[Satellite TODAY 7-3-13] Hughes Network Systems conducted a seminar last week in Mexico where more than 100 senior-level satellite industry executives including operators, service providers and government officials discussed the industry’s latest technological developments. During the event, Hughes service provider customers Enlaces Integra, Pegaso Banda Ancha and SSL Digital shared their experiences, case studies and market offerings enabled by the company’s HN and HX System product families.

 

      In addition, Hughes introduced its latest generation of Jupiter Ka-band innovations. Two new Ka-band satellite routers were showcased – the HN9600 and HN9800 – which incorporate the same Jupiter technology that is the cornerstone of HughesNet Gen4 in the U.S., offering speeds up to 15 Mbps and now with approximately 700,000 subscribers. To date in Mexico, Hughes has shipped more than 42,000 satellite terminals.

 

     The company also presented its roadmap of future developments, including its recently announced plan to launch Jupiter 2/EchoStar 19 in mid-2016, with more than 150 Gbps of capacity to further power growth of HughesNet satellite Internet service in North America.
