Sammanfattning
In remote locations, internet access can be enabled using satellite connections, such
as the Iridium Satellite Network. The Iridium GO! device provides a bandwidth of
2.4 kbit/s. On such a low bandwidth it would take hours to download most modern
websites.
In 2018, a prototype which enables general web browsing on a low bandwidth was
developed at Charmers. The prototype acts as a proof of concept for the use of a
performance enhancing proxy server to extract data in order to reduce content size
and achieve viable loading times.
The 2019 prototype replaces components of the 2018 iteration, providing a faster
and more reliable service. In particular, no excess data is being sent and the delay
caused by compression and data extraction is notably shorter, resulting in a 66%
reduction on average to the time between sending a request and the moment the
first content arrives to the client.
