HughesNet HN9000 Satellite Internet Modem

The HughesNet HN9000 is the next-generation of satellite technology from HUGHES™ refined and optimized to be the most bandwidth-efficient modem that HUGHES has ever produced!!!

Hughes is constantly striving to improve the delivery of high-speed Internet access through the development of more advanced technology. Building on its advanced HN satellite platform, Hughes released its next-generation broadband satellite modem, the HN9000, in March 2008. New HughesNet customers may receive either the HN7000S or HN9000 satellite modem, depending on their location, the service plan selected, and the satellite assigned to provide their service. Either way, all new HughesNet customers will enjoy the same high-speed Internet access.

HughesNet, the world's leading provider of broadband satellite network solutions and services, today announced the introduction of its next-generation platform, the HN System, which will support the most efficient implementation of the DVB-S2 industry standard with ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation). The HN system is also compliant with IPoS (IP over Satellite), the first global satellite industry standard approved by TIA in North America, and ETSI and ITU in Europe

Hughes implementation of DVB-S2 with the ACM feature, as defined in the standard, gives Hughes customers higher system availability and greater throughput for a given antenna size. The HN system optimizes link performance, even in networks with geographically diverse locations and in high rain areas, by adjusting error-correcting codes and modulation dynamically based on signal quality feedback from HN remote terminals. The greatly improved Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) error correcting codes, combined with the adaptability features, make the Hughes solution the most efficient DVB-S2 platform on the market today.

The HN platform can be easily configured to support a wide range of data rates, giving international service providers a great deal of flexibility in designing their service plans. Key features of the Hughes DVB-S2 standard implementation include QPSK and 8PSK modulations for higher throughputs; efficient LDPC coding; and ACM for improved availability and power conservation.
