Advantech: Discovery satellite hubs achieve 155 Mbps forward link performance

Last week, Advantech Wireless reported that its new generation of Discovery satellite Internet hubs and terminals broke previous performance records by achieving a 155 Mbps forward link throughput performance.

The Discovery Series leverages A-SAT technology, which optimizes satellite bandwidth by switching between SCPC and TDMA modes as needed. This allows a Discovery hub to reach throughput speeds of 155 Mbps on the forward link.

According to CEO David Gelerman of Advantech Wireless, the Company’s next generation satellite hub designs are designed from the get-go to offer optimal performance and reliability. “Our customer set a goal of 155Mbps and in record time, it is realized,” he  said in his statement. “Our team of engineers are the best in the business and have built the best VSAT solution in the market.”

The Discovery Series Hub serves as an excellent starter system for new ISPs. The Advantech satellite hub is a two-way, open standard (DVB-RCS), broadband satellite access system. It includes a fully functional hub with 4 inbound carriers, which can be scaled according to the need for increased capacity through software license.

Previously, Internet Service Provider (ISP) start-ups required hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment. Advantech bucks that trend with its Discovery Series, which sells for under $50,000 and can be easily upgraded for more bandwidth. The affordable Advantech satellite hub easy to establish small and medium private satellite networks, commercial enterprises, or government services that provide or rely upon Internet from satellite connectivity.
