The Hughes JUPITER System is the satellite ground platform, enabling services on geostationary satellites around the world. This deployment follows that of several service providers, including Stargroup, that are employing Hughes JUPITER System technology to connect more than 7,200 Community Wi-Fi and internet access sites across Mexico. At each location in the deployment, a Hughes remote terminal (model number HT2524), designed and optimised for LTE backhaul (including support for GTP acceleration), powers services at 20-60 Mbps down, ensuring fast and reliable internet connections for individual users. Powering connections from each cell tower to the network core, the Hughes JUPITER 2 satellite provides the bridge connecting rural mobile phone users to the internet with reliable, high-speed Ka-band capacity and enterprise-grade service level agreements to meet the criteria for service delivery set by CFE Telecom. “We’re proud to continue supporting Stargroup in their important work connecting the unconnected as part of the Internet para Todos programme.” “Stargroup’s choice of a managed service that combines our high-throughput JUPITER satellite and high-performing ground system will bring more Mexicans the connectivity they need for work, school, community and more,” says Ramesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president, international, EchoStar. “In areas of the country outside the reach of fibre, the only way to access the internet is by satellite, and Hughes JUPITER technology sets the standard when it comes to LTE backhaul by satellite.” “The government has made it a priority to extend internet access to every municipal capital in Mexico, and we are proud to help achieve that objective together with Hughes,” says Monica Aguirre, chief executive officer, Stargroup. As part of the Mexican government’s Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) Telecomunicaciones e Internet para Todos initiative to help bridge the digital divide, Stargroup is connecting hundreds of remote cell towers using Hughes JUPITER System terminals and Hughes JUPITER 2 high-throughput satellite capacity. Hughes Network Systems, LLC, an EchoStar company, has announced that Stargroup, a Mexican telecommunications and entertainment company, has selected the Hughes JUPITER System and managed satellite broadband to extend LTE service to customers in rural communities.
