Re: [SRS] When will DW6000 be made public/upgrade promotion?
Hear that DW 6000 only available from New National Distributor Galaxy Broadband. Sounds great- don't know if Lincsat or C-COM will have it- its on G3R |

Don't count on any such limitations. Either sources or satellites.

First part may have some truth to it, second is a pile of moose droppings!
Let's don't post these rumors, please!

| Mikofox- there is only one active gateway for the DW6000 at the moment- on G3R. They are bringing up G4R but I was told that it will not be available on G11 in the near future- same as the DW4020 is not available on G11- overcrowded and little or no space to grow. Not rumour those are facts told to me by Direcway and DirecTV folks in US. I am also told that there is no active upgrade program but I am sure that will change fast enough- there are still lots of markets for used DW4000 modems.

Sorry, don't buy it!
Spoke to LinCsat the other day and the DW4020 is available on G11 for some time now. Installers, correct me if I am wrong.
I would expect the same to be true for the DW6000. Since the new modem is going to replace both the DW4000 and DW4020 after stock of these run out, one would assume it will be available on all three DW satellites.

Re: [SRS] DW6000 is Fantastic!
Shipments going out this week in USA
Canada will have product by mid october. Just attended a training session on Installation- fantastic!
Confirmed that Canada installs will be on G3R for balance on 2003- no idea about US- kiss the 4000 good-bye this will be what everyone wants. has a built in modem 56 K if satellite signal fails, software on board- can be pre commissioned. No phone line for commissioning etc.Available in .74 and .98 models- suggested .98 for SOHO market.A Real Winner

If it's true what you are saying, then it will be a bummer for all who are not on G3R already, and may not be able to repoint.
I cut down half of the forest around here to get on G11 and if I have to do all this repointing s... again, it would tick me right off.
Also heard that new outdoor hardware is required, which would make this modem less attractive to me than the DW4020.
One would think they could produce a modem (pre-programmed if need be) to just replace the DW4000, no matter which satellite it is pointed to.
My enthusiasm about it is shrinking by the day.

I'm not sure what unplugme is suggesting here, but I think the message is about "new" installs, not upgrades.

You heard wrong.

That pretty much describes the plan for the DW6000.

Re: [SRS] When will DW6000 be made public/upgrade
Hey Pet Dude- In Canada there is only one gateway available on G3R- got my training and certification in Ottawa Yesterday. Great unit easy, fast, reliable- its a real winner - kiss the 4000 good bye!

Re: [SRS] DW6000 is Fantastic!
Gentlemen- eventually the DW6000 will be available on all birds but not now. In the case of the 4020 it only became available on G11 6 months after G4R and Sat Mex5 . Each satellite requires Hughes to install a gateway that supports the equipment. There will be an upgrade program for the DW4000 but I don't think you will see it till late first quarter next year. As far a changing equipment the transmitter on new units is different as it is set up for the eventual launch of a dual in-route-256K burstable- (2-3- months) but you will need a .98M dish to support dual in-route-same as 4020.
Clearly everyone will get to upgrade over a 12 month time frame but those who want it now will have to set up on G3R- no problem with footprint other than northern Canada- slightly bigger dishes.
No confrontation-just real information

Through which VAR if I may ask?
Is this a restriction from the VAR or Hughes?
Also does it apply to upgrades? Maybe you should have asked them, what's happening with existing DW4000 customers.
Technically speaking, the unit must surely work on the other satellites too.

| Right now it means repointing the dish.
The existing DW4000 users will get an upgrade but the dude from Hughes said early next year- for right now. any certified installer can upgrade by the online certifiaction process- Where are you located- i will send you a Var contact or I can sign you up. send me an email link

Actually Modem (VADB) is only available for enterprise customers as a backup and the new satellite being used is G3C (same place as G3R) |
