Public Safety Network Replaces Legacy Analog Radio Lines with Starlink and the IP-Tube VF’s RDP Option
Aptos, CA – [09/10/2025] – Engage Communication, a leader in secure and reliable networking solutions, announces a breakthrough in optimizing Starlink’s satellite network for real-time data transmission. By leveraging Redundant Delayed Packets, Engage Communication enhances the reliability and continuity of mission-critical streaming applications, ensuring seamless communication even in challenging network conditions.
The Challenge: Unreliable Aging Communication Services
The rural community of Big Sur in the County of Monterey was faced with an unreliableaging emergency communications system located in challenging topography of mountains, canyons, redwood forests, creeks and beaches covering 234 square miles along California’s Central Coast. Public Safety is responsible for over 2,000 year round residents and over 5 million tourists annually. Aging analog lines across the network had begun to deteriorate, leading to signal degradation, unwanted crosstalk, and frequent disconnections that compromised communication reliability and safety.

The Solution: IP-Tube VF E&M with Starlink Integration
Engage Communication provided an IP-Tube VF E&M configured for 600-ohm analog over IP, which demonstrated exceptional performance and reliability. However, Starlink’s Engage Communication provided an IP-Tube VF E&M configured for 600-ohm analog over IP, which demonstrated exceptional performance and reliability. However, Starlink’s inherent latency variations and packet loss required Engage Communication to develop an innovative solution. Engage Communication invented a software option that mitigates the Starlink data loss by providing backup packets that compensate for missing or delayed transmissions. Engage released the version of this software option under the name: Redundant Delayed Packets (RDP).
The IP-Tube product line, paired with Redundant Delayed Packets (RDP), ensures reliable transmission over Starlink to meet the real-time operational needs while upholding stringent expectations for continuous service availability. This combination offsets latency shifts and packet loss, maintaining smooth voice, video, and telemetry. Ideal for public safety, defense, and industrial sectors, it delivers resilient connectivity in demanding satellite environments.

Once the solution was formally approved, it was deployed on site. As a result, voice communications were stabilized, and the longstanding disruptions affecting emergency response operations were fully resolved.
Key Benefits of Redundant Delayed Packets in Starlink Networks:
Enhanced Reliability – Mitigates data loss by providing backup packets that compensate for missing or delayed transmissions.
Reduced Latency Spikes – Smooths out performance inconsistencies caused by satellite transitions.
Seamless Satellite Handoffs – Ensures continuous data flow, preventing interruptions in live streaming applications.
Improved Quality of Service (QoS) – Critical for VoIP, video conferencing, and telemetry-based communications.
Fault Tolerance – Adds an extra layer of protection against Starlink’s dynamic routing and congestion issues.
Who would benefit from this application:
Public Safety Radio
- Ensures continuous radio dispatch and emergency coordination during satellite transitions
- Improves reliability for rural and remote first responder networks
Telcom Service Providers
- Preserves TDM circuit integrity over satellite by minimizing packet dropouts
- Enables transparent transport of legacy voice services across modern IP/SAT backbones
Utilities/Oil and Gas
- Enables real-time SCADA and telemetry over satellite at remote sites, replacing aging copper infrastructure
- Improves operational visibility and control for pipelines, substations, and offshore facilities where terrestrial networks are impractical or obsolete
