Description
The Series 15100 Universal Satellite Hub is ideal for service providers operating multiple high performance IP broadband networks. It incorporates the latest advances in performance, enabling network operators and military service providers to deliver the highest quality connectivity regardless of bandwidth requirements.
The chassis houses up to 20 line cards, providing a very modular approach to growth. Operators can start off with just a few remotes in one network and easily scale to several thousand remotes on multiple networks. Equipped with 5 intermediate frequency (IF) interfaces accessing C, Ku, or Ka band on up to 5 satellites, the Series 15100 brings scalability designed for growth and performance.
With ST Engineering iDirect’s most advanced, built-in Group QoS functionality, network operators can increase quality of service levels, bandwidth optimization, and traffic prioritization for complete flexibility when managing the end-customers’ SLAs.
The Series 15100 Universal Satellite Hub provides high availability by integrating redundancy into all the critical components of the chassis, including auto switchover, timing group synchronization and fault isolation for geographic redundancy.
The Universal Hub and line cards are easily configured, monitored, and controlled through the iVantage® and iDirect Pulse® network management systems, our complete suite of software-based tools for configuring, monitoring and controlling networks from one location.
