New smart power distribution unit from Hughes
complements the company's robust managed services and digital
signage portfolio
GERMANTOWN, Md., Jan. 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hughes Network
Systems, LLC, an EchoStar company (Nasdaq: SATS), announced it will
debut the Hughes Active Power Edge and showcase its suite of
managed services at Retail's Big Show 2023, hosted by the National
Retail Federation (NRF). The first-of-its-kind power distribution
unit (PDU) designed for managed services, the Active Power Edge
(model number HS54) represents the latest Hughes innovation to make
networks smarter, more reliable and higher performing for
enterprise customers.
"By correlating data points like power usage, power conditioning
and network performance, the Hughes Active Power Edge enables us to
be even more proactive in ensuring reliable business operations for
our customers," said Dan Rasmussen,
senior vice president, enterprise division, Hughes. "Integrating
seamlessly into the HughesON™ suite of managed network services,
the proprietary Active Power Edge PDU detects and addresses outages
autonomously to mitigate network impact with optimal management,
reliability, scalability and, ultimately, peace of mind."
When deployed across a Hughes Software-Defined Wide Area Network
(SD-WAN) or managed broadband deployment, the Hughes Active Power
Edge monitors power and connection status at each endpoint and
leverages artificial intelligence to reset outlets and power cycle
connected devices as needed. Scalable from a few to thousands of
receptacles, the Active Power Edge delivers insights to the
HughesON Portal, the single pane-of-glass management viewport for
Hughes enterprise customers.
"We know from our own customer help desk that a device reset is
all it takes to resolve the issue in about a third of the calls,"
continued Rasmussen. "The Active Power Edge automatically completes
that crucial step to maintain network uptime seamlessly, saving
customers time and costly downtime."
A global leader in managed SD-WAN, Hughes has more than 52,000
SD-WAN locations under management and supports 50% of the NRF top
25 retailers with managed network solutions.
At NRF, visitors to the Hughes booth (#3550) can see the Active
Power Edge for themselves and learn how the company's portfolio of
end-to-end managed services – including SD-WAN, broadband,
cybersecurity, Wi-Fi and VoIP solutions – supports retailers on
their digital transformations. Visitors can also experience the
latest Hughes MediaSignage, the company's cloud-based digital
signage and content management solutions, including menu boards and
promo boards. On display at NRF, Hughes BreakRoom TV supplies live
or on-demand TV programming, wrapped with real-time information
feeds on the same HD screen.
