Hughes Surpasses Five Million Mark in
Global Satellite Terminals Shipped
September 8, 2015
Hughes Network Systems has surpassed five million
satellite terminals shipped cumulatively to customers in more
than 100 countries, representing close to 50 percent global
market share in the VSAT (very small aperture terminal)
satellite industry.
"This major milestone is a testament to our innovative and
dedicated people," said Pradman Kaul, president of Hughes. "They
are the reason Hughes technology is the preferred choice of
leading satellite network operators around the world to power
delivery of high-quality services, whether for enterprises,
governments or consumers-which started with the invention of the
VSAT and
first commercial satellite network just 30 years ago."
The latest generation technology platform from Hughes is the
JUPITER(tm) System, the cornerstone of HughesNet(r) in North
America-the world's largest satellite Internet service, with
over 1 million subscribers-and now established as the leading
solution of choice by operators around the globe for
high-throughput satellite (HTS) services, including: MNLA (Media
Networks Latin America); RSCC /Ka-Internet (Russia); and Turksat
(Turkey, Europe/Middle East).
Featuring a flexible gateway architecture with lights-out
operation, enhanced IPoS air interface for bandwidth efficiency
and performance, and high-throughput terminals, the
award-winning JUPITER System enables operators to achieve the
highest possible capacity and efficiency for any satellite
broadband implementation, whether on HTS or conventional
satellites. The foundational technology includes the powerful
JUPITER System on a Chip (SoC), a custom-designed VLSI processor
enabling 100 Mbps of throughput on every terminal.
As a result, operators can support the widest range of
applications across all market sectors-from high-speed Internet
access, to distance learning and digital signage, to the most
demanding enterprise solutions requiring strong security and QoS
capabilities. A milestone using the JUPITER System for
conventional satellites was recently achieved by Mexico's Grupo
Pegaso, with
the successful deployment of 5,000 Ku-band terminals for
broadband Internet access for rural schools and universities
across the country.
