GERMANTOWN, Md., March
3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia's premier satellite communications
services company, TS Global Network Sdn Bhd (TSGN) and Hughes
Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband
satellite solutions and services, today announced that Hughes is
providing its JUPITER™ System for a major technology
upgrade of TSGN's existing C-band satellite network. The
award-winning JUPITER System is the leading platform of choice by
operators worldwide for high-throughput, Ka-band satellite (HTS)
services; TSGN's offering of services beginning this month makes
them the first operator to do so over conventional C-band
satellites.
Hughes is supplying a JUPITER Gateway and latest generation
enterprise-class broadband satellite terminals at over 3000
locations. This advanced ground system will facilitate TSGN's
upgrading of its current C-band infrastructure, enabling the
company to refresh its technology with minimum disruption to its
customers.
"Advanced HUGHES 'System on a Chip' (SOC) technology, which is
at the core of the JUPITER System and terminals, enables
industry-leading, high-throughput performance of up to 100 Mbps,"
said TSGN chief executive officer Ken
Ho. "We needed a satellite system solution that provided
better operational efficiency and throughput performance. JUPITER
provides both, and most importantly enables us to manage all of our
satellite services through a single system. Its highly scalable
infrastructure not only allows TSGN to support tens of thousands of
sites, but also will set new standards in broadband performance.
This initiative will fast-track our goals in the satellite
communications arena and will herald a new standard of performance
for TSGN and our clients in Malaysia and the region."
"Service providers need cost-effective solutions for upgrading
their capabilities without necessarily uprooting their network
infrastructures," said Vaibhav Magow, senior director, Asia/Pacific
Region at Hughes. "This application shows that the many advantages
JUPITER provides for high-throughput satellites (HTS) can also be
realized using conventional satellites, and we are excited to
partner with TS Global Network to expand their services while
keeping overhead expenses under control."
