Transportable Gateway (TGW)
This appendix discusses the HX Transportable Gateway.
The following topics are included:
• TGW Overview on page 81
• Features on page 81
• Services Supported on page 82
• DVB-S2/IPoS with ACM Advantages on page 82
• HX Transportable Gateway specifications on page 82
TGW Overview
The transportable gateway (TGW) is based on and is fully
compatible with the same architecture as the larger, fully
redundant HX system. However, the TGW’s equipment is
contained in a single rack that can easily be packed, moved and
reassembled.
The system is well suited for applications where network
transportability is critical - including homeland security,
continuity of operations, tactical military, and remote news
gathering. At only two feet in height, the system is a size and
cost-efficient solution to support the rapid deployment of smaller
satellite networks in difficult operating conditions.
Features
As with the larger, fully redundant HX system, the TGW supports
the following HX features:
• Star and star/mesh configurations
• AES encryption option for both outroute and inroute channels
• Seamless, geographically diverse redundancy option
• Intelligent, protocol-sensitive bandwidth assignment for
optimum performance and efficiency for each application
• Wide range of QoS options including dedicated bandwidth
assignments
• Efficiently engineered IP transport that supports data and real
time voice (VoIP) applications
• Network Management Support Services used to manage the
gateway and satellite modems
Plus, due to the transportable nature of the TGW, the system
supports satellite on-the-move modems.
