Hub Features

Scalability
PolarSat's NANOOK system has the advantage of a relatively low initial hub investment to start network trials or pilot service. In addition, the NANOOK hub system integrates with existing equipment to leverage a provider’s existing substantial investment.

Multi-Service System
NANOOK's hub allows service providers to utilize a mix of both one-way receive only and two-way platforms. This means that service providers can select the optimal mix of remote terminal types and associated services to meet a wide variety of applications. One-way service providers can now upgrade to support two-way applications. The hub supports video and audio stream multiplexing in addition to the IP data transport.

Redundancy
The NANOOK system provides a hub redundancy option. The entire hub or specific elements can be made redundant based upon the operator’s needs.

Network Management
PolarSat's Network Management System (NMS) is based upon the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage the elements of the NANOOK Broadband Access system. It enables operators to quickly deploy the suite of broadband services. The NMS provides the gateway necessary to link electronically with upstream OSS. A selection
of protocols is available to support northbound interoperability to existing OSS systems.

The system offers a user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI), which simplifies Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M) tasks. It includes applications for Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) management.
