Hughes Network Systems, a player in broadband satellite networks and services, has announced the availability of its latest generation HX broadband satellite routers, the HX260 Mesh and the HX200.

The company claims these routers provide up to twice the throughput performance and build on the advanced DVB-S2/ACM bandwidth management of the HX System.

Both incorporate a high-performance processor and ample onboard memory to deliver carrier grade performance for business private networks, cellular backhaul, and a range of broadband applications, the company added.

The HX260 features an integrated, multichannel TDMA demodulator, enabling simultaneous mesh and star mode connectivity within the HX System. It is reportedly suitable for private networks providing a mix of voice and data services, and can be managed from one central NOC location.

The HX200 supports connection to a variety of radios, including L-Band BUCs, and can be configured to support a range of advanced features offered by the HX System, including mobility support. The HX260 multichannel demodulator enables the unit to operate in full mesh mode with a single satellite hop to connect to another HX260 terminal, the company noted.
