HX Mesh
The Multi-Star Mesh feature was introduced into the HX
System as part of HX System Release 2.0. As illustrated
in Figure 1, the HX Gateway is capable of supporting
mesh terminals that have the ability to receive TDMA
transmissions from other HX mesh capable terminals.
In addition, an innovative concept of a MeshGW (Meshgateway) remote site is introduced to support high volume
mesh sites such as regional data centers as well as
supporting Multi-Star mesh topologies. A MeshGW site
provides hub-like connectivity to terrestrial infrastructure.
The MeshGW provides support for multiple star subnetworks
without requiring the implementation of a full blown hub
that requires an HX Gateway including a DVB-S2 outroute.
The MeshGW is capable of receiving TDMA transmissions
and sits in the center of a star providing connectivity
to terrestrial infrastructure external to the HX System.
However, like a regular remote site, it only listens to the
DVB-S2 outroute and transmits via star mode to the central
HX Gateway. The term MeshGW refers to the set of HX
System satellite equipment (for example, a set of Mesh
Terminals and ancillary control equipment acting as a unit)

As illustrated by Figure 5 and Figure 6, systemwide peer-topeer connectivity can actually be viewed as a single region
case of terminal-to-regional terminal connectivity where full
intraregion mesh is enabled.

DVB-S2 ACM
The Hughes HX system offers the optional ACM feature
defined in the DVB-S2 standard that allows the Hughes HX
Gateway to dynamically adjust FEC coding and modulation
based on signal quality feedback from the Hughes HX
remote terminals. This feature is very useful in optimizing
transponder resources in varying link margin conditions
caused by rain fade or geographically diverse site locations.
