HX System
The ideal satellite networking platform for a wide range of IP-based fixed, mobile, and transportable solutions.
High-Performance IP Routing
For mobility and mesh networking applications, defense agencies need satellite routing solutions with full IP functionality and high performance. Designed and optimized for carrier-grade IP broadband networking and specialized applications such as mobility and mesh networking, the HX System comes with an economical gateway earth station and high-performance remote terminals.
HX System 4.0
For military and defense organizations, the new HX System 4.0 provides key functionality and specific operational frequencies to support the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) system (WGS certification pending).
Besides a comprehensive set of enhanced mobility features, such as integrated Doppler correction, automatic beam switching, and enhanced return channel spreading, HX System 4.0 includes:
-
Dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 design, enabling simultaneous support of both protocols
-
Higher efficiency coding on both forward and return channels
-
Performance enhancements to the HX200 series for best-in-class throughput and efficiency

The core component of the HX System is the HX Gateway, which acts as the system master and includes the network management and dynamic bandwidth assignment manager. The HX Gateway uses a DVB-S2 carrier with Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) for the outbound channel received by all HX System remote terminals. HX remote terminals utilize FDMA/TDMA channels to communicate back to the HX Gateway (star mode) or to each other (mesh mode). The FDMA/TDMA channels of the HX System are highly efficient and are based on the industry-leading standard, Internet Protocol over Satellite (IPoS), approved by ETSI, ITU, and TIA. The FDMA/TDMA channels of the HX System support data rates up to 3.2 Mbps.
