03/31/2022, 8:10 PMThis is a tough one. Satellite connections have fairly high latency, so there will definitely be a delay in responsiveness and interactivity in the session. There are many variables in this scenario that can influence how successful this solution would be:
What is the latency of the connection?
1. What’s the bandwidth available?
2. What type of work/activities will the users be doing within the session?
3. The users’ tolerance for delay can vary from one to another, either because of their work requirements or personal preference
4. The users’ tolerance for visual/graphics quality can vary from one to another, either because of their work requirements or personal preference
5. Graphics settings. Check out this article for some guidance on graphics settings for various scenarios: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/tech-zone/design/design-decisions/hdx-graphics.html
6. Redirection/optimization features such as BCR, multimedia redirection, Teams optimization, etc.
7. OS-level optimizations such as cursor blink rate (the more blinks, the more screen updates are sent), disabling menu animations, etc. The SBC tuning section of the WEM doc lists they key settings to look at. Citrix Optimizer also covers many Windows optimizations that are also important.
8. The user device platform. (Not all CWA platforms have the same capabilities, to mileage may vary. Windows would be recommended)
9. VDA 2112 or 2203 might be better here due to enhancements to Adaptive Throughput

03/31/2022, 9:32 PMand dont forget to tweak policies to adjust for WAN optimizations, there is a template for this in the policies section.

03/31/2022, 9:32 PMmight need to experiment with a few of those policies

04/01/2022, 1:42 AMI had a user on Hughesnet Gen 5 and they had 12-15mpbs. I followed a lot of Miguel advice, as well as the WAN Template. I had to tune things to get it working. The average latency was 200ms+.

04/01/2022, 1:47 AMI will say the Thin Wire stuff can be hard to wrap your head around at times. Especially for vGPU. I have always had to do a good bit of research before I start tuning these settings. That is a really good graphics doc by tech zone.

04/01/2022, 2:03 AMIf you take the time to read all this stuff Miguel Posted. I think it's amazing how much work Citrix has put into their products to make the thing that were impossible 10+ or so ago. Possible now. Seems like the HDX team really has their stuff together.

04/01/2022, 8:12 AMI used to have users on 64 and 128kb links working fine in Citrix. But with modern workloads - well let's just say I wouldn't expect Teams to be a good experience if using audio and video. As everyone says though - suck it and see
