UNIVERSAL HARDWARE PLATFORM

HIGH-THROUGHPUT HUB
MULTI-SPOT HTS HUB
o Designed for multi-spot
HTS networks
o Based on low-CAPEX
universal controllers
o Required functionality is activated
by SW license as network develops
o Easy SW license transfer between
teleports, beams and satellites
o Cost-effective scalability up to 64
spot-beams and 500 000 terminals
o Self-healing network
architecture
o Dynamically assigned
network roles
o Automatic M:N local and geographic
redundancy
o M:N site diversity with multiple
teleports for increased availability
o Saves over 40% of Hub CAPEX
thanks to functionality license reuse

HTS CONTROLLER LICENSES
UC Licenses

o HTS NMS supports two types of licenses: HTS HUB

o OC – Outroute Controller (1 DVB carrier)

o IC – Inroute Controller (MF-TDMA or SCPC carriers) IC OC HTS NMS

o HTS Licenses are installed directly into HTS NMS

Dynamic
o HTS NMS manages all associated universal License
controllers (modems) and dynamically assigns Assignment

licenses with required configuration

o If the number of available UC is less than required,
Universal
HTS NMS will consider the predefined priorities Controller
(usually, OC take precedence over IC controllers) s

o HTS Hub supports Local- and Geo-Redundancy

feature with priorities and preemption
Abbreviations (roles):
OC – Forward channel controller
IC – Return channel controller

PREEMPTION OF MF-TDMA MF-TDMA

CONTROLLERS TDM TDM

EXAMPLE: A B
A. HTS Hub consists of 4 universal controllers,
1 OC and 3 IC licenses. All licenses are IC[1] IC[1]
assigned to UC and the network operates IC[2] IC[3] OC[1] IC[2] IC[3] OC[1]
with 1TDM forward and 3*4=12 MF-TDMA
carriers. All UC are in use.
B. If one UC is unavailable (failed) its role will Failed UC

be reassigned to another UC with a lower OC X

priority [3] with preemption of its previous
role (IC). The network continue to work IC OC Next to
preempt
with 1 TDM forward and 2*4=8 MF-TDMA
carriers. All terminals will share the IC IC
remaining MF-TDMA carriers.

LRM
o Geo-Redundancy and Site Diversity is an optional software extension [UHP-
HTS-NMG] of the HTS NMS [UHP-HTS-NMS]
o Geo-manager (GRM) of Smart Redundancy system allows dynamic switchover
between multiple teleports (M:N schemes) OC
o GRM constantly monitors the status of the Active and Standby teleports and
IC
manages respective Local-redundancy managers (LRM)
o If performance of the active teleport below the predefined criteria and some SC
standby teleport may ensure better services, GRM performs migration of the
licenses, configurations and network control to such alternative teleport
SC
o Site Diversity avoids service degradation caused by rain fade by automatic
switchover of the Teleports depending on the current atmospheric conditions SC
o Smart Geo-Redundancy supports M:N Redundancy and M:N Site Diversity
configurations, while uses just one set of SW licenses and ensures SC
tremendous CAPEX savings STANDBY
