Hughes First in Industry to Implement Adaptive Coding and Modulation Feature
May 9, 2006 — Germantown, Md., USA — Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the world's leading provider of broadband satellite network solutions and services, today announced the introduction of its next-generation platform, the HN System, which will support the most efficient implementation of the DVB-S2 industry standard with ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation). The HN system is also compliant with IPoS (IP over Satellite), the first global satellite industry standard approved by TIA in North America, and ETSI and ITU in Europe.
Hughes' implementation of DVB-S2 with the ACM feature, as defined in the standard, gives Hughes customers higher system availability and greater throughput for a given antenna size. The HN system optimizes link performance, even in networks with geographically diverse locations and in high rain areas, by adjusting error-correcting codes and modulation dynamically based on signal quality feedback from HN remote terminals. The greatly improved Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) error correcting codes, combined with the adaptability features, make the Hughes solution the most efficient DVB-S2 platform on the market today.
"The HN System with DVB-S2 will take satellite broadband performance to the next level," said Pradman Kaul, Hughes Chairman and CEO. "Along with higher speeds and improved bandwidth, our newest system solution will also provide significantly improved operational efficiency. This truly will unlock the full power of DVB-S2 for system operators and for their customers."
The new HN7000S remote platform consists of the HN7700S for high-end enterprise and government applications, the HN7000S for less demanding business requirements, and the HN7740S for integrated VoIP and broadband services. These remote terminals will support both DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards, providing operators an easy transition to DVB-S2. The DVB-S2 NOC (Network Operations Center) configurations include the HN NOCLX, a full-size NOC, and the cost-effective and scalable HN NOCCX for small initial network requirements. The NOCs support both DVB-S2 and DVB-S remote terminals.
The HN platform can be easily configured to support a wide range of data rates, giving international service providers a great deal of flexibility in designing their service plans. Key features of the Hughes DVB-S2 standard implementation include QPSK and 8PSK modulations for higher throughputs; efficient LDPC coding; and ACM for improved availability and power conservation.
Shipment of the DVB-S2 compliant product line to international service providers will begin by late Q2 2006.
HughesNetTM solutions and services based on DVB-S2 will be announced as they are rolled out at Hughes-owned and operated facilities in the US, Europe, Brazil, and India.
