HT Satellite Terminal

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4580 · Hughes Network Systems, LLC · data as of 2026-10-09

HT Satellite Terminal, from Hughes Network Systems, LLC, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4580 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement. Observed moving to historical on 2026-09-22. It was one of the last FIPS 140-2 certificates, all moved at the 140-2 sunset on 2026-09-21.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3.1 of the Security Policy.

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Hughes JUPITER System is a broadband satellite system designed to support high-throughput satellite communications. It consists of VSAT satellite terminals, single rack or multi rack JUPITER GWs and the capabilities to manage these devices over the network. The Hughes Terminals is the indoor unit (IU), which connects the client workstation to the outdoor unit (ODU) over an inter-facility link (IFL).
