SOPHT.net vs. LOCAL.net

A frequent and very understandable question is that regarding the relative merits of SOPHT.net & LOCAL.net. From the key standpoint of our intraG application technology pharOS, the differences will only become significant when pharOS/12 (P12) is launched as P12 is a fully web aware product built using the Microsoft .NET architecture. P12 will be highly integrated with our eBroadcast technology iSAS and this means that P12 will be available for LOCAL.net as a series of plug in components for intranets whilst under SOPHT.net it will be available as a fully featured remote broadcast service managed & maintained by SOPHTLOGIC.

For customers whose preference is locally hosted solutions we would therefore recommend the eSAT technology track of intraG whereby a fully configured iSAS satellite installation is deployed which may then deliver a local SOPHT.net service.

However, those various scenarios are only relevant to P12. Under the current pharOS/7 & pharOS/10 technology tracks LOCAL.net P10 is comparable with the SOPHT.net P10i and P10e tracks. The only significant difference between LOCAL.net and SOPHT.net in the P10 scenario is that SOPHT.net has a wider eBroadcast Channel Spectrum due to the additional broadcast capabilities which iSAS delivers. The typical SOPHT.net and LOCAL.net eBroadcast spectrums are shown below.

Items marked * are channels which are supported as part of a licensed LOCAL.net eBroadcast facility. However, day to day support and delivery for those components is the responsibility of the customer deploying applications & data services via the LOCAL.net signal.
