Satellite router overview

The HX90 satellite router connects to a satellite network to provide Internet or
intranet service or both to a host—typically a computer—or to multiple hosts on a
wired (Ethernet) or wireless local area network (LAN). The router has two Ethernet
LAN ports so it can be connected to one or two LAN subnets. The HX90 satellite
router is designed to meet the needs of enterprise business customers, small
business users, and consumers.
The HX90 is an Internet Protocol (IP) router, and so it eliminates the need for an
external router.
