Millions of homes and small businesses around the world depend on satellite connectivity for Internet access. HughesNet^®, the leading satellite Internet service, connects more people in more places across the United States and Latin America than any other satellite Internet service, bringing the Internet to people who live where they love.

Around the world, many people cannot afford Internet service. To make connectivity more affordable and bring more people online, Hughes powers community Wi-Fi hotspots, where people can access the Internet with their smartphones for as little as a dollar an hour.

Satellite backhaul makes it feasible to offer cellular services in areas that are impossible or prohibitively expensive to reach using traditional terrestrial means, such as fiber, cable, or microwave. From India to South Africa to Peru, mobile network operators depend on Hughes to backhaul cellular traffic in 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE for their most difficult‑to‑reach service areas.

Hughes technology powers Wi-Fi connections on more than 1,100 aircraft. When equipped with Hughes JUPITER™ Aero technology, aircraft can roam across JUPITER-equipped systems anywhere in the world, providing gate-to-gate connectivity for passengers and crew.

When natural disasters occur, satellite is often the only way to communicate. First responders and relief organizations rely on Hughes to stand up connectivity in the wake of hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires.

Thousands of small and medium-sized businesses rely on satellite Internet for essential business functions, including payroll, website management, social media marketing, credit card processing, and much more. In Upper Michigan, a historic lighthouse and museum relies on HughesNet^® to run critical business operations—such as point-of-sale transactions—for its gift shop.

The Hughes JUPITER System supports more satellite networks around the world than any other satellite ground network system. The JUPITER System enables high performance and efficiency in delivering broadband services over satellite and continues to push the boundaries of technology with each generation.

The Hughes fleet of High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) supports a variety of consumer, business, enterprise, in-flight, and mobile network operator applications across two continents. The fleet provides coast-to-coast coverage of the continental US, Mexico, most of Canada, and major parts of Central and South America.

The U.S. military relies on resilient satellite networks from Hughes to conduct mission-critical operations in remote corners of the world. Hughes technology powers military applications such as comms-on-the-move and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLoS) communications networks for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and helicopters.
