Launched in March 2017, JUPITER™ 2 (EchoStar XIX) doubled the Ka-band capacity of JUPITER 1 and increased the availability of HughesNet® high-speed satellite internet service coast-to-coast across the continental United States, as well as Mexico and Canada. JUPITER 2 has a multi-spot beam, bent-pipe Ka-band architecture based on the SSL 1300 platform. The satellite enables download speeds up to 25 Mbps, which the FCC set as the definitive rate for broadband, distinguishing JUPITER 2 as the first ever satellite to deliver broadband speeds from coast to coast across the U.S. With JUPITER 2, Hughes launched HughesNet Gen5 service.
