB on every link | 50%+ reduction — bulk downlink off your expensive LEO quota |
| Acceleration | Standard TCP optimization | Proprietary transport layer — makes offloaded paths perform like primary links |
| Deployment | Enterprise routers + software agents | Purpose-built edge gateway with embedded AI routing engine |
| Designed for | Office / enterprise multi-WAN | Maritime, aviation, remote — satellite-first, constrained environments |
It's not SD-WAN. It's Sift.
