Dialog Hub Modules

The Dialog hub series provides operators the flexibility, high performance, and efficiency designed for operators to meet the need for multi-service connectivity today and scales as demand increases. A vast choice is available in terms of the number of satellites, satellite bands, transmission speed, power, modulation, and support for SCPC, MF-TDMA, and our patented Mx-DMA return link technologies.

Three sizes of hubs are available. The 4IF Hub for small gateway deployments and the XIF and iDirect Hub for large gateway deployments.

The HUB6504 – 4 IF Hub – is designed to support up to four satellite networks in a single rack and is the ideal solution for service providers looking for small gateway deployments. The modularity of the hub gives service providers agility to respond to their customer and market needs in a fast and cost-effective way. Additional satellite networks can be added easily and rapidly, simply by adding additional modulators, multicarrier demodulators and blade servers into the preconfigured rack slots and activating in the Dialog NMS.
