approved for commercial availability on the OneWeb LEO
Network
GERMANTOWN, Md., April 2,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems,
LLC (HUGHES), an EchoStar company (Nasdaq: SATS), today
announced the commercial availability of the Hughes HL1120W
Terminal. This electronically steerable antenna-based (ESA)
terminal has received Eutelsat OneWeb approval for operation in its
low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network and this milestone enables
Hughes to bring Eutelsat OneWeb's enterprise-grade, low-latency,
high-speed connectivity to customers across the globe. As an early
pioneer in LEO technologies, Hughes developed the gateway and core
modem module for all OneWeb terminals and is continuing its
engineering leadership with this groundbreaking, flat panel ESA.
"Using our decades of experience with low Earth orbit systems
and our detailed understanding of the Eutelsat OneWeb system, we
are delivering a high-performance connectivity solution that brings
reliable, enterprise-grade LEO connectivity to remote locations,"
said Dan Rasmussen, senior vice
president and general manager, North America Enterprise Division,
Hughes. "Our Managed LEO service currently supports customers
in the military, government agencies and public safety communities
as well as retailers and energy companies. This technology is a
game changer, and we are proud to be working closely with Eutelsat
OneWeb to bring our solution to the broader market."
Juan Pablo Cofino, regional vice
president Americas, Eutelsat OneWeb, said "We are delighted to add
the HL1120W to our product portfolio and this terminal is well
poised to meet a range of enterprise and government uses. Hughes is
a longstanding technology and distribution partner of ours and the
addition of this terminal will help us extend connectivity services
even faster and further for Hughes and also for our partners around
the world. We look forward to seeing this terminal switched on in
communities, businesses and for governments everywhere."
The HL1120W is designed for the outdoor environment. It is
lightweight, low-power, weather-tight and easy to install and
maintain. It is constructed with a durable aluminum chassis and is
configured to function right out of the box with self-pointing to
the Eutelsat OneWeb satellite constellation. The HL1120W includes
an indoor unit, which provides a Wi-Fi 6 router and 2 GigE LAN
ports. The terminal is manufactured by Hughes in its factory in
Maryland, USA.
For low-latency applications and service in hard-to-reach
places, the Hughes Managed LEO service provides a reliable,
high-speed option. As a OneWeb distributor, Hughes can deploy LEO
capacity as a managed broadband service, a multi-orbit mobility or
enterprise solution, or part of a multi-transport Software-Defined
Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) or highly specialized military
network.
