Delivering outstanding application performance over satellite
HUGHES®’ comprehensive package of acceleration and compression technologies is embedded in every HN satellite router. The result is dramatically improved throughput and response time through mitigation of satellite delay, meaning customers experience wireline or better performance of broadband IP applications.
For well over a decade, Hughes has led the industry with innovative acceleration and compression technologies and has been awarded several patents. These technologies enable Hughes to offer comprehensive broadband networking solutions that stand apart from those of other telecom providers—whether satellite or terrestrial.
Every HN satellite router incorporates the following features:
- TCP acceleration
- HTTP acceleration
- Header compression
- Payload compression
- DNS caching
HN satellite routers utilize Hughes’ patented Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) to optimize the performance of many widely used Internet protocols. PEP improves performance of TCP by transparently converting it into a satellite-friendly protocol upon entering the satellite network and restoring it to TCP prior to leaving the network.
In addition to TCP acceleration, embedded in every HN satellite router is Hughes’ third-generation HTTP acceleration technology. PEP significantly improves Web browsing performance over satellite by anticipating and fetching a Web page's embedded objects before a browser requests them.
Working in tandem with HNS’ acceleration technology are Hughes’ advanced data and header compression algorithms and DNS caching techniques, which result in more efficient bandwidth utilization and a superior user experience.
Hughes’ robust acceleration, compression, and caching techniques work in concert to provide exceptional performance for customer applications.
