Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Depends who owns them, the units to factory default is quite simple, the license file for the Hub would be needing a request from Hughes to transfer/ recommission...
And just to add the Irish lottery which Camelot won was not awarded to HNS so it's questionable if they will renew
Agree with antenna repoint but the architecture national lottery uses "HN" modems Avanti already have the hubs, so excluding a new ODU/ antenna if they offer a compelling through life support cost I can't see why they wouldn't have a chance at winning... after all they dropped there pants on the space segments costs for EE and the ESN contract bandwidth costs and most of us know Camelot are always out to save the pennies... I wish them luck if they get the commercials right the amount of terminals in this network is 40K +
Contracts coming up for renewal hats off to AVN if they swipe this from Hughes
https://spaceflight101.com/calendar/ Link to verify is Spaceflight101 website - confirming the Oct 18th 2017 launch date, can anyone add any comment here - this is the first scheduled launch date I have heard/ seen for Hylas 4. Do we believe this is true and the launch is scheduled, sharing the ride with Al Yah 3 from Yahsat. This is great news if so and I would solidly expect the share price to climb through Sep/ Oct if no contradictions come out of the wood work.
What if all the noise on this board was being posted by me, myself and Irene... I do wonder sometimes if there really is multiple people or just one person trying ramp/ deramp and stay neutral all by different accounts... hey ho I'm bored by the noise aren't we all?
Seems folks here are mixing single terminal performance with total system performance... Jupiter for example can outroute multiplied uplinks f 1Gbps+ a Jupiter modem can receive any of the outroutes but it's CPU can only utilise a 100Mbps at max and that's also constrained to the traffic type (UDP) if it's TCP traffic the modem can process around 50Mbps that said the outroutes are not running any slower for the modemit's still 1Gbps and ten modems could sit with uncontended bandwidth buts that's highly unleastic to offer service like that... Think of it like a salami sausage and each modem getting a slice in time. Secondly all ISPs factor an uncontended bit rate of rougly 100Kbps per user (because our traffic needs are bursty and we're not always online) therefore a crude number of contention using the same philosophy you can have 10,000 users. The system works better the more users you have in the mix and the more bandwidth you prepend on dedicated transponders.. if say each user has with a CIR of 100Kbps, you could set a MIR of 500kbps and a BIR of say 10Mbps download from the outroute using token bucket QOS policy I assure you nobody would complain...
Very conservative link budget you have done there. Lots of transponders onboard a satellite. Hughes equipment is capable of very high speed out routes far greater than what you have listed for instance 1Gbps+ on 200MHz single ka transponders as well as efficient return channels - Avanti has the Hughes equipment to do this. I think your analaysis is too pessimistic. Also consider that whilst you can calculate a byte rate, you also need to consider acceptable usage policy's, fair access policy's and time of day offsets (business users/ consumer users) will operate at different times. The model works great if you know how to apply it - again look at Hughes in the US with 7million broadband customers on their satellites and systems.... for all Avantis faults, technology is not one of them, they really do need to increase their coverage and get those next two birds up pronto!
