Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub

The ideal hub for service providers operating multiple high performance IP broadband networks
The Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub combines scalability, functionality and flexibility benefits, enabling network operators and military service providers to deliver the highest quality connectivity regardless of bandwidth requirement, satellite band or network topology.

Smart Design With Great Scalability


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 5IF interfaces accessing Ku, C-or Ka-Band on up to 5 satellites, the Series 15000 brings a new level of scalability designed for growth and performance.

Features

Maximum Flexibility
The Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub is highly flexible, supporting the entire array of topologies and access schemes including star, mesh, iSCPC, deterministic MF-TDMA and iNFINITI TDM or DVB-S2/ACM, all in the same chassis. Bandwidth can be increased on the fly via additional line cards from 64 kbps to 138 Mbps on the outbound and 64 kbps to 10 Mbps on the inbound. With iDirects 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.

Compact, 11U, 19 rack mountable chassis with 20 line card slots enabling multiple in-and outbound networks 5IF interface supporting multiple bands and transponders on up to five satellites Supports star, mesh and iSCPC Supports DVB-S2/ACM and iNFINITI on the outbound, D-TDMA on the inbound Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces supporting high carrier symbol rates High level of redundancy (hub daisy chaining and geographic redundancy) Enables Virtual Network Operator management reducing capital investments and increasing ROI

Greater Efficiencies Through Bandwidth Optimization


The advantage of DVB-S2/ACM as the most bandwidth efficient transmission scheme, coupled with the ability to deploy iNFINITI TDM for smaller networks makes the Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub fundamentally more efficient for any network requirement whether voice, data and video applications, business continuity networks, cellular backhauling or military-grade communications.

High Reliability
The Series 15000 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, and hub daisy chaining for easy network expansion.

Simple, Intuitive Network Management


The Series 15000 Universal Satellite Hub and integrated line cards are easily configured, monitored, and controlled through the iVantage network management system, iDirects complete suite of software-based tools for configuring, monitoring and controlling networks from one location. This powerful NMS also enables virtual network operations, reducing initial capital expenses by leasing hub chassis space to operators who want to view and manage their own networks of line cards and remotes while maintaining privacy and absolute traffic segregation from other network operators sharing the same hub.
