How It Works

The HughesNet® always-on satellite connection increases your productivity by giving you instant access to the critical information you need—without the delay of dialing in or the slow response of low-speed dial-up connections, and since HughesNet delivers high-speed Internet over satellite—not over your telephone line—you can work online and have your phone or fax line free for customer communications. Built for growing businesses like yours, with download speeds of up to 2Mbps, HughesNet allows multiple employees fast access to the Internet simultaneously.

How does it work?

HughesNet utilizes two-way satellite technology to link your business to the Internet. A certified HughesNet installer will connect your computer to a satellite modem and link it to a satellite dish (antenna) that’s typically mounted on the roof of your office building. The satellite dish sends and receives information (i.e., email, Web pages, files) over the Internet and delivers it your computer almost instantly!
