Hughes
recently announced that it will be upgrading its HN/HX systems with
the TurboPage with ActiveCompression feature. The upgrade will
greatly increase bandwidth efficiency and provide support for the
newest generation of IPv6 Internet addressing.
HN/HX
systems possess numerous IP features and functionality that make them
perfect for satellite routing where full IP functionality and
performance is needed. The Hughes-designed systems provide advanced
bandwidth management capabilities that allow operators to customize
various Quality of Service (QoS) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
on a per-remote basis. Being pure IP-based solutions, they also
incorporate a strong set of IP functions and features.
Hughes
TurboPage with ActiveCompression can boost compression gain of
transmitted HTTP traffic by up to 50 percent. It compresses both text
and image data to decrease the volume of data transmitted through
satellites. This improves bandwidth efficiency and performance across
the entire network.
Hughes
ActiveCompression also protects the original quality of both text and
images during and after compression.
According
to Adrian Morris, Executive Vice President of Engineering at Hughes,
the HN/HX systems' new features future-proofs the networks of Hughes
customers. "The Internet's growth creates an almost endless
demand for new bandwidth,” he said, and added that same growth is causing
the Internet to outstrip its own protocols.
“By
providing network operators with higher compression rates for more
efficient bandwidth use and dual-stack support to ease the transition
to IPv6,” said EVP Morris, “we've given them the tools to ride
out the Internet's growing pains without disrupting service to their
customers.”
One
such customer was Vodacom Group, Ltd., which needed to improve its
converged service offerings in throughout Africa. Last year, Vodacom
selected Hughes' HN and HX satellite broadband solutions to improve
network speeds and bandwidth efficiency.
