HUGHES HX50
Broadband Satellite Router
High-performance satellite router
The HX50 is a high-performance satellite router designed to support
high-bandwidth links with Quality of Service (QoS) features such
as Min CIR with Max Rate together with dynamic allocation of
bandwidth. With integrated IP features including NAT/NAPT, DHCP,
RIPV1, RIPV2, BGP, and DNS server/relay functionality, together
with TCP acceleration and a high-performance satellite modem,
the HX50 is the ideal platform to enable high-performance IP
connectivity for a variety of applications including cellular backhaul,
MPLS extension services, virtual leased-line services, and other
high-bandwidth solutions.
Target Markets
QQ SCPC/MCPC replacement links
QQ GSM pico/mini cell
QQ MPLS extension services
QQ Embassy and government networks
QQ Private leased-line services
HX System Architecture
The HX System provides star TDM/MF-TDMA connectivity consisting
of a central gateway connecting to multiple HX remote terminals.
With a DVB-S/DVB-S2 outbound carrier and multiple inbound
carriers supporting rates up to 3.2 Mbps, the HX System provides
the high throughput needed for high QoS networking.
Efficiency and flexibility in utilizing satellite bandwidth are the
core of its design. Each link can be configured to provide a QoS
tailored for the individual remote terminal. Each remote link can be
independently configured with Minimum CIRs and Maximum Rates,
thereby allowing a service provider to develop a service tailored to its
customers’ specific requirements.
The advanced Hughes adaptive coding and modulation (ACM)
algorithm optimizes the outbound carrier for each satellite router.
On the MF/TDMA return carriers, the HX System uses adaptive
TDMA coding to enable remotes to dynamically select the optimal
coding rate without the need for inroute switching. In addition,
the bandwidth allocation of the HX System is designed so that idle
remotes consume no network capacity—a feature enabled by the HX
“Aloha” signalling channel for initial traffic requests.
The HX System from Hughes, the world leader in broadband satellite networks and services, is designed and optimized for smaller and
mobile networks, including maritime and airborne applications, where the provision of high-quality and high-bandwidth links is paramount.
Capable of simultaneous mesh, star, and multi-star configurations, the HX System builds upon the capabilities and global success of the highperformance HN System, incorporating many advance features pioneered by Hughes, including integrated TCP acceleration IPoS/DVB-S2,
RSM-A, and GMR-1. To date, Hughes has shipped more than 2.2 million satellite terminals to customers in over 100 countries.
