[Satellite TODAY 03-04-13] Advantech Wireless has announced the release of its most powerful Next Generation Satellite Communications product, the New Millennium Series VSAT Hub for HTS.
Building upon Advantech Wireless’ Discovery Series of DVB-RCS Hubs, a single rack of the Millennium Series can be configured to support upwards of 20,000 remote terminals and 775 Mbps of traffic to the remotes, spread across up to 5 different transponder/satellites and 480 TDMA carriers. This single rack can also receive up to 240 Mbps of IP traffic generated by the remote terminal population.
“A powerful feature of the Millennium Hub is its redundancy capability. On the Forward Link, the standard design incorporates a 1:5 scheme, whereby one Forward Link chain operates in a Hot Standby mode, ready to automatically takeover in the event of a malfunction of any of the 5 active Forward Link systems” John Landovskis, PLM director at Advantech Wireless, said on a statement. “Similarly, for the Return Link, the standard design provides for a 1:n redundancy scheme”.
The New Millennium Hub is designed to operate with all fixed satellite frequency bands (C, X, Ku, Ka-Band) and will support all of Advantech Wireless family of Satellite Interactive Terminals (SITs).
