Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband

The HX200 supports connection to a variety of radios, including industry-
standard L-Band BUCs, and is easily configured to support the full range of
advanced features offered by the HX System, including mobility support. The HX260
multichannel demodulator enables the unit to operate in full mesh mode with a
