Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES) has intro'd their high performance Wideband Configurable Demodulator Subsystem (CDS). This system featuring the capability to simultaneously demodulate multiple time division multiple access (TDMA) channels on a 36 MHz satellite transponder. Housed in a compact, 1 rack unit enclosure, the initial implementation of the Wideband CDS supports the simultaneous demodulation of up to 9 channels, bringing operators significant benefits of reduced rack space, greater operational flexibility, and reduced power requirements for the hub equipment of Hughes advanced HX and HN Systems. The Wideband CDS is tunable across a 36 MHz satellite transponder and can simultaneously demodulate up to 9 TDMA channels of varying symbol and coding rates. The channels received by the Wideband CDS can be any combination of symbol rates, ranging from 256 to 2,048 ksps. The Wideband CDS is housed in a compact, one-rack unit enclosure and does not require additional components, reducing hub equipment space and power requirements and features GUI-based management that provides easy control of configuration and installation parameters. No new hardware is required to support it on an existing Hughes HX or HN System.The Wideband CDS is now available with the Hughes HX System and will begin shipping with the HN System in late 2008.
