Germantown, MD, Oct. 2, 2018 — Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), a leading provider of managed network services, today introduced HughesON™ Secure Connectivity Service (SCS), an affordable network solution for small- to medium-sized businesses.

The solution is optimized for performance and network security regardless of the type of broadband connection.

“HughesON SCS gives businesses of all sizes and any number of locations a robust managed firewall solution on par with the largest enterprise-grade networks,” said Mike Tippets, vice president of enterprise marketing at Hughes. “More and more businesses today are depending on cloud-based applications and in need of a managed security system.
