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).
