Telecom Lead Asia: Maju Nusa (Majunusa), Malaysia’s VSAT service provider, has signed a deal with Hughes Network Systems to source an HX System 4.0 NOC (Network Operations Center) and 130 HX broadband satellite terminals.
Majunusa will utilize the System to deliver cellular backhaul services for 2G and 3G sites in rural areas without access to cost-effective terrestrial communications.
Launched in 2012, the HX System 4.0 includes a host of technology enhancements such as low jitter/delay and real-time streaming, making it ideal for cellular backhaul applications.
Additionally, the HX90 satellite broadband router features a new optimized encapsulation scheme on the outroute and advanced LDPC coding on the inroute, yielding best-in-class throughputs and lowest operational costs on satellite links.
Shahruddin Salehuddin, managing director of Majunusa, said, “The Hughes HX System 4.0 allows us to connect remote parts of the country and offer cost-effective backhaul for cellular mobile services without having to worry about jitter and latency on the satellite network.”
Installation of the new HX network has begun and is expected to be completed by April 2013.
Ramesh Ramaswamy, vice president of sales and marketing, International Division at Hughes, said the company was selected based on its excellent reputation among existing customers in the region and Majunusa’s success in operating their first Hughes HX System ordered at the end of 2011.
Majunusa currently has two VSAT hubs in Malaysia to serve customers in Malaysia and South East Asia.
