HN9600 Ka-band high-performance broadband satellite router with single IFL cable

The Hughes HN9600 is a high-performance, Ka-band broadband satellite router designed to cost-effectively satisfy a wide range of connectivity requirements for consumer, small office/home office, enterprise, and government markets. The HN9600 incorporates advanced modulation and coding among other performance and efficiency-enhancing features to deliver even the most demanding bandwidth-intensive applications affordably.

Compliant with IPoS/DVB-S2 including Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), the world’s leading industry standard, the HN9600 supports forward channel data rates up to 121 Mbps. The inbound or return channel is configurable up to 3.2 Mbps, and features adaptive MF/TDMA coding which results in superior return channel efficiency. The HN9600 features a single intra-facility link (IFL) interface to the outdoor unit.

To enable superior end-user performance, the HN9600 includes a full set of integrated Wide Area Network (WAN) optimisation features. Accelerated TCP and HTTP performance, including HTTP pre-fetch (objects are locally cached on the HN9600) along with DNS caching, enable fast Web browsing. Integrated header and packet payload compression both conserves bandwidth and further contributes to high performance. IP routing and addressing features implemented in the HN9600 include the RIPV2 and BGP routing protocols, virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) with policy-based routing, DHCP server or relay, as well as network address translation (NAT) and port address translation (PAT). The HN9600 also handles end- to-end VLAN tags complying with the 802.1P and Q standards, and each VLAN may be configured with its own Quality of Service (QoS). Government and enterprise users can be confident that the information running over the HN9600 is secure, as the HN9600 uses a hardware-based conditional access system and, optionally, AES 256 encryption for user traffic.

Operations are made easy as the HN9600 features an integrated Web server supporting a Web browser interface for commissioning and troubleshooting. Full-featured, built-in diagnostics provide historical information about network performance or error conditions. An integrated LAN sniffer eliminates the need for on-site presence during troubleshooting. The HN9600 is centrally managed for software configurations and downloads.
