Hughes ground system to enable 100 Gbps on the
Nusantara Lima satellite to help bridge the digital divide
GERMANTOWN, Md., April 12,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC
(HUGHES), an innovator in satellite and multi-transport
technologies and networks for 50 years, today announced that PT
Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN), the oldest private
telecommunication and information service provider in Indonesia, selected the Hughes JUPITER™ System
to enable services on the Nusantara Lima very high-throughput
satellite. Eleven JUPITER gateways will power 100 Gbps of capacity
across Indonesia and nearby
countries to bring internet access to people living outside the
reach of terrestrial broadband.
This award follows PSN's earlier selection of the JUPITER System
for the Satellite of the Republic of Indonesia (SATRIA), currently under
construction, and the Nusantara Satu satellite (formerly known as
PSN VI), now in service.
"With integrity and reliability, Hughes has been an essential
technology partner to PSN for many years, helping us turn our
ambitions for connectivity in Indonesia into reality," said Adi Rahman
Adiwoso, Chief Executive Officer at PSN. "We have put the JUPITER
System to the test on several satellites, transforming satellite
signals into efficient and cost-effective solutions that change
people's lives, and we will do so again with the Nusantara
Lima."
"Strong partnerships, like ours with PSN, are the backbone of
our industry, and we genuinely appreciate the opportunity to earn
their business and their ongoing trust," said Ramesh Ramaswamy, senior vice president and
general manager, International Division, Hughes. "It is a privilege
to support PSN in their ongoing mission to connect the unconnected
in Indonesia."
In addition to choosing the Hughes technology as the ground
platform for several satellites, PSN employs JUPITER equipment to
light up Community Wi-Fi hotspots across Indonesia. The JUPITER System is the
next-generation Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) platform from
Hughes, in use at more than half of all VSAT implementations
worldwide. Widely considered the de facto industry standard,
the JUPITER System enables software-defined satellite networking
and virtualized, cloud-enabled network management for the highest
possible performance and cost efficiencies.
