HughesNet going back to 7k KU band??

[grohgreg]

Yes, Greg that is the one I am looking for. ...Would you mind posting the link to where you found that photo?

Actually that's a file photo from one of my hard drives. But give me a few hours, I'll see if I can come up with something more tangible.

Hughes is fielding a new modem the 9200 series it is a KU modem. They have not said where they intend to use it but I believe that they have a few undergoing BETA test at this time

HughesNet is currently rolling back their systems, starting in mid Feb they are going to have their installers start installing KU band 7000s systems. I have installed a few 7000 systems and well over a 1000 9000 systems. The biggest reason for installation purposes I like the 9k better is the fine tuner adjustments that take up the weight of the dish for pointing. I salvaged part of a fine tuner off a 2 watt commercial system I upgraded, but it does not fit on the current model 7000 AZ/EL mounts. Does anyone know where I can purchase one of the elevation brackets that I can use to aid in the pointing process? I can only find 2 online retailers that carry and they are both sold out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Nick

you have a PM

I found mine, but it is missing the top bolt, but I used to just use a screwdriver, should be easy to find a replacement

More interested in this statement. Were you sent an announcement from HughesNet Dealer Support? I did not get that memo. Why would they do this???

My understanding is that the newer 9200 is a dual-band modem, capable of working with either Ka or Ku radios. Wouldn't they be phasing out the 7000s in favor of this modem? I see them listed on Perfect 10's website, as well as 7000's and 9000's.

Can anyone corroborate/expand on this question?

Will or can hughesnet upgrade their equipment to compete with this new exede ?

Hughesnet plans on launching their improved service for 12 MB as well. Is the 9200 for that or is there going to be a whole different system? If a whole different system is required then why now release a 9200?

The 9200 is described as a Ka/Ku modem, but it operates in the L-band. So the frequencies between the dish and the satellite are immaterial. What's important is that it's compatible with the gateway on the other end. 9200 modems are currently being installed for access via Spaceway3, which makes it a simple matter down the road to simply turn the dish to the new Jupiter1. Current Spaceway3 customers with HN9000 modems will probably have to simply change modems to take advantage of a Jupiter upgrade. Ku-band customers however, will almost certainly have to replace everything - if they want the Jupiter upgrade.
