Which Direcway system is right for me? Hughes Network Systems, a leader in VSAT design and manufacturing, has three different platforms to fit the different needs of individual customers. All DirecWay Indoor Units (IDUs) work with the same antenna and Outdoor Unit (ODU) configuration. The DW7000 is a single chassis IDU that is immensley versatile, and Hughes Network Systems latest Satellite Modem, suitable for single users, small LAN or large LAN networks. It offers a single LAN port (10/100BT) so a LAN hub/switch/router is required for connecting more than one device.The DW7000 can transmit at speeds upto 4096 Kbps. The DW6000 is a single chassis IDU that is best for single users or for small LAN for 3-4 PCs. It offers a single LAN port (10/100BT) so a LAN hub/switch/router is required for connecting more than one device. The DW6000 can transmit at speeds upto 256 Kbps only. The DW4020 is a three chassis unit that is best suited for LANs with 5 to 15 PCs. It has a built in, four port Ethernet switch (10/100BT) that can directly connect up to 4 LAN devices. Connecting more devices will require an external LAN hub/switch. The 4020 has better processing capacity as the satellite and LAN processing are shared among the three chassis. The DW4020 can transmit at speeds upto 128 Kbps only. Please note older 4000 series, sometimes sold as the "Star Duo" are now considered legacy systems and unless upgraded to DW4020 are only available on legacy service plans and the above pricing will not apply. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
