Re: One-Way vs Two-way Satellite Systems I said "Simple Answer"! Its my God's honest experience. All it took was 2-Way training and one installation back in 2000 to see they hadn't figured things out there either. Obviosly 8 years later they're no better. I'll stick with selling things that work and that I believe folks will benefit from thank you.
To answer you questions in order now that I have more time:
1) "Hybrid Technology" is where more than one technology is integrated into the modems for IP traffic via satellite and terrestrial transmissions. The SW-20 w/ PTSN-Return modems are available for "Last Mile" areas outside the reach of cable, dsl, fttx and wireless. The SW-20 w/ GPRS/EDGE-Return modems are currently available for those "Middle Mile" areas but the customer would have to have an account with a GSM provider like ATT or T-Mobile.
2) To answer your "head-to-head" question, I need time. We currently are waiting on some test results which are currently being conducted by a 3rd party. I will keep you posted.
3) All you need to do is Google "Hughes proprietary satellite technology" - I made it simple for you here: »www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe···oq=&aqi=
My Q back to you: where did Hughes start out? Who was their first customer? |

3 edits | A half day of training, and one installation in the ensuing 9 years. That explains a lot.
1. that's just more advertising. Do you not understand the question?
2. not an answer. When you post debatable information on a public forum, you must also devote the time to defend it. Failing the latter only weakens your position.
3. not an answer, you again apparently didn't understand the question. Using your SW20 as a reference, what do YOU define as proprietary about DirecPC/Direcway/HughesNet modems?
and answering a question with a question is deflection, pure and simple. You do that a lot. But FWIW, I don't have a clue what Hughes first customer has to do with any of this.

kudos:1 | 1) That's how the technology is defined. If you don't like my answer it obviously was a good answer because you were setting me up for one of your great 'come backs' just to show me how much more you know about all things. Birdman has gotten into this act himself. Fun for the 2 of you but boring for me and I assume many other people around here. YAAAWNNNN.
2) Well that's all I have. I've already told you that I haven't touched a DirecPC/Way/Hughes/Net since 2000. I am waiting on a head to head review of a Hybrid technology system VS. a HughesNet system. I really don't know which modem it is, haven't they changed the modem over 9 times already in 9 years? Can't get it right yet huh? I am sure I will know more once I get the results. I will keep you posted.
3.&4. Their initial contracts were all military. They morphed the platform into a consumer brand hence all of the headaches and trouble. |

kudos:1 | More on 3&4). from the Google search I deflected and linked above.
With “every component proprietary to Hughes,” as Dorfman said, the satellites only cost some $ 150 million apiece.

Brand Name Justification: associated network equipment to be used with this gateway and terminal equipment is compatible only with the Hughes modem technology and proprietary communications protocol. Other brand equipment would render the associated network equipment inoperable.

The payment resolves assertions by Hughes, the world's largest satellite maker, that from 1963 to 1982 the Government used the company's proprietary technology without permission.

Company officials, during a press conference in Washington, D.C., said an open satellite broadband standard was important for the satellite industry to encourage development in the satellite broadband industry. Until now, most satellite broadband providers have been using proprietary standards in their satellite systems, said Pradman Kaul, chairman and chief executive officer of Hughes Network Systems, based in Germantown, Maryland. "This has lead to systems that do not talk to each other," Kaul said of the proprietary standards.

That's it for now GG.
Have a great evening everybody!!!

That's progress. I'm just sorry that it takes such direct confrontation to force such realizations For your further edification, here's a direct quote from their HN7000S and HN9000 modem spec sheets: " Hughes satellite products are based on the IPoS (IP over Satellite) global standard approved by TIA, ETSI, and ITU". The only thing proprietary are the acceleration techniques used (primarily in the NOCs) to overcome the effects of latency over the satellite path. Wildblue has their own proprietary set, as does Wildblue, iDirect, etc. Their publications very likely carry similar statements. I'm making this point, because Skyway has not seen fit to invest in such technology - which is the other side of your " proprietary technology" coin - and which also goes a long way explaining why they can sell their service for as low as $30/month. //greg// --

If your definition of "proprietary" is patented inventions then you must know that ALL satellite technology, including yours, is or once was proprietary.
You chose to go back into a time when HEC was IT in the manufacture and deployment of satellites! The remnants of that part of the company is now owned by Boeing Space (manufacture) and Intelsat (deployment/ownership), and they are responsible for a great deal of the hardware that is up there. Yes, I know, AMC15 which you and I both use was built by Lockheed, but it uses a lot of that same "proprietary" stuff that is no longer under patent!
The current company named Hughes has virtually nothing in common with HEC except the first word in the name.
