Managed Networks for the Manufacturing Industry
Hughes’ managed network services for manufacturing provide high-performance, always-on connectivity to support your distributed production sites, real-time analytics, and global supply chain coordination.
With decades of expertise in network management, we develop, deliver and manage tailored, scalable solutions to handle the complex demands of modern manufacturing, supporting productivity, security and operational growth across all of your sites.
Keeping Manufacturing Connected, Protected and Efficient
Adopting advanced digital approaches, such as smart factories, cloud-based management and industrial IoT (IIoT), provides a spectrum of benefits for your manufacturing business. However, it also introduces new challenges around network reliability, security and data management that can impact your production.
Hughes' managed network services for the manufacturing industry keep every facility, machine, and remote team connected. Our high-performance solutions provide the speed, resilience, protection, and flexibility needed to optimise efficiency, prevent costly downtime, and help ensure quality across your product lines.
Wireless WAN for Fast, Flexible Networking for Industrial Operations
If your manufacturing plants and warehouses are in industrial zones, remote areas, or temporary sites, reliable fixed broadband may not be an option. Hughes Wireless WAN delivers a fast, flexible solution that keeps production lines, inventory systems, and connected devices online without disruption.
Our Optimised Wireless Network Edge (OWNE) solution integrates 4G, 5G, satellite, and microwave to support real-time IoT monitoring, cloud applications, and remote workforce connectivity. With rapid deployment and built-in failover capabilities, Wireless WAN gives your business the network agility and resilience to operate in any environment.
Enhancing Manufacturing Efficiency with Managed SD-WAN
Smart factories and IoT devices depend on high-speed, low-latency networks to keep production lines running smoothly. A single network failure or congestion outage can disrupt automation, inventory tracking, and logistics, causing delays and financial loss.
Hughes Managed SD-WAN prioritises your mission-critical applications, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) platforms, supply chain logistics and IoT sensor networks. Designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, it enables an affordable transition from legacy networks without disrupting operations. By intelligently managing traffic across multiple connections, including fibre, LTE, and satellite, SD-WAN ensures reliable connectivity, reduced latency, and scalable performance, keeping your production lines running at peak efficiency.
Managed SASE Solutions for Smarter, Safer Manufacturing
As your manufacturing operations increase the usage of cloud-based applications, real-time data analytics, and interconnected global supply chains, network traffic surges substantially. Yet, your network must sustain uninterrupted, secure connectivity to avoid compromising your operations.
Hughes Managed SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) integrates network performance and protection into a unified cloud-native solution. With zero-trust access, dynamic traffic routing, and end-to-end encryption, SASE supports secure access to applications, real-time collaboration, and resilient IoT data transmission. By deploying this managed solution, we ensure every one of your digital applications, platforms and devices perform at their best while communications across your smart factories, production workflows and remote teams remain safeguarded.
