The HN9500 is Hughes� high-performance broadband router designed to deliver a wide range of HughesNet services for large enterprises, small-to-medium businesses, and government agencies in North America utilizing the unique high-capacity SPACEWAY 3 satellite system. The HN9500 has selectable data rates to satisfy the most demanding bandwidth requirements�up to 2 Mbps on the uplink and up to 5 Mbps on the downlink. It supports four Classes of Service (CoS) which are available on the SPACEWAY 3 system, including real-time Quality of Service (QoS) features to ensure that applications get the priority and bandwidth they require.
The HN9500 enables an extensive and growing range of broadband applications including: � High-speed Internet/intranet and VPN access � Bandwidth-on-demand video and multimedia services, such as videoconferencing and remote site security monitoring � VoIP voice services � High-performance access continuity � ePayments such as POS/credit and loyalty � Polling, enterprise CRM, and ERP � Corporate training and eLearning.
Operating as an IP router on an enterprise LAN, the HN9500 incorporates several advanced features that increase throughput performance and maximize the user�s experience and satisfaction. The Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) mitigates delay and increases overall throughput over satellite channels, while the unique Hughes TurboPage� feature provides HTTP acceleration for lightning-fast browser performance.
Recognizing the need for nonstop networking, the HN9500 supports a range of high availability configurations. A redundant mode employing a secondary satellite or terrestrial broadband backup is available, as is dial backup functionality utilizing an integrated V.90 modem for virtually 100% uptime.
SPACEWAY� 3 is the world�s first commercial satellite system to employ on-board traffic switching and routing. Developed, owned and operated by Hughes, SPACEWAY 3 operates in the Ka-band and encompasses numerous satellite technology advances, such as on-board fast packet switching, a phased array antenna and dynamic beam forming. With a gross traffic capacity of 10 Gbps, unprecedented in the industry, and incorporating bandwidth-ondemand functionality, SPACEWAY 3 is enabling an ever-expanding range of HughesNet� broadband services over North America to enterprises, consumers/small businesses, and government agencies. These include high-speed Internet access of up to 5 Mbps per site, single-hop, mesh IP networking between sites, and highavailability and QoS solutions among many sites, all utilizing compact and cost-efficient broadband routers and terminals manufactured by Hughes.
�Supports unicast and multicast IP traffic � Enables full-mesh connectivity � Implements dynamic, self-tuning Performance Enhancement Proxy (PEP) software to accelerate the throughput performance by optimizing the TCP transmission over the satellite, delivering superior user experience and link efficiency � Delivers high-performance Web access via TurboPage technology � Supports multiple Classes of Service (CoS) using Diffserv Code Point (DSCP) for applications such as: � Videoconferencing � VoIP voice � Live video streaming � Bidirectional data compression � Link level encryption for secure connectivity � Configuration, status monitoring, and commissioning � User-friendly LED display indicating terminal operational status � Operates as a local router on a corporate LAN providing: � Static and dynamic addressing � DHCP server or relay � DNS caching � Full RIPV2 routing support � Multicasts to the LAN by using IGMP � NAT/PAT � Serial protocols supported (with external Hughes HN1040 Serial Appliance): � SDLC � X.25 � XPAD � Verifone 3200/3300 (Visa).
SPACEWAY 3 is a next-generation satellite system whose unique capabilities enables high-speed data networking, and unlocks a wealth of value-added Hughes services. Operating in globally-assigned Ka-band spectrum, SPACEWAY 3 employs high-performance, onboard digital processing, packet switching, and spot-beam technology to offer direct site-to-site connectivity at rates of from 512 kbps up to 16 Mbps. SPACEWAY 3 combines the traditional advantages of satellite, namely ubiquitous reach and efficient broadcast/multicast, with high data rates and mesh connectivity--to give customers a fast, efficient, flexible, and cost-effective communications solutions.
Through use of advanced multi-spot-beam antenna and onboard data processing technologies, SPACEWAY satellites are at the vanguard of the most advanced next generation high-capacity Ka-band satellites. Such capabilities are the foundation for a host of advanced features such as full-mesh, single-hop connectivity among customer terminals.
SPACEWAY 3 represents the most sophisticated advanced packet transmission infrastructure complete with IP-based user interfaces, satellite terminals, comprehensive network management and service management functionality, all optimized to provide end-to-end broadband access and network connectivity services.
