"Hughes is proud to be chosen to further expand Indonesian banking networks with our advanced HX platform," said Robert Feierbach, vice president of International sales and marketing at Hughes. "The HX was designed specifically for networks requiring a high QoS (Quality of Service) requirement that banks demand, and employs unmatched bandwidth management capabilities so that both service providers and their end users realize the most cost-effective solution available in the marketplace."
The Hughes HX System employs the most cost-efficient implementation of the global IPoS/DVB-S2 satellite industry standard, including Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), the world's first to be approved by ETSI, TIA and ITU. Utilizing a spectrum of novel bandwidth management techniques, the HX enables operators to provide their customers with high quality services while maximizing satellite efficiency and lowering operational cost.
Instead of dedicating bandwidth to specific users, the HX System allocates satellite bandwidth as a "virtual pool," providing an "IP cloud in the sky." If a customer or group of terminals is not fully utilizing their allocated bandwidth, the HX System reallocates this bandwidth to other users, while assuring that bandwidth will be available when needed.
