Hughes Network Systems Introduces New Broadband Satellite Platform Designed for Smaller Networks
Compact DW NOC(CX) Ideal Solution for Start-up Networks
GERMANTOWN, Md., Nov. 14 / -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HNS) today announced the introduction of its new, scalable broadband satellite platform, the DW NOC(CX). The DW NOC(CX) is the ideal Network Operations Center (NOC) solution for service providers and enterprises with small initial network requirements, yet incorporating all the features and functionality of a large system NOC in a cost-effective and scalable package.
The DW NOC(CX) is based on the same architecture as HNS' widely deployed larger system, the DW NOC(LX), only optimized for smaller networks. Incorporating numerous advanced features and industry leading acceleration and compression technologies, the compact DW NOC(CX) can be readily expanded as traffic growth justifies, enabling rapid provisioning of the full suite of DIRECWAY services from a single comprehensive platform.
"HNS has experienced an increasing demand worldwide for broadband services from all market segments, including many start-up service providers and small- to medium-sized enterprises," said David Jupin, vice president of international product marketing at HNS. "Our DW NOC(CX) is designed specifically to satisfy this demand for an ideal, entry-level solution that is scalable, yet without compromising on features and functionality."
The DW NOC(CX) is housed in a compact, single-rack configuration. With the addition of an expansion rack, it can be readily scaled to manage larger networks while supporting the entire suite of DIRECWAY® services. Efficiency and flexibility in utilizing satellite bandwidth are at the core of the DW NOC design. For example, its guaranteed inroute bandwidth and fair access features enable service providers to efficiently provision multiple grades of service on the same platform. The DW NOC(CX) supports outbound data rates up to 48 Mbps and aggregate inbound data rates up to 26 Mbps.
The DW satellite broadband infrastructure is the most advanced and widely deployed system worldwide. Well over 100 enterprises and service providers rely on DW NOCs to manage their broadband satellite operations.
