The Hughes HN9000 is a high-performance broadband modem designed to deliver a wide range of Agristar Network broadband services to consumers, small-to-medium businesses, and government agencies in North America, utilizing the unique high-capacity SPACEWAY 3 satellite system.


SPACEWAY® 3 is the most powerful broadband satellite ever launched over North America and the world’s first commercial satellite system to employ on-board traffic switching and routing. The SPACEWAY 3 system operates in the Ka-band and encompasses numerous satellite technology advances, such as on-board fast packet switching, a phased array antenna, and dynamic beam forming. With a gross traffic capacity of 10 Gbps, unprecedented in the industry, and incorporating bandwidth-on-demand functionality, SPACEWAY 3 is enabling an ever expanding range broadband services over North America to enterprises, consumers/small businesses, and government agencies. These include high-speed Internet access of up to 5 Mbps per site, single-hop, mesh IP networking between sites, and high-availability, and quality of service solutions among many sites.


A variety of service plans are available with the HN9000, delivering throughputs up to 1 Mbps on the uplink, and up to 5 Mbps on the downlink.  Operating as an IP modem, the HN9000 incorporates several advanced features to increase throughput performance and maximize the user’s experience and satisfaction. Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) mitigates delay and increases overall throughput over satellite channels, while the unique Hughes TurboPage® feature provides HTTP acceleration for lightning-fast browser performance.
