The Transportable hub features:

• Up to 135 Mbps outbound / Up to 6 Mbps inbound per carrier
• DVB-S2 CCM/VCM/ACM outbound maximizes bandwidth efficiency
• Optimized for IP and multi-media content
• Open standard design (DVB-RCS)
• Qualified with multiple IP/DVB broadcast platform vendors
• Interoperable with 3rd party SatLabs certified terminal vendors
