This high performance product line is designed to unlock the value and performance of satellite broadband by offering higher speeds on both up and downstream connections.

"The DW7000 family will take satellite broadband performance to the next level," said HNS Chairman and CEO Pradman Kaul.

"With the industry's most powerful enterprise router and speeds up to six times faster than previous generations, its capabilities are truly unprecedented.

"As enterprises and consumers alike begin adopting the DW7000 family, they will not only see the better performance, but the true value of satellite broadband."

The DW7000 family initially consists of two offerings: the DW7700 for high-end enterprise and government applications; and the DW7000 for lower end business requirements.

The product line is ideally suited for organizations that require ubiquitous broadband coverage and always-on Internet connections, and that use bandwidth-intensive applications ranging from two-way video to large data files attached to e-mails.

The DW7700 is the first product in this new family to be launched.

Recognizing the worldwide demand by enterprises for ever increasing amounts of bandwidth and the ability to support many simultaneous users, the DW7700 has been designed to provide unsurpassed performance for even the most bandwidth- intensive applications.

The DW7700 supports two simultaneous LAN subnets, providing the flexibility to handle new enterprise IP networking requirements.

In addition, the DW7700 supports integrated serial connectivity, thus providing the ideal solution for bridging legacy applications into an IP environment.

The DW7700 uses the industry standards, DVB-S and DVB-S2.

As a result, the DW7700 can be easily configured to support a wide range of downstream data rates, giving international service providers a great deal of flexibility in designing their service plans.

Another key benefit of the DW7700 is the ability to scale the platform as the need for higher speed applications grows, protecting the user's investment well into the future.

The DW7700 also coexists with all previous generations of DIRECWAY systems ensuring existing customers' investments are protected.

Kaul continued, "The DW7000 product family is the most recent example of HNS' commitment to continuous innovation. As the leader in broadband satellite solutions, it is important to listen to customers and help them to unlock the value of broadband. The DW7000 product family does just that."

Standardized DW7700 enterprise service plans for the North American market are being announced separately.

The DW7700 will begin shipping in June 2005 and will be sold through all existing channels, including direct sales, value-added resellers (VARs) and service providers.
