[Via Satellite 03-10-2016] Hughes Network Systems has announced a major software upgrade that adds significant capabilities to its Jupiter system, its widely deployed High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) networking solution. These new capabilities extend the range of applications that operators can offer customers and maximize the economic potential of HTS satellite capacity.

Available immediately, the new System 6.0 release includes enterprise features that expand addressable market opportunities for operators, such as enhanced routing, satellite backhaul for 3G/4G LTE cellular networks, and dynamic satellite backup for terrestrial services. In addition, enhanced mobility features enable effective integration of the Jupiter system with transportable antenna terminals for services such as satellite news gathering and mobile banking, which have already been successfully implemented with several customers.
