Hughes Network Systems announced Friday it is introducing a new broadband satellite platform, the HX System, for smaller networks that provides high-quality service and employs the most efficient implementation of the DVB-S2 industry standard with adaptive coding and modulation.
The HX System also complies with IP-over-satellite standards approved by TIA for the global satellite industry in North America, as well as ETSI and ITU in Europe.
The HX System utilizes advanced bandwidth management techniques, enabling operators to provide their customers with a high-quality service while maximizing satellite efficiency.
Optimized for smaller networks, the HX design builds upon the foundation of Hughes broadband satellite technology, with more than 900,000 terminals shipped worldwide. The system supports high uplink channel rates of up to 3.2 megabits per second, enabling operators to provide bandwidth intensive applications such as:
– cellular backhaul;
– maritime;
– upstream oil and gas exploration, and
