to
JUPITER
System
March

2015
Hughes
Network
Systems,
LLC
announced
a
major
software
upgrade
that
adds
significant
capabilities
to
its
industry-leading
JUPITER
System,
the
world’s
most
widely
deployed
high-throughput
satellite
(HTS)
networking
solution.
These
new
capabilities
extend
the
range
of
applications
that
operators
can
offer
customers
and
maximize
the
economic
potential
of
HTS
satellite
capacity.
Available
immediately,
the
new
System
6.0
release
includes
enterprise
features
that
expand
addressable
market
opportunities
for
operators,
such
as
enhanced
routing,
satellite
backhaul
for
3G/4G
LTE
cellular
networks,
and
dynamic
satellite
backup
for
terrestrial
services.
In
addition,
enhanced
mobility
features
enable
effective
integration
of
the
JUPITER
System
with
transportable
antenna
terminals
for
services
such
as
satellite
news
gathering
and
mobile
banking,
which
have
already
been
successfully
implemented
with
several
customers.
“The
new
enterprise
features
enabled
by
the
JUPITER
System
6.0
have
opened
up a
number
of
new
markets
for
our
services,”
said
Gustavo
Arditti,
Director
Negocio
Satelital
AMEP
Telefonica
Global
Solutions
-
Media
Networks.
“They
pave
the
way
for
our
partners
to
engage
with
various
enterprise
opportunities,
including
the
small-to-medium
enterprise
market
segment.”
JUPITER
System
6.0
also
includes
complete
Virtual
Network
Operator
(VNO)
capabilities
that
maximize
HTS
capacity
by
allowing
operators
to
allocate
bandwidth,
set
up
and
manage
multiple
VNOs.
Each
VNO
can
create
and
manage
its
own
independent
set
of
service
plans
and
subscriber
base.
“In
addition
to
enhancing
the
feature
set
of
the
JUPITER
System
we
also
have
increased
its
performance,”
said
Dave
Rehbehn,
vice
president,
International
marketing,
Hughes.
“The
JUPITER
System
6.0
increases
the
return
channel
rate,
enabling
service
providers
to
provide
higher
value
services
for
the
applications
that
demand
very
high
speed
return
channels,
such
as
satellite
news
gathering.”
