SINGAPORE, June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CommunicAsia,
Meeting Room: MELATI 4001B (Level 4)
– Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in
broadband satellite networks and services, today announced that its
JUPITER™ System platform has been selected by five service
providers to help bridge the digital divide across Indonesia. The service providers – including
Lintasarta, Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN), Teleglobal and
Telkom/TelkomSat – won the tender bids from BAKTI, a division of
the Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Information, to
deploy 8,000 cellular backhaul and Internet access sites using over
7 GHz of satellite capacity across multiple satellites.
Each service provider independently chose the JUPITER System as
part of its winning solution to extend cellular services to
Indonesians in areas outside the reach of terrestrial (fiber or
microwave) networks and to connect government offices and community
centers to the Internet.
"The selection of the JUPITER System by each of the winning
service providers is testament to the value of Hughes
technology in meeting operator needs for high performing,
economical and efficient satellite solutions," said Vaibhav Magow,
associate vice president, International Division at Hughes. "The
JUPITER System shines as the platform of choice in Indonesia and around the world, with its
superior architecture enabling cost-effective satellite broadband
to connect the unconnected."
BAKTI required that the winning bidders employ High-Throughput
Satellite (HTS) capacity, necessitating a flexible ground system
solution that readily accommodates HTS spot-beams. Moreover, the
latest JUPITER technology incorporates Layer 2 functionality to
seamlessly integrate high traffic terrestrial and satellite traffic
– supporting the acceleration of 16,000 TCP sessions – an essential
feature for applications with many simultaneous users, such as
cellular backhaul.
Designed with advanced DVB-S2X, the JUPITER System employs
16APSK return channels to deliver more bits per Hertz, which,
combined with reduced spacing of the return channel, yields higher
bandwidth efficiency and lower service cost for operators.
