Equipment: DW7700 Terminal |
|
This Agristar Global Networks
plans utilize Hughes Network Systems new, state-of-the-art DW7700
system. The DW7700 system is a cost-effective satellite terminal
providing high-speed broadband access to rural markets. The
DW7700 can supply broadband communications to anywhere in the
world and provide highly efficient, two-way satellite services
for homes, businesses and large enterprises of any size.
The DW7700 is a self-hosted and self-booting standalone terminal.
The system complies with the industry’s DVB-S standard
and, therefore, it is very easy to customize the wide range
of out route data rates by choosing different symbol and FEC
coding rates. The downstream is scalable up to 48 Mbps and up
to 256 kbps for the return channel. The DW7700 provides an integrated
broadband LAN solution to Windows and MAC platforms running
IP over Ethernet. The DW7700 terminal passes IP data packets
to and from any IP device on the LAN and has the functionality
of a typical IP router. The DW7700 offers Hughes Network Systems’
Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) feature, which increases throughput
performance and maximizes the user’s experience and satisfaction.
The DW7700 terminal is designed to support content delivery,
multicasting, music distribution, distance learning and training,
digital media streaming, file transfer, Internet and VPN/intranet
access.
