    HX260 (Figure 1) is a high-performance satellite router designed to provide carrier-grade IP services using dynamically assigned high-bandwidth satellite IP connectivity. In addition to the capabilities of the HX200, the HX260 satellite router includes an integrated mesh receiver, providing simultaneous star and mesh connectivity.
