UHP HUB
TDM/TDMA Network
UHP TDM/TDMA HTS Hub has a high-availability modular design, HTS Hub
based on principles of distributed computing. The Software-Defined
Architecture pioneered by UHP Networks is at the core of the Hub
design. The Hub is composed of Universal Controllers (UC),
interconnected with Gigabit Ethernet links on the data side and with IF
splitter/ combiner on the IF side. Each UC is implemented with a single
UHP-200 module and has two IF interfaces and two Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces. Depending on the software license installed, a specific UC
can operate as Outroute Controller (OC) generating a single Outroute
TDM (DVB) carrier, Multi-Carrier (MCD) Inroute Controller (IC) capable
of receiving up to 8 TDMA carriers, SCPC DAMA transmitter or o Multi-spot beam scalable Hub
receiver. UC may have no specific license installed; in this case it
o Universal hub controllers and
serves as a standby resource in the UHP Smart Redundancy scheme. dynamic license assignment
A single 1RU unit UHP-240 houses two UC and can implement up to o Optional 200 Msps wideband
two OC and up to two MCD-IC. Extra Outroutes and Inroutes can be modulator with HubMux slicing -
multiple networks per carrier
added by growing the number of UC with appropriate licenses. The
Hub can support any redundancy scheme for any of its elements, and o Local-/Geo- Smart Redundancy
also geographical redundancy for multiples Hubs.
The Network Management System (NMS) runs on a Linux server. It is Standard Hub
separate from the Hub, so it’s failure would not bring down the VSAT
network. While the NMS optional in a basic Hub, it is required in the
high-end Hub designed to control a network operating over High-
