-HT1300 Leverages JUPITER System Power and Efficiency over

-Conventional C- and Ku-Band Satellite Capacity

SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global
leader in broadband satellite solutions and services, announced the
availability of the HT1300, its new
high-throughput router for the JUPITER™ System,
designed to operate over conventional C-band and Ku-band, as well
as Ka-band satellite capacity. The HT1300 enables satellite
operators around the world to leverage the power and efficiency of
the JUPITER System over conventional satellite capacity while
positioning them for seamless migration to future high-throughput
(HTS) satellites.

Capable of 100 Mbps throughput, the newest member of the
award-winning JUPITER System is the ideal router as the backbone
for a high-security corporate network. It boasts high availability
and the flexibility via an industry standard L-band interface to
operate with a variety of outdoor units -- including
high-power amplifiers. As a result, operators may not need to
replace existing outdoor electronics when upgrading to HT1300
routers and the JUPITER System.

"We
developed the HT1300 specifically to meet the growing demand from
enterprise customers for high-performance networks,"
said Ramesh Ramaswamy, Hughes vice president, international
sales and marketing. "As an integral part of our JUPITER System, it
paves the way for operators to rapidly implement a technology
upgrade over conventional C-band and Ku-band satellites in order to
deliver even the most demanding enterprise applications in a wide
range of markets -- while
enabling easy transition to high-throughput Ka-band satellites in
the future."

With
advanced bandwidth management techniques and a full set of IP and
enterprise features, the JUPITER System is designed to enable
operators to deliver a wide range of services and meet even the
most stringent QoS demands. The integrated high-performance traffic
classifier of the JUPITER System is able to dynamically classify
delay-sensitive, real-time applications like voice or video, in
order to deliver the necessary performance demanded by enterprise
users. Hardware- based, bi-directional encryption ensures security
without compromising performance.

Easy
to use and cost-efficient to operate, the HT1300 is fully managed
from a central location, such as a corporate IT help desk,
providing continuous status monitoring and diagnostics that are
integral to JUPITER's embedded web GUI, supporting rapid
installation and remote site troubleshooting.

Hughes
representatives will be available to answer questions about the
JUPITER System and the HT1300 at the CommunicAsia 2015 Technology
Exhibition and Conference, June 2-5, at their hospitality suite, Hibiscus 3601B,
Level 3 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center
in Singapore. To register to attend a workshop or to request
