Hughes Network Systems announces its managed VoIP solution for the government market. Using the new Hughes ActiveQoS technology, Hughes can provide superior voice quality over affordable broadband, eliminating the need for agencies to invest in expensive, leased line Multiprotocol Label Switching networks.

ActiveQoS Ensures High Quality Voice

Hughes ActiveQoS technology is integrated into the customer equipment onsite and actively monitors and adapts to network congestion over the broadband network. Hughes ActiveQoS incorporates several innovative optimization methods, including traffic metering, network change adaptation, and traffic prioritization, to ensure that real-time, latency sensitive applications, such as voice, get through on an end-to-end basis. As a result, government users enjoy a high-quality voice experience with minimal packet loss and jitter.

Government agencies typically have had to deal with dozens of local service providers to meet the voice and data needs of their small and medium-sized field offices. Hughes enables them to consolidate all their voice and data capabilities nationwide under a single managed services provider employing the most cost-effective mix of broadband network transport technologies. The Hughes VoIP solution includes both hosted VoIP, as well as SIP trunking services, and offers full number portability.
