The Universal Hub
The Universal Hub description
The ideal market-entry size satellite hub for service providers operating multiple high performance IP broadband networks
This Universal Satellite Hub system is a cost-effective, compact, highly scalable solution for service providers operating multiple networks looking to benefit from the same level of flexibility, efficiency and reliability as larger hub solutions.
Overview
This Universal Satellite Hub is a 5U, 19” rack-mountable chassis that supports up to 4 line cards each capable of data rates up to 20 Mbps (iNFINITI® TDM) or 138 Mbps (DVB-S2) on the outbound and up to 10.8 Mbps (D-TDMA) on the inbound. Designed with integrated, convenient plug-in modules such as power, RSM and fan, this highly functional chassis provides a high level of redundancy and reliability to the network operator.
