HM400 Modem
The Hughes HM400 provides users with the next-generation software-
defined modem for satellite communications (SATCOM) on-the-move.
Building off the success of the award-winning HM200, the HM400
leverages the unique Hughes Scrambled Code Multiple Access (SCMA)
Waveform technology that enables bandwidth efficiency for smaller
antennas and EBEM with integrated TRANSEC for Fixed or Mobile Military
applications. Being software defined, the HM400 has the flexibility to host
a large suite of downloadable, standardized government and commercial
waveforms. The HM400 can also flexibly operate over multiple
frequencies (L-, Ku-, Ka-, Mil Ka-, and X-band) and multi-orbit (LEO,
MEO, GEO) constellations. Finally, the HM 400 provides the capability to
access worldwide SATCOM services through existing VSAT and MobileSat
service providers or customer-specific networks/gateways.

The HM400 was designed with flexibility in mind, leveraging an open


architecture that enables use with any qualified system components that

*About Hughes SCMA Waveform: The basis of the HM System is the Hughes SCMA technology. Continuing the Hughes tradition of innovative satellite
solutions, the SCMA waveform utilizes the latest software-definable technology, enabling high-data throughput with secure and efficient sharing of bandwidth.
Hughes SCMA technology is especially well suited for operating over satellites employing extremely small antennas (microterminals), with potential applications,
such as tactical COTM, asset tracking, sensor networking, and smart grid. The waveform optionally includes Upper-Layer Protocol Enhancements (ULPEs) for
high-speed transmission with zero packet loss through rotating blades on aircraft. Additionally, there is an outer code that offers protection against intentional
interferences. Paired with the SCMA, the HM System is an advanced generation solution that continues the Hughes legacy by using advanced waveform
capabilities to bridge the gaps in current market technology and delivers meaningful cost and size reductions where they matter most.
