Hughes Network Systems, reports that its JUPITER System has been selected by Global-IP Cayman as the technology platform to enable its mission of bringing high-performance connectivity to mobile devices used throughout the Sub-Saharan Africa region. The JUPITER System will be used to provision 100 percent of the capacity on Global-IP's GiSat-1 150 Gbps high-throughput satellite (HTS).

Hughes will supply 11 gateway stations in Europe using a centralized architecture for routing traffic in and out of the Internet, as well as its powerful HT2500 and HT2600 terminals, including Wi-Fi access.

The JUPITER System is the first VSAT (very small aperture terminal) platform to support the DVB-S2X standard, widely recognized as the most bandwidth-efficient in the marketplace, yielding strong operating economics for Global-IP.

"The JUPITER System from Hughes provides us with a bandwidth-efficient technology that is field proven in Ka-band and adaptable to our unique architecture to support Global-IP's mission of bringing connectivity to over 800 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa," said Emil Youssefzadeh, founder and chief technology officer of Global-IP.

"Our state-of-the-art GiSat-1 satellite designed with a digital payload uniquely matching our CloudCORE platform, coupled with the JUPITER System, will enable our customers to provide smart phone users with affordable services, from broadband Internet, to video, and more."

Beyond supporting high-quality Internet access, the HT2500 and HT2600 terminals are designed with LTE acceleration technology to meet the demanding requirements of mobile network operators, and making it economical for data delivery anywhere.

"Hughes is proud to have been selected as Global-IP's technology partner in its important mission of bringing broadband connectivity to Sub-Saharan Africa," said Ramesh Ramaswamy, senior vice president and general manager of Hughes International Division.

"The fact that our JUPITER System will provision 100 percent of GiSat-1's satellite capacity from day one is a testament to their confidence in Hughes and further builds on our leadership in powering HTS deployments around the world."

The JUPITER System is the world's most widely deployed platform by HTS operators, featuring a flexible and robust gateway architecture with lights-out operation, enhanced IPoS air interface for bandwidth efficiency and performance, and high-throughput terminals.

JUPITER enables operators to achieve the highest possible capacity and efficiency for any satellite broadband implementation. The foundational technology is the powerful JUPITER SOC, a custom-designed VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) processor employing a multi-core architecture and enabling 200 Mbps of throughput on every terminal in the JUPITER family.
