GERMANTOWN, Md., Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite
networks and services, today announced that Indonesian Internet
Service Provider PT. Dwi Tunggal
Putra (DTP) has selected its JUPITER™ System platform to
deploy satellite connectivity across 1,400 rural locations. DTP
joins more than half a dozen other operators that have implemented
the Hughes JUPITER platform across thousands of cellular backhaul
and Internet access sites to support the LC1 and LC2 ("Leased
Capacity") broadband initiatives of BAKTI, a division of the
Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Information. The DTP
implementation includes a JUPITER gateway and terminals powering
service on the KTSAT 7 (KT7) satellite and will bring broadband
across Indonesia and into
Papua, a part of the country that
has lagged in connectivity.
"Thanks to technology and service successes over the past
several years, we have a proven track record in satellite
deployments across Indonesia,"
said Vaibhav Magow, assistant vice president, International
Division at Hughes. "The DTP Ka-band project enhances our portfolio
supporting seven ISPs, five gateways and C-, Ka- and Ku-band
High-Throughput Satellites—a testament to the flexibility of the
JUPITER architecture in enabling high performing and efficient
networks that help connect the unconnected."
Michael Alifen, chief executive
officer of DTP, added: "Hughes with its JUPITER System is the right
choice for us to deliver our KT7 Ka-band capacity. The JUPITER
System delivers an effective solution for us and will help us to be
competitive in the satellite connectivity industry."
Widely used across the industry, the JUPITER System is the de
facto standard for satellite implementations worldwide with
features that yield higher bandwidth efficiency and lower service
cost for operators than other ground systems. The latest JUPITER
technology incorporates Layer 2 functionality to integrate
terrestrial and satellite traffic seamlessly. It supports the
acceleration of 16,000 TCP sessions – an essential feature for
applications with many simultaneous users, such as cellular
backhaul.
