Blue Sky supplies two Hughes terminals for a fixed Eutelsat OneWeb service. The HL1100W is the lighter half-duplex terminal. The HL1120W is the full-duplex terminal, with separate receive and transmit panels, for sites that need more throughput in both directions.
- Electronically steered
- No moving parts
- Fixed sites with a clear view of the sky
- Wi-Fi 6 and two Gigabit ports

Both are Ku-band terminals for a fixed install. The practical difference is whether upload and download share one panel, and how much peak throughput the terminal is built for.
| HL1100W | HL1120W | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Half duplex, one panel | Full duplex, separate receive and transmit panels |
| Peak downlink | Up to 57 Mbps | 195 Mbps |
| Peak uplink | Up to 10 Mbps | 32 Mbps |
| Cables to the outdoor unit | One coax, data and power | Two coax runs |
| Power draw | 130 W typical | Up to 300 W |
| Outdoor unit | 597 × 401 × 61 mm, 10.6 kg | 597 × 828 × 136 mm, 24.1 kg |
| Best fit | A lighter fixed site that can share the link between upload and download | A site that needs higher rates, with upload and download at the same time |
The HL1100W uses one electronically steered panel for both receive and transmit, so the link is half duplex. It is the smaller, lighter terminal, and it connects to the indoor router with a single coax run. Hughes rates it for enterprise, government, and high-end fixed installations.

What is in the kit
- Outdoor unitOne flat panel. It transmits and receives on the same face, and tracks the satellites electronically.
- Indoor routerWi-Fi 6, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a local page for status and diagnostics.
- Power supplyFeeds the router and sends DC power up the single coax to the outdoor unit.
The HL1120W uses two electronically steered panels: one for receive and one for transmit. Upload and download can run at the same time. It is the higher-rate fixed terminal, and it needs two coax runs plus a larger power supply. Hughes rates it for the same class of fixed enterprise, government, and high-end sites.

What is in the kit
- Outdoor unitTwo panels on one assembly. One receives, the other transmits, so the link is full duplex.
- Indoor routerThe same class of Wi-Fi 6 router: two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a local management page.
- Power supplyA larger supply, rated to 476 W, feeding both coax runs.
The same on both terminals
Receive is 10.7–12.7 GHz and transmit is 14.0–14.5 GHz, with circular polarisation: right-hand on receive and left-hand on transmit. At boresight, G/T is up to 11 dB/K and maximum EIRP is 36.6 dBW over 40 MHz. The outdoor unit steers a full 360° around the sky, out to 54° from overhead, with a pointing error within 0.75°.
Startup finds the satellites and joins the network on its own. A phone app is used for commissioning and status. The indoor router also has a web page for monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. The outdoor unit is built for ice, hail, and lightning protection to the levels in the Hughes specification, and for worldwide fixed use where the sky is clear.
These are fixed terminals. For a vehicle, vessel, or team that is moving, look at Kymeta or the mobility services on the satellite broadband page.
Peak rates depend on the OneWeb service, the site, and how busy the beam is. They are design peaks from the Hughes specifications dated 21 August 2024, not a guaranteed speed. Those documents list South Africa as a 2024 homologation market for the HL1120W, and as still in progress for the HL1100W. Ask us to confirm the current type approval before you order.
