GERMANTOWN, Md., Sept. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (Hughes), the world's leading provider of broadband
satellite solutions and services, today announced the release of
the second generation of its JUPITER System, with new capabilities
that boost satellite service providers' return on their investments
by raising the performance of consumer, business, and mobility
applications to new levels.
The new release of JUPITER builds on the established success of
the first version as one of the world's most widely deployed
satellite networking platforms, and features support of DVB-S2X—the
satellite industry's latest approved air interface standard.
Incorporating a second-generation System on a Chip (SoC-2) and new
family of broadband VSATs (Very Small Aperture Terminals), the
JUPITER System yields improved operating economics for satellite
service providers, notably through highly efficient allocation of
bandwidth available for sale to customers. DVB-S2X is widely
recognized as the most bandwidth efficient standard developed for
satellite transmissions.
"This new JUPITER System gives service providers a powerful
array of tools to put every possible available bandwidth into
profitable use," said Ramesh
Ramaswamy, senior vice president, International for
Hughes. "It has already contributed to the success of
HughesNet Brazil's launch and later this year will underpin
expansion of HughesNet high-speed satellite Internet service in the
U.S. with the launch of the EchoStar XIX satellite. Major global
operators, such as Yahsat, are also taking advantage of JUPITER
with DVB-S2X support to offer new high-performance plans in their
markets."
The new HT2000 family of broadband terminals includes versions
for a wide range of markets including consumer, enterprise,
trunking, and aeronautical mobility. Designed around the powerful
SoC-2, every HT2000 remote terminal supports 200 Mbps of throughput
to deliver even the most demanding applications. Hughes has also
enhanced the JUPITER System's gateway architecture for improved
scalability and performance. Beyond its flexible and robust design
featuring lights-out operation, the new release employs extensive
virtualization and advanced blade server technology resulting in as
much as 10 Gbps of capacity per rack, ideal for operations on High
Throughput Satellites (HTS). For conventional satellites, the same
architectural approach enables cost-effective operations on up to
four satellites in a single blade chassis.
