External Reflector Deployment
A satellite server is an Instant Connect component that extends the functionality of ICE Server but does not need to be co-located with the primary ICE Server system and does not need to run as a workflow inside a Kubernetes cluster. The ability to distribute audio processing elements throughout an operator's network improves network efficiency and scale by making it possible to locate traffic-intensive system elements at the edge of the network, closer to where they are being utilized.
