Hughes Network Systems, LLC Release date: July 23, 2007
First Deployment of HX System in Western Europe
GERMANTOWN, Md., July 23 -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the world's leading provider of broadband satellite network solutions and services, today announced that Bentley Walker has purchased an HX System Network Operations Centre (NOC), a compact, cost-effective satellite solution for smaller networks that provides high Quality of Service. The HX platform employs the most efficient implementation of the DVB-S2 industry standard including Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), and is fully compliant with IPoS (IP over Satellite), the first global satellite industry standard approved by TIA in North America, and ETSI and ITU in Europe.
Anthony Walker, CEO of Bentley Walker Ltd, commented, "This is a significant investment on our part and will put us at the front of this industry in Europe and the Middle East. We are pleased to expand our business as a global NOC operator and have selected Hughes for its world-leading combination of features, performance, and cost-effective platform."
This will be the first deployment in Western Europe of the HX System, and Bentley Walker will be developing new services that take advantage of its advanced functionality to add to their portfolio of offerings. Services will start in late July and be provided to customers in the Middle East and Europe from their Turin Skylogic teleport, where the HX NOC will operate over the EUTELSAT W3A satellite.
Optimized for smaller networks, the HX design builds upon a solid and field-proven foundation, leveraging many of the features and functionality of the widely deployed Hughes HN broadband satellite platform. The advanced bandwidth management features of the HX System give operators the ability to efficiently allocate satellite bandwidth as a "virtual pool." If a customer or group of terminals is not fully utilizing their allocated bandwidth, the HX System reallocates this bandwidth to others, while assuring that bandwidth will be available when needed.
"Bentley Walker has been a long-time reseller of our HughesNet(R) services based on the HN platform and we are excited by the strengthening of this important relationship, as well as this being the first sale in Western Europe of the HX System," said Mike Darcy, president of Hughes Europe. "Hughes is the first to make DVB-S2 technology with ACM available in the marketplace, and our aim is to provide ever higher system availability and efficient bandwidth management in all our system products, whether for large or small networks."
