On December 9, 2003, the Telecommunication Industry Association published TIA-1008 and ushered in a new age for the satellite industry. TIA-1008, better known as IP over Satellite or IPoS, represents what the satellite industry has been seeking for over 30 years—a standard with mass adoption. With several hundred thousand sites deployed, IPoS-based terminals have proven themselves reliable, scalable, and easy for applications developers to work with. We invite you to take some time and familiarize yourself with this industry-altering new standard.
The entire HN family of satellite terminals and routers is compliant with the global IPoS (IP over Satellite) standard, the only standard approved by TIA, ETSI, and ITU standards organizations. IPoS enables the Hughes broadband system to provide superior inroute performance and efficiency.
- Clearly defined interface conforming to the ETSI SI-SAP standard enabling back-end systems to work easily with the DW infrastructure
- Truly dynamic bandwidth assignment––remote sites with no traffic are assigned no resources
- Inroute Quality of Service––Committed Information Rates (CIR) per active remote terminal or group of terminals
- Operation in the saturated region leading to better cost efficiency
- Finer inroute granularity allowing a lower average burst overhead thereby increasing efficiency
