WASHINGTON, March 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SATELLITE
2018, Booth 501—Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes), the
global leader in broadband satellite solutions and services, today
announced enhancements to its JUPITER™ System across the full
spectrum of offerings, including doubling the throughput of HT2xxx
terminals to over 200 Mbps, expanded and enhanced support for
maritime applications and a Rapid In-route Parsing and
Prioritization Scheme for fast HTTPS browsing. The new enhancements
also include a significant throughput speed increase for the
JUPITER Aero System, which supports over 600 Mbps to each
aircraft.
These enhancements further raise the performance and operational
advantages of the JUPITER System, the world's most widely deployed
High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) platform which is currently
deployed on over 20 satellites across the world and powering a wide
range of enterprise and consumer services by leading providers. The
new in-route access scheme delivers substantial optimization for
transactional messages which results in significantly faster
browsing of encrypted web pages, as well as higher efficiency for
applications such as automated teller, lottery or point of sale.
The JUPITER System mobility feature set is now expanded to support
maritime applications in addition to the previously announced
aeronautical broadband capabilities. Additional features also
include high-speed DVB-S2X return channels.
"These enhancements of our flagship JUPITER System further raise
the bar in setting the industry standard for satellite broadband
networks," said Dave Rehbehn, vice
president of international sales and marketing, Hughes. "They
validate our ongoing commitment to an ever-growing family of valued
operator customers, ensuring that their investment in Hughes
technology will gain them a competitive advantage in their markets
today and for years to come."
As part of the Hughes mission to bridge the digital divide,
these developments offer more capabilities to new markets across
the globe. They build on the award-winning feature set of the
JUPITER System, addressing the entire spectrum of community,
enterprise, backhaul, aero and maritime capabilities.
Launched in 2012, the JUPITER System continues to be the
platform of the future today, and on which Hughes will continue to
deliver innovations for current and future HTS satellites,
including the previously announced EchoStar XXIV/JUPITER 3
ultra-high density satellite, slated to be launched in 2021.
