GERMANTOWN, Md., Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband
satellite networks and services, announced today that U.S. Space
and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic ordered over 200 of
the Hughes 9211 Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) satellite
terminals. Placed through Hughes partner Marshall Communications
Corporation, the order outfits SSC Atlantic with the world's
smallest and lightest High Data Rate (HDR) terminal, enabling
mission-critical military communications that are mobile and easy
to deploy.
"For mobile military communications, portability is as essential
as reliable connectivity," said Rick
Lober, vice president and general manager of defense and
intelligence systems at Hughes. "Our Hughes 9211 BGAN comes in a
compact, tablet-sized package, providing warfighters a high-speed
and reliable communications link in an easy-to-use, low-SWaP system
that works in the most demanding situations. We look forward to
working with Marshall Communications Corporation and SSC Atlantic
to supply this world-class terminal for their global
operations."
Filling a vital requirement for the military, the Hughes 9211
BGAN terminal offers high-speed satellite connectivity in a
light-weight and ruggedized device that can deploy quickly and
easily in the harshest environments. Delivering high-throughput
speeds over 650 kbps with built-in, multi-user Wi-Fi access, the
9211 BGAN supports multiple team members simultaneously and
overcomes Line-of-Sight (LoS) limitations.
With low power consumption, the terminal also includes a
built-in compass and audio tone for signal acquisition. To date,
Hughes has delivered these terminals to serve military, media
correspondence, public safety and mobile health care needs.
