Hughes Delivers Next-Gen Satellite Broadband Routers To Asia/Pacific Region

Hughes Network Systems announced last Tuesday that it has begun shipping the DW7000 family of next-generation broadband satellite routers to customers in the Asia/Pacific Region.

This high-performance product line is designed to unlock the true value and performance of satellite broadband by offering increased flexibility and greater speeds on both up and downstream transmissions.

"The DW7000 family of high-performance routers is the most recent example of HNS' commitment to continuous innovation and takes satellite broadband to the next level," said Ramesh Ramaswamy, Managing Director for the Asia/Pacific Region at HNS.

"Not only does it operate in multiple bands; C, extended C, Ku and Ka, making it ideal for the Asia/Pacific market, as the industry's most powerful enterprise router and speeds up to six times faster than previous generations, its capabilities are truly unprecedented.

"As our service provider and end-user customers in the Asia/Pacific region begin adopting the DW7000 family, they will experience this performance advantage and unlock the true value of satellite broadband."

The DW7000 product family, which initially consists of two offerings, the DW7700 and the DW7000, is highly scalable for various enterprise, government, and rural requirements.

The product line is ideally suited for organizations that require ubiquitous broadband coverage, always-on Internet connections, last-mile rural telephony connectivity, GSM trunking, and support of bandwidth-intensive applications ranging from two-way video to large data files attached to e-mails.

The DW7000 family is compliant with the IpoS standard (IP transmission over satellite), approved by the world's three major standards setting bodies, namely TIA in North America, and ETSI and the ITU in Europe.

It also complies with the DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards for the downlink, which yields downstream rates as high as 90Mbps.

As a result, it gives service providers in the region a great deal of flexibility to readily configure service plans covering a wide range of upstream-downstream data rates.
