Satellite broadband IP hub system featuring integrated multi-transponder, multi-satellite capability

Designed and optimized for high-quality, IP broadband networking, as well as specialized applications such as mobility and mesh networking, the HX Multi-satellite Gateway is the core component within the HX System. Utilizing a DVB-S2 carrier with Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) for the forward channel and highly efficient FDMA/TDMA for the return/mesh channels, the HX Gateway is the foundation for a range of powerful satellite broadband services.

Efficiency and flexibility in utilizing satellite bandwidth are key considerations in the design of the HX System. Each link in star or mesh mode can be configured to provide a Quality of Service (QoS) tailored to an individual remote terminal. And each network node can be independently configured with unique Committed Information Rates (CIRs), thereby allowing a service provider to develop a service tailored to their customers’ specific requirements. In addition, the HX System bandwidth allocation scheme is designed so that idle terminals can be configured to release all bandwidth assignments, thus ensuring optimal bandwidth utilization.
